Man that's a historic interview!! So cool to hear the excitement in Rob's voice too. Even after all these years, Holyfield still has the perfect explanation for the importance of the jab, top stuff!
Boxing is brutal. Looking at Evander reminds me of my late grandfather(may his soul rest in on peace) During old age, that's when all those years of puches starts messing you up real bad. I love boxing but this is the main reason I didn't become a boxer. Respect to every boxer out there!
Not sure what ya mean.. He looks fantastic and has all his mental faculties, all things considered, he's looked after himself very well. He certainly doesn't look old in the contemporary sense.
Usky won't liquidate Anthony. A lot of people think that Ajmerev is hot, so no one should predict victory, but I want Anthony to be world champion again 👑🙏
How great is this man? Being such a great legend in his own right and when asked about Usyk, saying he did more than me as the first comment....Excellent!!!!
Is it me or is he speaking more clearly than a couple years back? Either way its great seeing someone whos had so many wars and even heart problems still have his faculties on him
I was with him until he said Fury’s fought everyone (there’s loads left for him but spend 5 years fighting wilder and when he wasn’t doing that he was going life and death with Otto Wallin and fighting Tom Schwartz in front of 5,000 people) …..and the AJ fight didn’t happen at any fault of Fury’s…don’t get me started
@@mad-pit3832 Bro people are allowed to criticise professional athletes, this guy isnt saying he could do what Fury has just pointing out that his legacy isn't yet worthy of being called best of this generation
I think he meant that Fury has beat everyone he has faced, i.e. he is undefeated. Loved Holyfield as a fighter but he struggles with his speech. Also really nice bloke. Met him at a Lewis fight years ago thought he was a real gent.
I think Gypsy King Usky or Wilder Usky would be a fair fight! Anthony is a great Boxolo when he's injured, but Usky is a different world, fast refined Boxolo❗️ I think 60-40; 2- Rounding in favor of Usky, unfortunately. And maybe Gypsy King is also a question mark for me. If Anthony Wilder doesn't manage to fight King Gypsy against Usky, then Usky will hold the world championship title for a long time 🤨 I know many people like him, but Anthony is the one I want more 👑
Who has Fury not fought, hmmm........ USyk, Andy, AJ, Joyce and many more? C'mon man, people like Fury but, he not you Evander, you never ducked anybody and that's why you'll always be a top 20 if not even top 10. Fury is ok but, he has unfinished business to be the best of his era.
Holyfields 1 man who knows. A great cruiserweight. Can run rings around a great Heavyweight if AJ beats usyk. We all Gota recognise. The greatest of AJ. AJs already great. Usyks already great. This is a real fight high level high Pedigree. 2 great Champions.
@@igordrakulovic6857 well he wouldn't. Would he. Coz he ain't in holyfields time I agree. Holyfields day was tougher 15 round fights. Means most fights turned into wars. Coz nobody wants to go. 15 rounds
I appreciate the solid old school wisdom Holyfield gave when asked how he would have done against Usyk. Excellent response. Holyfield inspired me as much as any champion in boxing history, because he had a heart of steel and he came to fight and he knew how to use his strengths, despite whatever advantages his opponents had. An amazing fearless fighter he was. Salute.
Saying fury is the goat, well its ironic their interviewing the greatest cw in history and went on to be the first man in history to be world hw champion 4 times and I think is still the only man in history to be a hw champ 4 times but also was voted by boxing experts to be in 4 out of 10 of the greatest hw fights of all time so with that little resume we can safely say wherever holyfield comes on the list of all time hw greats he's certainly above tyson fury..
@@seantogher3468 Dont sell Fury short. He could teach Holyfield a thing or two about drugs; both in terms of PEDs and anything he can snort up his nose.
@@tonysa2337 Feck fury .. and distracting from the point , Holyfield clean / not clean . And that’s not an invitation for discussion bud ... yae or nae.
Alot of iron clad philosophies there. If you aint doing well, you aint even got there, doing well is how you get places, you have to do the things you do, real well, you have to remember that always first. - Evander Holyfield Thanks Champ. Do well, get there, and do real well. Straight up.
This man is a great legend he went on too long, disgusting they let him fight at 58 so sad seeing that beat down from a steroid guy especially not nice to see a legend have to go through that they need to set up a pension for boxers so they don’t have to comeback way past their prime
If he'd retired straight after winning the title from John Ruiz. His legacy would be held in even higher regard. But still a true legend. 5 time world champion. Across two weights. First man to become Undisputed cruiserweight champion, first to do that and go up and become a heavyweight champion, more over an undisputed heavyweight champion. First and only 4 time heavyweight champion. Truly great. Fought on too long. But despite that at 48 years old came very close to becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in boxing history when he lost a close decision to the giant Valuev. Would have been the oldest and first 5 time heavyweight champion. True legend. Pound for pound one of the very very best ever.
Yea but he was one of the dirtiest fighters ever ... and to cherry 🍒 the cake he was roided out of his mind to the point it almost killed him... jus saying..
@@seantogher3468 he was dirty, but it's not a tea party. Plus no dq's, so as much as I don't like what he did, he was crafty. Tyson used to follow up with elbows. It's all part of the game. Holyfield also didn't take roids at cruiserweight. Plus a lot of what he took was legal at the time, and many many heavyweights were at it back then. But one thing's for sure, roids don't make you a warrior. Which he most certainly was.
One day after too many drinks at the local pub I was surrounded by some robbers. I had no way out and was cornered, next thing I know I heard a flash and a bang and all I see was evander standing there over a pile of knocked out robbers. He turned and smiled. I said wow, thanks champ. He chuckled and walked out as he said "don't mention it, kid". Just as soon as he appeared, he was gone. Will never forget that day
@@chrisbennett6260 Holyfield was asked how a fight with with Usyk would pan out both in their prime but didn’t answer, though he did talk a lot in his drawn out non answer.
@@howardsmith8430 thats his Guinness maybe hes tyrying to be respectful ,holyfeild is not known for talking down opponents and ones not likely to ever fight except in a mythical showdown, .how would usyk and a Michael spinks the jinks play out ,he went up and beat the great larry holes the eatern assassin ,who was one fight from matching marciano 49 and 0
If aj can find 70% of holyfield heart an bravery in a boxing ring he could reverse the loss to usyk an would be ironic considering usyk wants to be like holyfield being the greatest cw in history and then being one of the greatest hw,s of all time.
Wir hoffen, dass du wieder Weltmeister wirst, Anthony, du hast ein großes Herz, ein guter Mensch, unsere Herzen sind bei dir und werden dich während des gesamten Kampfes begleiten! Du schaffst das Aj- 👑
The real deal don't want to say he was too skilled, to strong and too good for Usyk. . The best cruiserweight of all time and the only 4 time heavyweight champ.
I don t understand why these boxing legends always throwing negative comments on Deontay wilder,seems like they don't appreciate what he's bringing to the sport tyson always said negative appreciation to wilder now holyfield does the same, He should learn how to boxe but He got knockout records the biggest Punch in the boxing History He got good record only two losses and one draw

Closer fight but Usyk still clearly winning more rounds but getting robbed, so AJ split decision or Majority Decision.

Usyk v holyfield at cruiserweight?...who wins?... and the same fight now at heavyweight who wins?
Probably the most humble boxer
Fury needs to fight AJ or Uysk to be the best fighter in this Era, Evander please try and be just on this one..Respect
He was, AJ or Usyk haven't fought Fury either but that wasn't the question, he was asked who'd win if they did & he said Fury......
needs to fight both plus more
@Leemus White Give him a break, he's almost as incoherent as Mike Tyson nowadays
I think Gypsy King Usky or Wilder Usky would be a fair fight! Anthony is a great Boxolo when he's injured, but Usky is a different world, fast refined Boxolo❗️ I think 60-40; 2- Rounding in favor of Usky, unfortunately.

Did he say Tyson Fury has fought everyone? And it's not his fault the AJ fight wasn't made? You're a legend.. but clearly not up to speed with things
It’s quite the opposite isn’t it haha. AJ has fought everyone except wilder a fury. While fury has fought nobody except whyte and wilder 🤣
