Exactly everybody should love their mother I know sometimes there are things are hard in life but... You always got to start with love from your family
Evander Holyfield was the king of headbutting. Mike's punches were killing him. Holyfield's strength was getting the ref at his back circling around and timing a head butt. Mike was right for getting him back. Any man has the right to defend themself. Holyfield is also the reason the heavyweight division had no credibility for so long. Im begging you to watch Lennox Lewis kick the snot out of him the whole fight. He didn't legitimately win one round. The judges gave that fight to Holyfield. Boxing will never live that down.
Didn't her the momma motif in his spiel. He ain't the champ But i damn sure respect Evander now... He loves his momma Who Isn't a mommas boy Great stuff Easy E.... Always love your momma That is a man size statement No One Tops Your Mommy
If you love and respect God this will give you patriarchal respect self-respect, and respect for all life. the Bible States how can you love God whom u never see and hate your brother that you see everyday!
His speech has improved so much I’ve never known a punchy boxer recover his speech it’s amazing he shouldn’t have a proper fight again just keep training and maintain that speech
Mike had it rough. I always felt sorry for him growing up and watching people judge him. No child should have to go thru what Mike did. When he lost his daughter I cried real tears for him. He’s endured so much pain and really never was the animal that he was painted out to be.
Holyfield is a great dude in and out of the ring. I have utmost respect for him. Tremendous champion. Miss the good ole boxing days when everybody fought each other.
@@shockadellick o I agree with that along with Don King
4 года назад+3
Cus new he was old, and he was not going to be around long. That is why he put a team together for Mike Tyson ,but he left them for Don King and Don King gave Mike Tyson a new team that did not know what they were doing.
bowe beat the shit out of hollyfield....you say gave him a good run for his money...ONLY IF BOWE LOST ...BUT HE WON 2 OUT OF THE 3 FIGHTS...sort yourself out mate.
Who cares Holyfield was never afeaid of Tyson and he had great skill to handle his aggressive style. Holyfield can take a great punch and give serious punishment back. Holyfield had heart and always fought bigger and stronger guys then him, but was never afraid and had a ton of confidence. Tyson was a bully type and his day was coming eventually. Holyfield could beat any version of Tyson.
@@boxcarent.3147 a lot of what you say is true but I would have liked to seen the well prepared and focused Tyson and holyfield fight not saying holyfield wouldn't have won but can't say Tyson would have lost
Holyfield wasn't the best version of himself either, it was still a great fight. Mike trained his ass off and truly believed he could win, probably would have if not for the headbutts
noremaC ur right but mike Tyson wasn’t mentally ready he went to jail for 3yrs and don king manipulated him he wasn’t the same mike anymore g. But I respect Holyfield
Underrated? Holyfield was an animal and never ducked anybody. Sure you don't hear talk about him like you hear about Ali, but nonetheless, he was a true warrior!
I never get tired of hearing Evander Holyfield talking. I like Mike too for different reasons, but I’ve always loved Evanders stories and perspectives. He looks and sounds good in this little clip. His biography was really inspiring!!
Holyfield loves his mama very much 😂 Edit 😔: For all the people that don’t follow Holyfield and boxing, the joke is that he talks about what his mama says in almost every interview.
Truly a legend of all-time in boxing history, a real sportsman with Principe which is hard to find anywhere in the world, never trash talks and never ever takes his opponent for granted, he TALKS only in the ring with his fists but no hate. He respects his mother and his family, this Principe shows who is more human.
I wasn't shocked! I figured he was going to beat Tyson. He had the perfect fights to get him ready for Tyson plus he had the heart, he wasn't intimidated at all.
The fitness of these boxers in their 50s is incredible. A sign of the times when former athletes these days can stay in such great shape, compared to 30 years ago when most ex-pros were physically broken down (and financially bankrupt in most cases).
Not his house. He doesn't have much money. He's even on a show trying to help him sell his BRAND. too many people screwed him out of money. Just like Tyson
@@frankieduncan3253 i don't know about that. In one video he admitted the life style was to expensive. He sold his mansion to Rick Ross. Same happened with Ali and foreman. Expensive life style
Robert Lane 5 if u count the later unrecognized WBF title plus got robbed on three decisions late in his career vs European fighters valuev ruiz3 and I believe the other was ibragimov
Not just one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, but one of the greatest fighters at any weight of all time; a true pound for pound great, and glad to see that he appears to have retained all of his mental faculties too - enjoyed the upload. Thanks.
@Malik Kai I wouldn’t say better I’d only say that if he beat Tyson in his actual prime like Douglas but he definitely was highly skilled and IMO one of the most underrated heavyweights for how technical he was
For your information. Holyfield was a LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT...When Mike was Knocking out Grown MEN........They GROOMED HOLYFIELD TO BE A HEAVYWEIGHT WHILE THEY ICED TYSON FOR 3YRS ALSO TAKING AWAY HIS AGGRESSION.... They learned how a fighter LOSES STEPS FROM INACTIVITY WHEN THEY KEPT MUHAMMED ALI FROM BOXING OVER THE DRAFT. AND MAYWEATHER DID THE SAME THING TO PAC-MAN. WAITING 5YRS AFTER HIS SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT HIM...
@@mikenyce539 using caps lock for arguments, gives me idea your probably 14 yrs old kid, who gets bullied at school. Saw one or two documentaries and thinks he know something.
@The Ghost Didn't Oliver McCall. Check Lennox Chin earlier in his career. Lennox didn't want Tyson when he still had head movement.... Even when they did fight Emmanuel Stewart had to curse him out, to make him go for the KO because ES knew Tyson's will, was broken.... Frustrated with the Jab... Lennox was still worried about getting caught with One Punch....
How satisfying is to listen a person with such a good spirit. Holyfield is such a good man. I had the honor to shake his hand at a Boxing gym at Las Vegas back in 1995 when he was getting ready to fight Bg Daddy Bowe.
I met Evander at the Riverchase Galleria Mall in Hoover Alabama where I owned some businesses......he was in town to be on the sidelines for his brothers football game....he was walking around the mall and of course I recognized him ( he was staying at the Winfrey Hotel attached to the mall ) ....I went up to him and introduced myself, asked him as many questions as time would allow.....but the funny thing, he couldn’t find his way back to the hotel, asked me if I would walk with him.....he was the consummate gentleman and was generous enough to give me his autograph......people in the mall that knew me could not believe their eyes.....it was one of those once in a lifetime opportunity for me.....thank you Evander.
Mike tysons is a heavyweight champion fit to stand alongside Dempsey, Tunney, Louis, Marciano, and Ali. peoples champ . as a entertainer in boxing . thoses hundreds of great boxers but the public refuses to acknowledge their names as much mikes name gets mentioned . i thin its to do with the life struggle and how he he turned himself around .a true survivor
Tyson is an all time great. Speed and power combo never seen before is since. Defense par excellence. I agree aspects of his life turned off many critics. But remember, he was 21 years old, the most recognizable face on the planet for a few years, all the money in the world he had never seen and yet absolutely NO supervision. After Cus Damato died he was raw meat in the midst of wolves. If any of us were in the same situation we would have made awful decisions too. Landed him in prison. I think he would have been better longer if his life didnt go to shambles. It showed vs. Douglas came to a head vs. Holyfield
I’m a huge Tyson fan but it could be argued that he is overrated. He lost his biggest fights (although they were post conviction). His two biggest fights prior to going to jail were Trevor Berbick and Spinks both aging fighters.
Mike Tyson was his own worst enemy and he deteriorated when Cus dies but he lost control when he fired Rooney and married that Psychotic lunatic Robing Givens. If He fought Holyfield before that mess he would have destroyed him. there was nobody left to harness Tyson's energy, In my opinion there was never and never will be a better all around heavyweight boxer than Mike Tyson
Only Tyson Haters will disagree with you. I made this comment, which many people overlook - Have Holyfield spend 3 years in prison for a bullshit crime which never happened. It takes a lot out of you. I want to see any boxer who does 3 years time for a crime which he never did and comes back like Tyson did. A true competitor will acknowledge this.
One of the most skillful boxers I ever seen. Just like he said. Holyfield is truly one of the best of all times. I craved Holyfield and tyson fights. And when those 2 left the boxing game, boxing wasn't as exciting to me anymore. I respect Holyfield because he became good friends with a guy tht bit a chunk out of him. And tht jus comes to show how good of a man he is. They dnt make em like him anymore. God bless u Evander. Your definitely the Real Deal
Holyfield was having issues in the second fight and quickly went to the head butting. Tyson was ready that time around and Holyfield got desperate. The Roids and Headbutting moved Holyfield down a few spots.
Let them always underestimate you. When they're lying on theirs backs looking up at you, you can smile down on them with a devilish smirk in satisfaction. Love how humble yet ferocious when he needs to be.
Y’all preaching like he fought in his primes , it’s the same for any great fighter get at them at there primes not when there wash up and have many problems , Holyfield was good not great never liked bruh he’s was over hyped. POINT BLANK .
I have a lot of respect for Tyson’s talent. But everyone always says if he fought such and such boxer while he was in his prime. Who did he beat when he was in his prime that was as good as Holyfield, Lennox, etc? He beat a lot of nobody’s, but not a lot of household names.
Buster Douglas didn’t beat ‘Mike’ with an Uppercut, it was a succession of straight punches in a row. “I got $100,000 CASH that ‘Mike Tyson’ knocks you clean out today.
Learn to listen internet detective genius who always has to prove someone "wrong" . He said "He tried to HIT ME with the same uppercut HE HIT TYSON WITH", @ 3:10 he didn't say he beat him with the upper.
Tyson lucky holyfield beat him cuz his mum would ov dealt with him if he didn't lol respect to both guys an evaders mother ov course. Love to all great mothers out ther x
He be him once and the other Tyson got disqualified for biting him and if you watch dat second fight Tyson was winning the fight before he disqualified
Mike said Holyfield is one of the hardest punchers that hit him. LOL Holyfield isnt even known for being a big puncher. Obviously Evan Fields needed extra juice for Tyson after he looked kinda shot in previous fights with Bowe and Czyz
One of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time. Ring IQ was outstanding! He often times fought down to the level of competition which made may of his fights all out wars. He was a true legend!
Great quote by Tyson when he talked about people and boxing experts saying Evander was afraid and would lose badly in there first fight and Tyson cussed and piled on about what he would do to Evander but the entire time Evander never really fired back or defended himself to press or box experts which made them even more sure that Holyfield knew he would lose or end up pulling out but Tyson said he knew Evander and knew none of it was true, he knew that on the inside Evander really was as tough and fearless as Tyson was pretending to be
Holyfeild should make more video. It's great to see him doing well N LIFE.. Nothing special, just his life stories.. I found that story about his mom to be very genuine & touching...

Dude...In 1996 Tyson was still in his Prime. Wth you talking about....lolll
I have a lot of respect for Tyson’s talent. But everyone always says if he fought such and such boxer while he was in his prime. Who did he beat when he was in his prime that was as good as Holyfield, Lennox, etc? He beat a lot of nobody’s, but not a lot of household names.
I WAS RAISED THE SAME WAY, & AT 46 YEARS OF AGE I’M THANKFUL FOR THIS FACT.
Buster Douglas didn’t beat ‘Mike’ with an Uppercut, it was a succession of straight punches in a row.
“I got $100,000 CASH that ‘Mike Tyson’ knocks you clean out today.
Buster momma had just died wrong time to fight him
Donald Peters The second Rooney wasn’t with Mike anymore it was over
Learn to listen internet detective genius who always has to prove someone "wrong" . He said "He tried to HIT ME with the same uppercut HE HIT TYSON WITH", @ 3:10 he didn't say he beat him with the upper.
Spot on. Douglas broke Tyson down with his jab and finished him with crosses.
If you watch the fight Tyson actually knocked buster Douglas out you can count to 13 before buster gets up just saying
Much respect Holyfield!! I appreciate your honest on Tyson's work ethic! Two of the best to ever do it🙏
Evander looks very good and energetic! He lost that old man looking face! Tyson still has that old man looking face!
Omar Pasha He would if not for a clean shave . He's puffy from age . And fights .
You have any idea how much drugs Tyson consumed? For a guy that did that much coke, alcohol and pills he looks good.
Black don't crack. These guys just need a good long diet and some training and they'll always look young
only from the beard being gray. tyson. put a little dark and lovely. lol. on him. hes still got it. MIKE TYSON IS A BADD MAN..got a punch
when tyson shaves his beard he looks young tho
Ain't gonna hold you, him speaking on the fear of his mom,brought a tear to my eye,I roll like that.
Her name is Billie Jo Powers for all of the SIMPS out there.
You said it... simp

"My momma said...”
-Evander ”WaterBoy" Holyfield
Humble, nice man. 👍
Thought he ain't have that bag nomo shore look like it to me!
Not only was Holyfield one hell of a boxer he was also a true gentleman.
🥊✌️
Haha he said Tyson is good and couldn’t do what he did in the gym. “ I’m a skillful fighter” now let me introduce my head😂
LMAOOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man u guys are great the world enjoys you all fights
Just pull em to the side.. 😘
I bet he has a great mom. Shout out to all the real moms
With enough Steroids ordered under the name “Evan Fields”, anyone can beat Mike Tyson! 😂
Evander is the Lance Armstrong of boxing.
Absolute warrior
He took steroids to beat mike Tyson 😂😂
He bet him twice
He be him once and the other Tyson got disqualified for biting him and if you watch dat second fight Tyson was winning the fight before he disqualified
Especially if he was being trained by lee Haney for so called power ?
Bro, you must have been in diapers during that fight to say some crazy stuff like that. 😂
Mike said Holyfield is one of the hardest punchers that hit him. LOL Holyfield isnt even known for being a big puncher. Obviously Evan Fields needed extra juice for Tyson after he looked kinda shot in previous fights with Bowe and Czyz
God bless America. This is a Awesome interview. Thank you Evander for your true morals and character.
She’s hot
A D Yeahhh , and expensive makeup too .
Col. Klink so what still hot
She is beautiful
Holyfield had a signed contract to fight Tyson in 1991.Tyson backed out 3 weeks before the fight.Holyfield was never afraid of any version of Tyson.
Wat a beast of a man ! And yet so humble !
A True *Warrior* of the Boxing 🥊Profession who Loved His Mom!
What A Man! Evander, your a Class Act, 💯👊...
One of the biggest hearts in boxing and one of the greatest heavyweights.
One of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time. Ring IQ was outstanding! He often times fought down to the level of competition which made may of his fights all out wars. He was a true legend!
What a Class Act! True Warrior! Salute King!
That's why I ❤ Evander Holyfield he respects his Mom I definitely relate😀
Great quote by Tyson when he talked about people and boxing experts saying Evander was afraid and would lose badly in there first fight and Tyson cussed and piled on about what he would do to Evander but the entire time Evander never really fired back or defended himself to press or box experts which made them even more sure that Holyfield knew he would lose or end up pulling out but Tyson said he knew Evander and knew none of it was true, he knew that on the inside Evander really was as tough and fearless as Tyson was pretending to be
Holyfeild should make more video. It's great to see him doing well N LIFE.. Nothing special, just his life stories.. I found that story about his mom to be very genuine & touching...
