Lmao exactly. There is absolutely no connection between him and 2pac except for they both lived in ATL at one point in time. And I guess u could say Tyson but that would be a stretch because pac and Tyson never really hanged out that much.
Indeed 5 time world champion....because he never been a guy who ruled the division and lost it frequently ....one time it was a cheating win against Lennox....
I'm a fan of neither but he's a not a legend for all those intentional headbutt and Tyson ain't a legend cause instead of just headbutting him back... his bit his damn ears. 😂
People rarely tried to back Tyson up. I think when you combine Tyson's lunging style with a fighter trying to push him back you're going to get the kind of clashes that occurred
Any fight fan that can tie his shoes knows that Tyson couldn't beat Hollyfield, was frustrated, couldn't impose his will and failed. Too many simps in the fight fan community who are dumb as ever
I used to think the headbutts were unintentional until I saw him fight Tyson the second time where it was way more obvious. Not to mention The Rahman and James Tony fight. The refs were scared to deduct any points. It's crazy!!
@@marcuscarr123 It takes two to head butt. Tyson could have back away, but all Tyson knows how to do is move forward. Holyfield had the ability to punish those who charged at him.
Lennox Lewis said Holyfield used to put a tire around the heavy bag when he was training and working out SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of improving his headbutting
Lennox is full of crap. Nobody else has ever seen or claimed anything like this, and how would Lennox know? They never had the same trainer, or worked out in the same gym. Were this actually true, it would be notorious within the boxing world, not something that one guy claims.
The funny thing is, people often say Mike was past his prime when Holyfield beat him forgetting that SO was Holyfield. Holyfield was even OLDER than Mike when he blasted him
Why can’t people just accept that Holyfield wasn’t scared of Tyson and he had the will and determination to beat him, he bullied the bully, and I’m a huge Tyson fan saying this and I really hate how people just come up with all these excuses for Tyson just because he got beaten, we gotta stop discrediting Holyfield, he beat Tyson fair and square just accept it
Agreed beat tyson fair and square but tyson wasnt in his prime since 89 when the fight should have happened if tyson wasnt coked up screwing hookers the night before buster douglas
I'm a huge Tyson fan myself, but I'm a boxing fan first. I don't think Mike was a top 5 heavyweight, and he definitely lost to Holyfield AND Douglas fair and square. Tyson's diehards make more excuses than anyone.
Holyfield know for a fact he dipped his head into the clinch. He didn’t give a damn. As long as he got leverage on the inside. “Smart move” He needed to smother Tyson’s power. He broke my damn heart on both fights. Holyfield is a legend
If you've never watched a boxing match before then you'd think that was cheating. Most fighters that are inside like that fight like that. I've seen Tyson lead with his head on many occasions, including in the Holyfield fight. People just make it a big thing with Holyfield because Holyfield vs Tyson was the superman vs batman debate back then. Get over it, superman won.
Even Holyfield laughed at his interviews with Jim Grey after the fight. He said if his assessment of Mike, "Not a big difference, Mike was knocking guys out before and he's still doing it. But there's nothing like a fight when both men come to win" in forecasting his upcoming rumble with Mike.
@@SomeBodyIUsedToKnow8 I've watched plenty of Holyfield's fights and haven't seen proof of headbutting with the exception of the one where the guy had the knot over his eye but I didn't watch that particular fight!
Mike was the most feared FIGHTER ever. Holyfield was one of the greatest BOXERS in history. That matchup was exactly played out like Ali v Frasier or Ali v Foreman. Skill and unwavering WILL to Win will always beat power.
@TheGr8-1 That's just not a fact nor is there evidence to it. Foreman and Liston were some of the greatest to do it but to say that they were feared more than Tyson is just not true but I guess we all have a right to an opinion. Many boxers didn't even want to go into the ring with Tyson,and there's evidence to that in interviews,pre and post fight interviews,etc. Especially during the years of 85-90. Prime years.
@@Broteinn yes they were. Not to mention the only ones scared of Tyson were certified bums. Who did Mike beat that was considered an elite fighter? Even bum ass Buster beat his ass.
People really don't get that Holyfield genuinely headbutted people. It wasn't JUST Tyson. Rahmen got it really bad, and Lennox Lewis is also on record saying Holyfield would intentionally headbutt people and that he did it to him multiple times as well.
@@earth7551 yes sir. One of Tysons main ingredient to winning was his intimidation factor when he faced Douglas that night Buster refused to lose and wasn't scary same with Evander, wasn't no punk in them those nights. Tyson seen it going the same way the 2nd fight and found his way outta of it via the infamous bite.
Mike would dive in behind his jab to get inside. Either a distraction jab or the jab to the chest, duck in behind it establish position and come up to the body and or head violently. Evander didn't let him dive inside, he would beat him inside never allowing Mike to set up camp. Brilliant strategy. Made Mike totally ineffective.
Post jail Mike was a shell of his former self. By then he was much heavier and a head hunter. The old Mike was a defensive wizard who worked the body to get to the head
It's funny that you say Tyson was not the same, but don't say Holyfield was not either! The reason the fight happened in the first place was that Tysons team thought(Like a lot of people) that Holyfield was shot. holyfield had loads of things going on that pointed to him being washed up. i guess if you were not a big fight fan back then you would be oblivious to the ins and outs of the fight coming about.
@justineebourgeois3420 Lmao even Tyson admitted he used headbutts as an excuse because he couldn't beat him if you watch that fight and that's what you came away with you don't know shit about boxing Holyfield took him to the woodshed beat him like he stole something
Before anyone says "it wasnt the same Tyson." Well, it wasn't the same Holyfield either. I'll add this as well, Holyfield was always going to beat Tyson and if Evander fought Lewis in Holyfields prime, Lewis would have gotten Ko'd or stopped. No questions asked.
LOL, timing matters... If Holyfield fought Tyson in the 80s, Holyfield weighed only 170 lbs while Tyson weighed naturally 250lbs and had to LOSE weight to come in at fighting weight of 220.... If Holyfield fought Lewis in the 80s, he would've lost as well. Lewis is a natural super heavyweight that is a whopping 6'5... When he trained for fights he still came in at 250lbs, imagine his usual walking around weigh he'd probably be 300lbs +....
@sheldoncooper0 timing is everything. I feel Holyfield would have beaten Lewis though. He outpointed an old Holyfield. I don't want to go back and forth though. We can't go back in time to see it happen!
I love tyson but holyfield won and was winning both fights easily.tyson is a slugger but guys like holyfield and mayweather are skillful fighters who can beat you with counter punching and moving around
Tyson was winning that 1st fight before he got head butted in the 6th round. Didn't win another round all night. Bowe & Lennox Lewis was 6'5". Holyfield couldn't headbutt them but he tried with Lewis
In boxing when you have 2 guys whos not backing up headbutts will occur period the fighter has to make adjustments so its Fairplay just like when southpaw and orthodox fighters fight eachother your going to step on the other fighters foot at some point is science!
So my feeling watching this fight several times is that this was Evander's way of dissuading Tyson from coming in hard and fast throwing combos. He'd just lower his head and move forward and generally speaking, their heads would clash. He wasnt specifically headbutting Tyson, he was just moving into that open space where they would likely clash heads, that was his defense against the Tyson charge. It made Tyson not want to charge in, cause he didnt want to smash heads.
He was known for Headbutts and low blows. There’s a compilation of him headbutting and hitting Tyson below the belt in their rematch. Holyfield also Headbutt Hasim Rahman so bad that his forehead began to swell and Holyfield won through medical stoppage. He also did a combination of a Headbutt and low blow on Lennox Lewis
I was the only one in my hood who said Evander was gonna win that first fight...and i won money! Tyson was in great shape. Look at his training vids around that time. Dude was brolic..and worst, Jail style brolic. I just knew Holyfield is different. His style is taylor made for tyson
Vlad, he was a 25-1 underdog, only got down to 5-1 bc the smart bettors knew that Holyfield vs. the Incredible Hulk wouldnt be 25-1, too good odds to pass up.
Vlad skipped over the 5th round when Tyson won it and drilled Holy with his best shots, his vicious hooks, and the right hook body/uppercut to jaw, all landed flush, and Holy sucked it up. He also ignored that the 6th round headbutt was a result of Tyson launching himself into the side of Holy's head like a f'n battering ram in a eay that would make Victor Ortiz blush. But Holy gets the bad rap thanks to excuse makers Horne, Holloway, and King.
That right to the body/right uppercut was thrown as beautifully and landed as clean as it ever was in Mike’s career. The victory for Evander was all the sweeter for him having to walk through the fire.
@@billdouglas8701 Indeed. Not to mention the two crazy R/L hooks he landed as Evander got a little overconfident coming in just prior to that. I remember Czyz/Albert yelling, "that hurt!" Hell, the 1st punch he threw and landed in the first second of the 1st round would've knocked down most of Tyson's prior opponents. But as Real Deal said in that awesome Showtime post fight special, "I truly believe, Mike can beat everybody else, but me. I know he has fast hands, and he hits real hard...but I can take it! But I have fast hands, and I hit hard...can Mike take what Evander do?" LOL. Awesome stuff..I also remember sometimes in the middle late rounds of the fight, Vander was walking Mike down and in control, and he almost taunted him with an indignant smile and said something like that in my head I imagined as, "Yeah, I got you now boy... how you like it Mike?"
Holyfields performances in Bowe 1 & 2, even though he lost the 1st one & his performance in Tyson 1 was absolutely HEROIC. Legendary. 3 of the all time best performances ever seen in a HW Championship ring, equal to if not better than any HW title fight in any era you care to mention. Without Holyfield there was no 90s HW Boxing. He is the ONLY one who gave the sport credibility. Bowe, had potential but he was wild n CrAzY & so was his whole crew, you didnt know what to expect when he was in town but you knew it was gonna be chaos. Lewis, ducked, dived, played politics, got KOd, priced himself outa fights n sued for step aside money instead of stepping up n staking his claim WHEN IT MATTERED. Tyson, Prison, banned for biting, got banned again after that. Big George, old. Moorer, KO'd by old George Comeback Larry, old Tommy Morrison, destroyed by Mercer Mercer, schooled by Comeback Larry. It was a circus act without Holyfield being Holyfield. He carried the whole division up until 1999.
Wonderfully said. You forgot about Mercer also trying to bribe Boogeyman Ferguson to not lose the shot at Bowe. And Akinwande and Golota getting DQd. LOL
I like holyfield he's a good man ...but he definitely headbutted the crap out of tyson ...several times...completely negated Tysons explosiveness ..the ref should have been held responsible for not doing there job
Holyfield’s counterpunching and height-reach advantage is what completely negated Mike’s explosiveness. In the very first round, Holy has already completely stymied Tyson’s forward march. And the referees did do their job; their call was that the cuts were the result of “accidental headbutts.” Halpern and Lane had the closest view of anybody in the arena, and that was what they saw.
@@billdouglas8701 every combination holyfield threw began with his forehead . Last person I saw use there head so effectively was andre ward in the super six tourney...you need to rematch
I just now went back to the video on RUclips and literally in the first 10 seconds ...the very fist exchange tyson lands a right hand holyfield stumbles to the right tyson advanced and holyfield ducked down and came up with a head but to tysons face....in the first 10 seconds there second exchange ...and then again dozens of times over and over again
@@anthonypalmer8714You’re just going to call every clinch and every instance in which their heads even touch while fighting on the inside a “headbutt.” Would you prefer for Holyfield to keep his chin up in the air and get knocked out? Again, the ref is just a few feet or even inches away, and they are not seeing what you are claiming to see.
Dude was stumblin, fumblin, and splainin. The shorter guys was really effected by the butts, but the bigger guys not so much because the butts could only get to the chin. Lennox Lewis always complained about Holyfield butting him.
Bruh everybody who wasn’t scared to fight Tyson win or lose they didn’t just last they won Buster beat Tyson when his mama died from stress that her son was about to fight the most dangerous man alive that and her illness worried that woman to death and Buster prolly was scared until his mom past look at how he beat Tyson he beat Tyson like he killed his mom no matter the fear conquer it and you’ll win no matter the obstacle
Evander did intentionally head butt and grab Tyson. All of this exhausted Mike. Yet, he never protested, just fought dirty back, and seemed slow and confused. Mike could never beat fighters who showed resistance, except for Ruddock. Holyfield picked Mike apart because Tyson lacked the necessary mental strength to overcome real adversity and become a truly great champion.
Holyfield was known for headbutting Lennox lewis said he went to a Evander workout one time and had a tire head level on a heavybag to condition his head on it for headbutts
Tyson hit Holyfield with his signature two-piece,hook to the body and uppercut, and that made Holyfield backup. That was the only great shot that Tyson got of Holyfield. It hurt to see Tyson lose but Holyfield earned that win.

I was the only one in my hood who said Evander was gonna win that first fight...and i won money! Tyson was in great shape. Look at his training vids around that time. Dude was brolic..and worst, Jail style brolic. I just knew Holyfield is different. His style is taylor made for tyson
Vlad, he was a 25-1 underdog, only got down to 5-1 bc the smart bettors knew that Holyfield vs. the Incredible Hulk wouldnt be 25-1, too good odds to pass up.
I can't wait for that Evander Holyfield "I Say I Say" remix to come out.
His head is his third fist, well known.
Vlad skipped over the 5th round when Tyson won it and drilled Holy with his best shots, his vicious hooks, and the right hook body/uppercut to jaw, all landed flush, and Holy sucked it up. He also ignored that the 6th round headbutt was a result of Tyson launching himself into the side of Holy's head like a f'n battering ram in a eay that would make Victor Ortiz blush. But Holy gets the bad rap thanks to excuse makers Horne, Holloway, and King.
That right to the body/right uppercut was thrown as beautifully and landed as clean as it ever was in Mike’s career. The victory for Evander was all the sweeter for him having to walk through the fire.
@@billdouglas8701 Indeed. Not to mention the two crazy R/L hooks he landed as Evander got a little overconfident coming in just prior to that. I remember Czyz/Albert yelling, "that hurt!" Hell, the 1st punch he threw and landed in the first second of the 1st round would've knocked down most of Tyson's prior opponents. But as Real Deal said in that awesome Showtime post fight special, "I truly believe, Mike can beat everybody else, but me. I know he has fast hands, and he hits real hard...but I can take it! But I have fast hands, and I hit hard...can Mike take what Evander do?" LOL. Awesome stuff..I also remember sometimes in the middle late rounds of the fight, Vander was walking Mike down and in control, and he almost taunted him with an indignant smile and said something like that in my head I imagined as, "Yeah, I got you now boy... how you like it Mike?"
He ate those. And proceeded to resume kicking his ass.
Holyfields performances in Bowe 1 & 2, even though he lost the 1st one & his performance in Tyson 1 was absolutely HEROIC.
Legendary.
3 of the all time best performances ever seen in a HW Championship ring, equal to if not better than any HW title fight in any era you care to mention.
Without Holyfield there was no 90s HW Boxing.
He is the ONLY one who gave the sport credibility.
Bowe, had potential but he was wild n CrAzY & so was his whole crew, you didnt know what to expect when he was in town but you knew it was gonna be chaos.
Lewis, ducked, dived, played politics, got KOd, priced himself outa fights n sued for step aside money instead of stepping up n staking his claim WHEN IT MATTERED.
Tyson, Prison, banned for biting, got banned again after that.
Big George, old.
Moorer, KO'd by old George
Comeback Larry, old
Tommy Morrison, destroyed by Mercer
Mercer, schooled by Comeback Larry.
It was a circus act without Holyfield being Holyfield.
He carried the whole division up until 1999.
Wonderfully said. You forgot about Mercer also trying to bribe Boogeyman Ferguson to not lose the shot at Bowe. And Akinwande and Golota getting DQd. LOL
"Ahh say..... I sayy..... Ahh say... " Haha
He headbutted the world
HABITUAL HEAD BUTTER...
🤣🤣
He is the Real Deal...Period.
Evander is 5 inches taller than Mike.. For it to have been that many “accidentally” headbutts is crazy
It takes two to head butt. Tyson charges in. That's why their heads came together.
I love you evander holyfiled you are my favorite boxer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
I don’t care what nobody else SAY …Holyfield won both fights against Tyson and I like Tyson
I like holyfield he's a good man ...but he definitely headbutted the crap out of tyson ...several times...completely negated Tysons explosiveness ..the ref should have been held responsible for not doing there job
Holyfield’s counterpunching and height-reach advantage is what completely negated Mike’s explosiveness. In the very first round, Holy has already completely stymied Tyson’s forward march.
And the referees did do their job; their call was that the cuts were the result of “accidental headbutts.” Halpern and Lane had the closest view of anybody in the arena, and that was what they saw.
@@billdouglas8701 every combination holyfield threw began with his forehead . Last person I saw use there head so effectively was andre ward in the super six tourney...you need to rematch
Rewatch
I just now went back to the video on RUclips and literally in the first 10 seconds ...the very fist exchange tyson lands a right hand holyfield stumbles to the right tyson advanced and holyfield ducked down and came up with a head but to tysons face....in the first 10 seconds there second exchange ...and then again dozens of times over and over again
@@anthonypalmer8714You’re just going to call every clinch and every instance in which their heads even touch while fighting on the inside a “headbutt.” Would you prefer for Holyfield to keep his chin up in the air and get knocked out? Again, the ref is just a few feet or even inches away, and they are not seeing what you are claiming to see.
Vlad jus showed the clip wen tyson said I was head butting him Holyfield first! Wtf…..whole time tyson had a nak for following through with elbows.
Dude was stumblin, fumblin, and splainin. The shorter guys was really effected by the butts, but the bigger guys not so much because the butts could only get to the chin. Lennox Lewis always complained about Holyfield butting him.
You know, you know, you know
Tyson was the dirtiest fighter head butter in history. Only cried about his head butting when he got the worst of it.
Holyfield is a notorious slick head butter. Tyson wasn't the only one that complained about intentional head butting.
Holyfield sounding old and different than he use to
Different? The man has CTE from brain boxing damage lol.
@@sharkkillag2456🤣🤣
@@sharkkillag2456lol from Tyson
Bruh everybody who wasn’t scared to fight Tyson win or lose they didn’t just last they won Buster beat Tyson when his mama died from stress that her son was about to fight the most dangerous man alive that and her illness worried that woman to death and Buster prolly was scared until his mom past look at how he beat Tyson he beat Tyson like he killed his mom no matter the fear conquer it and you’ll win no matter the obstacle
During this interview if I could get 1k..Every time he said "I say" ill be rich asf..😂😂😂
I bet when Vlad bumps into someone at Starbucks, he strikes up conversations about Keefe D and Suge Knight 5 days a week…🙄😀
The real deal
he headbutteddd
Tyson was runnin from that niqqa during the fight
HolyField was Headbutting Tyson,i mean with a head like that,made Tyson bite seem petty 😅
Tyson is the best ever.
Mike Tyson fans have so much excuses why mike lost this fight.
He took it to Tyson,,,head and all..lets fight...he fought
People finna go watch the fight now 😂
Evander did intentionally head butt and grab Tyson. All of this exhausted Mike. Yet, he never protested, just fought dirty back, and seemed slow and confused. Mike could never beat fighters who showed resistance, except for Ruddock. Holyfield picked Mike apart because Tyson lacked the necessary mental strength to overcome real adversity and become a truly great champion.
Holyfield was known for headbutting Lennox lewis said he went to a Evander workout one time and had a tire head level on a heavybag to condition his head on it for headbutts
Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Using a tire to “condition” your skull for headbutts..lol
Tyson hit Holyfield with his signature two-piece,hook to the body and uppercut, and that made Holyfield backup. That was the only great shot that Tyson got of Holyfield. It hurt to see Tyson lose but Holyfield earned that win.
a good wholesome christian man still tellin a litte white lie vout the "headbutt" lol
Most repeated phrases " I say, I say" " the big thing is" " my mama" " at that point " " fact of the matter" Feel free to add to this.
What he "SAY" 😂 Boxing is a Great Sport, but the Brain Damage is not.
