His former trainer Teddy Atlas said in response to everyone saying what you said after the fight, "If he was so determined, why didn't he show that level of determination and discipline before the fight, during training, instead of coming in 10lbs overweight for one of the biggest and most important fights of his career?" I'm not saying you're wrong at all, I actually think both can be true, but Moorer's lack of dedication in training is mostly what caused the split between them.
How smart Holyfield plays this after Moorer got away with the first knockdown. No rush, just clever and precise shots to the head after moving away Moorers defense.
I remember this Fight. You gotta Respect Michael Moorer's Heart. Being knocked down 5 Times and getting back up everytime, not too many Boxers can say they've done that.
Joe frazier was knocked down 6 times in 2 rounds against Big George foreman. Holyfield and Moorer both had a go at big george as well. All of them legends of the sport
Whats crazy to think is how many absolute WARS Evander had been in by this point. Moorer (who I respect) was never the same after getting in one "war" with Big George. Evander had brawled with Qawi, Cooper, Foreman, Bowe X 3 etc. Guy was a true gladiator. And in the first fight Moorer almost lost to him fighting with Holy only using one arm from that injury. Guy was a pure pit bull in the ring
Evander was the ultimate overchiever and make no mistake about it,he would have been the champ in any era...bare knuckle onwards and just a great all around fighter
He most definitely would you guys typing "no" must NOT KNOW BOXING simple. Holyfield wasn't overrated so people didn't know how great he was but he's simple up there with the best
The man could fight,could adjust and do it while being the lighter of the two.The man answered any questions when put to task and he did it with spirit...any person that knocks him only wishes that had his fortitude
Holyfield is the Greatest of All Time. Outstanding skill set, combinations were slick, footwork was amazing, stamina was insane, precise power combined with his unmatched HEART to fight and succeed, without ducking anybody... Any era in history, Evander would have been crowned CHAMPION! He is the BEST in my eyes!
@@kevinmunday5782 If we are assessing them all at their absolute best, the top 5 are: 1. Mike Tyson 2. Sonny Liston 3. Riddick Bowe 4. Larry Holmes 5. Wladimir Klitschko
@boxing fan uk Of the recognized champions of the decade, Holyfield was the most memorable and accomplished of them all. Foreman had just one successful (and highly controversial) defense before abdicating the title. Despite beating Holyfield in one of the greatest heavyweight fights ever, Bowe had a short and undistinguished tenure as champ. Tyson began the decade losing to Buster Douglas and lost to Holyfield twice. Moorer unseated Holyfield in their first fight but then lost the belt to Big George in his first defense; as we can see above, he lost the rematch to Evander pretty decisively. And while it's true that Lewis was 1-0-1 against Holyfield, he didn't fight for the legitimate championship of the world until 1999 and didn't win the title until November of that year. I think what speaks most to Holyfield's standing as the best of his era was the fact that of all the fighters I listed above, most of them never fought one another; Evander fought and beat-or-drew with all of them at some point in the 90's. So no, I'm not kidding. I think it's pretty clear that he was the dominant heavyweight of that decade.
@boxing fan uk I think you would have a really tough time finding many fight fans who would agree with you that the fighters you listed here (Mason, Ruddock, Bruno, Akinwande, etc.) would in anyway compare or supersede the list of champions and top contenders that Holyfield beat during that same timespan. All excuses and rationalizing aside, Lennox remained on the periphery of the heavyweight division until his title shots against a declining Holyfield in 1999. The common denominator for Foreman, Tyson, Bowe, and Lewis is that they all fought Evander during that decade while never fighting each other. Lennox was definitely the best champion of his era...it's just that his era on top ended up being the early-to-mid 00's, something that is no less of a great accomplishment.
@boxing fan uk Forgive me friend, you've totally lost me with all the hypotheticals, decision-disputing, and 'What if?' scenarios. We don't have to engage in conjecture or speculation about what might've happened because Holyfield was the only heavyweight to fight and beat-or-draw with all the champions and top contenders of that decade (i.e. Douglas, Foreman, Bowe, Tyson, Moorer, Mercer, and Lewis). Those fights all happened and he did enough to become the recognized world champion on three occasions during that time frame. Acknowledging that Holyfield dominated that decade doesn't take anything away from the fact that Lewis was the top guy from late '99 to '03. In fact, diminishing Evander's credentials and standing only serve to tarnish Lennox's accomplishment when he eventually took the title from him. I really don't know any other way to sort this through so I guess we're just going to have agree to disagree. Take it easy and God bless you and your family during these crazy times.
@@scott1713 that's true, gave holyfield his second loss, both good fighters, I like both of them, Michael moorer deserves more recognition, he was a good boxer
Moore’s showed more Warrior Heart & Spirit in this loss & gained more HONOR & RESPECT in this fight than any win he ever had. This Michael Moorer refused to quit, showed he has a 1 of a king heart & will to fight than any other fight. This fight made Michael Moorer 1 of the GREAT HEAVYWEIGHTS in our time. 7 knockdowns & still wanted to fight & Dr had to plead with Moorer “that’s enough” “that’s enough” Moorer was willing to die in the ring. Mad RESPECT FOR MICHAEL MOORER
One Holyfield championship fight was like 8 Klitchko championship fights in comparable magnitude. It would be like Klitshiko fighting AJ almost every championship fight. Holyfileds fights were BIg and he always fought the best. He constantly fought fellow champions and ducked no one.
Yes. Holyfield didn't have many title defenses cause he fought the top guys. Thats why the number of title defenses is meaningless. Joe Lewis, Holmes and Klitchko have one thing in common in many of their title defenses. They fought bums. No disrespect to them as champions but they had 20 title defense for a reason
@@briancamilli8873 unlikely someone could beat klitschko when hes at physical peak rhe dude is absolutely.beast and look at he fought tiny dude chambers..... Lol only giy could beat him is lewis as wladimir is just too powerful esp the jabs
johannsebastienbach Klitchko couldn't beat anybody that could punch. There is a reason wladimir didn't fight his brother. Because Vitali who had the better chin would of beat his brother
Brian Camilli Holyfield was like Ali...he fought everyone...and in most cases they were fellow champions at or near there primes. They were both top guys in a golden era’s of the HW division. They both seemed to elevate their divisions...
After seeing this, it's even more impressive how George Foreman managed to put Moorer on the floor long enough to not beat the count. Moorer really had heart.
The fact that Moorer was getting dropped by punches that wouldn't have dropped him earlier in the fight meant he had a concussion and was very susceptible at that point. Even though he kept getting up he was in danger of permanent brain damage. It was a good stoppage.
They didn't conduct testing back then. Even if they did, EH could get in the contract to not test. Lee Hainey was on his team when he bulked up from 190 lbs to 208 in a year or so. Grown men don't gain 28 lbs of muscle in a year. Especially after he gained from 178 to 190-195 for his pro fights.
Moorer simply refused to give up. The stamina he stood up with surprised me. I thought he will die after the last knockdown but no, he stood up and ready to fight on.
Moorer is definitely a force to be recognized as a champion. Considering Moorer beat HolyField in their first match. I like HolyField to when over Moorer in their second match.
OMG holyfeild is such a great powerful boxer damn ... He is very composed and perfect in the ring with great heart of wining .. Holyfeild really schooled Moore in this Fight.
No problem with waiting for the judges who usually have a little surprise between them. EVANDER HOLYFIELD. THERE IS NO OTHER HEAVYWEIGHT THAT I KNOW OF THAT IS MORE OF A TRUE WARRIOR THAN YOU!
After watching the 1st fight where he beats Holyfield, and how many times he was knocked down in this fight but got back up again..I think shows what a big Achievement it was when Big George knocked out Moorer to become the oldest heavyweight champion ever!
Moorer seems not to fully understand the limit of his toughness. He took similar risks with Foreman, standing toe to toe against a mountain-huge sledge hammer.
Foreman even lured him to trade and Moorer did. Took 2 left-right combos to floored him good. Moorer got heart but his chin couldn't keep up. Byrd Cooper also got him and Evander downed, that man Cooper was strong but limited.
I'm a lifelong Holyfield fan, but I gotta say, Michael Moorer deserves a LOT more credit for the fighter that he was. Great jab, very good skills set, notable puncher, and underrated heart also. Once people look beyond the loss to Big George Foreman, they'll see that Michael Moorer really was something.
Michael Moorer was a strong puncher and an excellent technical boxer, but he was never going to beat a fit and healthy Evander Holyfield. I am grateful that the ringside doctor stopped the fight between rounds. Suffering five knockdowns is just too much. Herbie Hide went down SEVEN times against Riddick Bowe before that fight was stopped. Now that was really unnecessary!
Moorer got the better of Evander in the first fight through Holyfield's health issues at the time.A fully healed,motivated real deal proved he was too physical and determined for moorer, enhancing Evander's greatness further with his ability to get revenge over an exceptional fighter.
Moorer was definitely not exceptional. He ran up most of his wins and the majority of his wins as a light heavyweight. He didn't bring his power with him when he because a heavyweight.
5 knockdowns. Evander couldn't never truly hurt anyone . One of the all time greats tho. He had just enough power. I've just always believed he didn't have the big power needed to be in that division.
Fk me Holyfield has to be one of the most exciting fighters ever. Maginficent physique and just beautiful combinations with the most perfect punching ive ever seen. Guy was a master in this fight.
Mike had pretty good stamina,he kept coming even after the field was putting him on the canvas.finally the doc stepped in to save him.the field a great fighter in his prime.
The best Heavyweight fight Real Deal had as far as being in his best shape was against Douglas. I never seen Holyfield look that crisp after, maybe against Tyson the first time.
0:21 - "How much work did you do, or was your diet that bad?" I'm assuming the announcer was referring to Moorer, because Moorer looked surprisingly out of shape for a championship fight.
Hollifield is an example of what you can achieve with just will and Heart He had no other advantages over other heavyweights he was slower, he was smaller he was not that hard to hit yet he won pieces of the title five times
@@Idontknowanyoda1 And not to mention the technique he was "born" with from Cruiser weight. He was a splendid all round boxer, and he had one unique thing that most fighters dont have. The commentator even said it : "Sometimes Holyfield needs to get hit to get it going", oh hell yeah so true. He would come back even stronger. I miss him and types like him in the heavyweight division. He was the one and only true warrior spirit.

Moorer was actually a light-heavyweight.
2 heavyweight champs unifying the title
Your nuts moore was a true heavyweight
@@markwall298 they both were. Both easily capable of carrying 200
5 knockdowns. Evander couldn't never truly hurt anyone . One of the all time greats tho. He had just enough power. I've just always believed he didn't have the big power needed to be in that division.
Moorer great talent...master of simple and efficient boxing...
What a great scrap by two relatively small Heavyweights, forgotten about this one.
"Watch out for head butting and possibly stepping on feet!"
😁😆😅😂🤣
He with the shits as soon as the bell ring!
2 of the greats
Fantastic match....
You can always tell when holyfield gets in the zone, because he starts to bounce. When that happens, you're in TROUBLE!
Fk me Holyfield has to be one of the most exciting fighters ever. Maginficent physique and just beautiful combinations with the most perfect punching ive ever seen. Guy was a master in this fight.
It's amazing what you can achieve with roids...
Mike had pretty good stamina,he kept coming even after the field was putting him on the canvas.finally the doc stepped in to save him.the field a great fighter in his prime.
The best Heavyweight fight Real Deal had as far as being in his best shape was against Douglas. I never seen Holyfield look that crisp after, maybe against Tyson the first time.
Vicious punches by Evander in this fight, really swinging for the fences.
watch him against Foreman much of the same technique but you can tell how tough George is its a bit disturbing tbh
Bad ass fight gracias
0:21 - "How much work did you do, or was your diet that bad?" I'm assuming the announcer was referring to Moorer, because Moorer looked surprisingly out of shape for a championship fight.
Yes he did super the first time but in this one he let himself down. It would be better if he had not accepted this fight.
Evander is like a raging bull. He keeps on coming!
90" era all the boxer are tuff.strong ..amazing ...not like now present era all are bums
Hollifield is an example of what you can achieve with just will and Heart
He had no other advantages over other heavyweights
he was slower, he was smaller he was not that hard to hit
yet he won pieces of the title five times
You mean Holyfield was slower? I don't think so. His movement and his punches were sharp and precise .
Braye Glover he had superior timing, awareness, but his actual speed was slower
Hassan Syed Holyfield’s biggest attribute was still his heart
He had no quit in him
His relentlessness would give you the desire to quit yourself
Im with you on hes heart bro,but when it comes to hes speed your wrong,not been many heawys as fast as Holyfield.
@@Idontknowanyoda1 And not to mention the technique he was "born" with from Cruiser weight. He was a splendid all round boxer, and he had one unique thing that most fighters dont have. The commentator even said it : "Sometimes Holyfield needs to get hit to get it going", oh hell yeah so true. He would come back even stronger. I miss him and types like him in the heavyweight division. He was the one and only true warrior spirit.
Holyfield un tipo muy querido. Un gran ser humano.
