You do it again, it’s a mistake however, when you continue to do the same damn thing over and over and over it is no longer a mistake it’s, I don’t give a crap !!! Wear a damn rubber. So, you are asking as if he had made a simple one time mistake and it’s not.

    • @sheldoncooper0
      @sheldoncooper0 11 месяцев назад +6

      A lot of it is just charisma or energy/personality. Guys like Ali and Tyson were globally famous across many generations. They transcended boxing in terms of fame. Same with Michael Jordan and basketball.
      Most guys that make it to the top of their sport end up like Holyfield where their fame doesn't transcend their sport.

    • @kokoyaro
      @kokoyaro 11 месяцев назад +4

      @@sheldoncooper0 You nailed it right there with the charisma point. It's the first time I even got to learn that this man boxed since he was a child, competed in three weight divisions became champ in two, first ever and still the only 4-time champion, no criminal record, clearly outboxed and defeated mike tyson twice, never shied away from a challenge and never had to bite his opponent's ear to avoid a fair loss, etc.
      This man is clearly morality's prefered boxing role model but in a world where entertainment matters more than competence, it's apparently not enough to be the best boxer and best sportsman. At least in my mind he will always be the humble warrior who outboxed and beat Mike Tyson twice and could have beaten Mike 10 times over if they ran it back. I watched both fights and saw how Mike became frustrated that Evander took his best shots without flinching. Everything Mike tried had failed. Even after biting Evander's ear the first time and thought the match would be stopped, Evander continued fighting pretty well with a bloody ear. Mike targeted that ear with punches to make Evander uncomfortable but Evander continued to dominate the fight. Mike Tyson just couldn't believe that another human being in gloves could outclass him like that. I'm very disappointed that after the first ear-biting, the referee didn't call for disqualifying Mike and giving the win to this warrior, let alone the second bite. It just goes to show that boxing has been a dirty business for a long time

It also explains the "headbutt" accusations if you're charging in head first at Holyfield with a hook.
