Agreed. Hugely talented & very courageous. I have Lewis best of his era. Pound for pound Holyfield was the best boxer of his era but he was just a little too small. Tyson & Bowe both also very good in a golden era.
No he wouldnt, his style was two blade swords...he couldnt box, actually he could...but after 2-3 rounds he would start his slugger style of fighting...he just couldnt keep distance and jab, after few rounds he would start a war...that style he fought was extreme for his body to maintain for too long on pedestal. He didnt had power like Tyson or some other...so he would usualy go 12 rounds slugger fighting and exchaging blow for a blow...
this was great

What? Lewis the best ? Who was destroyed by mediocre fighters like McCall or Rahman.
Holyfield wasn't small at all.He was better than Lewis.
Evander holyfield....the best fighter
Well deserved both Evander Holyfield and Michael Johnson, it would have been harsh on either of them had the award not been shared.
If Holyfield would have been a natural heavyweight, he would acomplished much more & would have been a dominant undisputed champion for years.

well done evander.
i never like holyfield.
but i want him to fight david haye.
Holyfield was quite articulate and always told of a lesson. Nowadays he just talks about his mama. Wtf .
He only talked about Christ back then..
