Whatever happens for the rest of Mitt Romney's life, he'll always be able to say that he once dropped Evander Holyfield.

The 2012 presidential candidate wrapped his hands for a charity boxing match with the former heavyweight champion last night. While Romney's flurries against the ropes mightn't have been the most menacing, The Real Deal did allow him the honour of knocking him down with a delicate right hook. We weren't expecting Romney to come out biting ears or anything like that, and it was for charity, but if we had gotten all dressed up to watch a charity fight finish in a retirement like this, we'd be fuming.
