So, Apparently NBC Don’t Know Who Evander Holyfield Is!

Evander Holyfield is regarded as one of the greatest boxers ever but you still wouldn't expect to see him waltzing along the streets of London during the Olympics. Or maybe you would? I mean, he clearly likes sport.

Still, you would expect someone at the "Today Show" to recognize him, especially considering someone stopped the former heavyweight champ outside of Buckingham Palace to ask him about Queen Elizabeth's acting debut alongside Daniel Craig in the opening ceremony.

But no one did as the clip above shows.

Evander calls the Queen "wonderful" in his quick comment but wasn't labelled by his name in the extraordinarily brief segment.

Evander Holyfield Goes From Champ to Chump

Evander Holyfield v Francois Botha in 2010

Most of us learned a long time ago that if you are going to do 'it' and don't want any happy, little unplanned Mini-Mes produced, you need to put protection on. Apparently, Evander Holyfield never learned that lesson.

The former champ is looking more like a chump these days. It appears that he has fallen into the same pattern that too many professional athletes seem to. He started having kids and just couldn't seem to stop. Now that he is not the world class boxer that he once was, he is having trouble keeping up with all the child support payments.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Does Not Appear to be Worried About Jail

Floyd Mayweather gets a pre-jail pedicure

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going to jail today to serve a 90 day sentence, with three days credit, so he's getting locked up for 87 days. Yesterday, he didn't seem the least bit concerned about his impending stay behind bars.

'Money' tweeted this picture of himself getting a pre-jail pedicure, because, well I don't know why. Because he's Floyd Mayweather mostly, but I guess if you're going to be in small cell for nearly three months, you want your toes to look nice?

Meet the Subject of the Next Great Boxing Movie: Johnny Lee Tapia

By Travis Pulver | May 30, 2012 @ 8:45 am

I don’t know all the fighters or even the champions of the many weight classes over the years; I’m a fair weather fan (there; I said it). So when I read about the death of former five-time world champion Johnny Lee Tapia passing away over the weekend (at the age of 45) I had no clue who he was.

After reading a couple of articles about his death I became intrigued and researched this guy a bit. All I can say is holy cow! This guy led a life that Hollywood could never even dream of making it the perfect choice for the next great boxing movie. It has everything--tragedy, drama, action, crime, violence, success, etc. It doesn't hurt that it's true either!
