They don't make boxers like Evander Holyfield anymore. Holyfield v Bowe 1 and the first Qawi fight just shows how good the fighters were just 20 years back. Evander Holyfield, one of the best yet.
One of my all time favorites people forget how nice a guy Evander was. He never said a bad word about anyone.Never talked trash and always showed respect to people no matter who they was.I remember finding it odd he would always praise fighters that beat him and NEVER make excuses for himself.Would come back stronger next time and win! Fans loved him win or loose because we knew he would always give it his all.A true technician that could dominate larger guys in close. He was the Real Deal
One of the all time greats. Honestly, i don't know if there's a fighter OTHER than Muhammad Ali who was involved in MORE great fights than Holyfield. The best way to judge a fighter's greatness is the competition he faced, NOT his overall record. It seemed like ALL of Holyfield's fights were WARS.
here is a ring legend fighting well beyond prime, in fact still fighting more than 14 years after this was filmed. what a warrior an all time great for sure
He also had a very good jab , that's the key to beat a Tyson type fighter . Tyson said it himself and also said he knew Evander could beat him , he said he could'nt punk him .
Seriously To this day may fans refuse to accept Tysons losses.Claiming the head butt was the reason.It was the product of two guys ducking going in on each other.Tyson was used to people going backwards and being afraid.People forget how technical Evander was for a big guy "one" of the best. IMO they could have fought 10 times and the result would have been the same.He just had Tysons ticket and Tyson couldn't adapt.
Holyfield would have been looked at a differently if he wasn't the humble person that he is. In professional boxing egos run high and Holyfield always kept his in check. His personal life may have been in shambles but he acted like a professional.
to fadethetrade. you are in dreamland.. it doesnt matter how mike tyson of 1988 would do on a said day. it was 1997 and he showed up and lost not once but twice to a career cruiserweight. evander was only 165-175 for alot of his career & prime. he beat mike with his brain.
Evander Holyfield is the real boxer with amazing stamina. To Tyson's fans, Holyfield destroyed Tyson not just once but twice. Losers come up with all kinds of excuses such as head butting. Don't tell me that Tyson never head buts. He's actually very good at it. I'm 100% sure that Riddick Bowe would have destroyed Tyson.
I respect evander holyfield . from going from a cruiser weight. to a heavyweight. especially being champion at every weight class. not afaid to box anybody. except Ali. nobody worked harder than he did.
evander the most exciting fighter of his generation.... and i'd hate to hurt the feelings of all you tyson fans.... but if they had met at their peaks, evander would have still given mike an almighty whooping.
You forgot!!! Tyson was rocked in the first. rooney, his old trainer watched it from his home and said bruno should have stopped mike in that first round!! He also said tyson made "a hundred mistakes".
Tyson even admitted he was a beaten desperate man. He didnt bite cuz of headbutts head butts happen all the time.. unintentional it was due to the height diffrence Tyson fought low. hands up so when tyson came in close top of his head was chin level with holyfield.....tyson initiated the clinches....therefore causing the headbutt so if tyson was tired of headbutts stop rushing inside. Its a desperate man with a last ditch effort to at least cause holyfield pain..
also evander is 50 and still fights. he has taken on 7ft -300lb+ russian and was competitive and IMO was robbed on cards. tyson was considered a shot fighter by 23. till this very day. the 2 men get in the ring and Evander would still give the same results. his resume and record show he was real deal not mike. look mike gets KO from lennox and buster. and evander draws with lennox and KOs buster.
Brilliant warrior with a heart the size of an elephant, but as for being a man of god, he took the lords name in vain many times over, just like many so called men of god. Just be good to others and live good and you cant go wrong.
What all those fights are you talking about, He struggled with brun, lost to douglas,looked like an idiot koing tillman and stewart and struggled twice with ruddock when he shouldnt have struggled, allowed mcneeley to throw shots all over him in their first round, looked off balance vs bustoer mathis jr, a guy I could have beaten!! Tyson was finished after the spins fight.
Believe me, kevin rooney said tyson vs bruno in their first fight in 89, didnt look the same already.Damato told tyson that his best asset could be his biggest downfall.
Remember 'Evander Holyfield Boxing' on Megadrive, One Dimensional, stiff controls, no style. uninteresting to watch, headbutts, elbows, a boring slugfest....... Well Done SEGA, just like the Real Thing !!
any remotely in shape tyson. with any decent mindset would destory buster. look as busters career after that...if he was legitly better then tyson as a whole. that woulda springboard him. but it's clear to me he beat a shell of tyson and yea it put him on cloud 9...did buster ever defeat another top 5 fighter...im not sure but i doubt it
I know. Its fucked. Holyfield was a great fighter and has balls the size of watermelons, but half of his wins should be called into question due to his butting.
AGreed,however, tyson lost his techniques of movement and combination shots double lefts/rights all the things damato taught him, after 1988, not after jail. After jail, he was even worse then after 1988.Look at his fights with bruno, douglas and ruddock. Those three should have been simple wins for the classic tyson but he struggled in all of them and lost one of them.Bruno shoudl have nbeen easier then bonecrusher smith and douglas shoudlnt have been anything worse the tillis and tucker
Yeah and francois botha figured him out as well before the lucky shot. So in your dumb mind, botha would have fdone the same thing to the tyson who fought in 1988 when being compared to ali already before his 22nd birthday. Yeah sure.
all about matchups holyfield was a bad matchup for tyson. as was lennox lewis Tyson could not get inside on either without getting pelted. so he bit evander because he literally had barley touched him...and tyson never experience just being outclassed. buster douglas fight tyson woulda never lost if he gave a damn...cus was gone he was outta shape and that title meant jack shit to him nemore....buster douglas got lucky as fuck
you need to change what you're smoking, In the first bruno fight, rooney was home watching it on TV BRO! He already fired rooney and lott and left the rooney camp right after the spinks fight, bruno was a bad fight for tyson, DOuglas would beat the same tyson that faced bruno in 1989.You need to get your years in order.
mike tyson lost that fight through not trainin or giving a fuck/ it was all for cash. tysons heart was not in that fight...and if u happen to b n mma fan. anderson silva loss to weidman showed the same thing...if u think hey ima show up destory this dude outta shape and make bank....thats when u wake up staring at the rafters
Evander WAS a GREAT FIGHTER! Everybody (maybe not he) do know that it is long time to retire! But one thing I can never hear "I beat Mike Tyson so easy blabla"-from fans- that is NOT right! The 1 fight was one of the best fights in the 90s! Tyson hurts Evander too sometimes VERY VERY HARD! The second fight-no commentar-this just makes writing bullshit. What I don´t like at Evander is this "I am so Christian etc" - I mean this men has 9 (?) or more children with 5 (?) or more (both gg) women!
No he would'nt , Tyson said he knew Evander could beat him . They knew each other and had been in the ring as amateurs Tyson was heavy and Evander was light heavy and put it on Mike then , not what they said but Mike said this and i like Mike but styles make fights i hope you know what that mean .
They don't make boxers like Evander Holyfield anymore. Holyfield v Bowe 1 and the first Qawi fight just shows how good the fighters were just 20 years back. Evander Holyfield, one of the best yet.

Greatest champion of the last 35 years in my opinion
No doubt, he is among the greatest fighters, pound for pound, that ever existed.
My opinion too … I Can tell you his post 8 years old and I didn’t see anything in boxing over that time would have changed his mind
here is a ring legend fighting well beyond prime, in fact still fighting more than 14 years after this was filmed. what a warrior an all time great for sure
Thank you Evander for inspiring all the time!
Holyfield is such a humble and modest man. A great champion and great fighter and believer in Christ too. Inspiration personified.
they say boxing should be outlawed..ok..then hear holyfields story..thank god for you evander ..bless you man
So true, such an inspirational man. Boxing aside Evander's mental strength and courage alone are something to behold.
Champions are made of heart not muscle.
He is def One of The greatest!!!!!
evander had everything it took to difuse tyson. he was a great counter puncher n had big heart.
He also had a very good jab , that's the key to beat a Tyson type fighter . Tyson said it himself and also said he knew Evander could beat him , he said he could'nt punk him .
4 repeat championships=no other heavyweight=THE BEST!
Totally agree with you. Simply the best. 🙏❤
Thanks for upload !:)
If I didn't love boxin' and boxin' documentaries I don't know would I've watched and listen with this particular music and the narrator behind 😅 .
🥊♥️
Hes in the top 5 heavyweights ever no doubt
Seriously

Holyfield would have been looked at a differently if he wasn't the humble person that he is. In professional boxing egos run high and Holyfield always kept his in check. His personal life may have been in shambles but he acted like a professional.

anyone know the song at 35 min
fade the trade. is it that hard to go from 175-205 in 10 years you said from 88-97 i mean its not a one year explosion
also evander is 50 and still fights. he has taken on 7ft -300lb+ russian and was competitive and IMO was robbed on cards. tyson was considered a shot fighter by 23. till this very day. the 2 men get in the ring and Evander would still give the same results. his resume and record show he was real deal not mike. look mike gets KO from lennox and buster. and evander draws with lennox and KOs buster.
I don´t see the first fight so - but ok everybody his has own mind.
Kind Regards from Vienna :)
2nd greatest boxer ever after Ali
Yo bitch
... not if you count regained titles. He has 4, more than any other heavyweight ever-know your boxing! And Tricks are for kids ...
imagine that, million's of Starving and Dying people in the world, and "god" takes time out of helping them and gives evander the victory. jeez.
Once there was a little bird....oh, never mind.
Is it only me, or could Holyfield be The Game's dad!???
He actually worked a good job aviation
Brilliant warrior with a heart the size of an elephant, but as for being a man of god, he took the lords name in vain many times over, just like many so called men of god. Just be good to others and live good and you cant go wrong.
What all those fights are you talking about, He struggled with brun, lost to douglas,looked like an idiot koing tillman and stewart and struggled twice with ruddock when he shouldnt have struggled, allowed mcneeley to throw shots all over him in their first round, looked off balance vs bustoer mathis jr, a guy I could have beaten!! Tyson was finished after the spins fight.
Its like tenpenny officer in gta san andreas
Believe me, kevin rooney said tyson vs bruno in their first fight in 89, didnt look the same already.Damato told tyson that his best asset could be his biggest downfall.
WTF! The ref WAS NOT trying to break up the fighters.
and im talking his prime fights...not that mcneeley fight that happend when he was 100..lol...and he quit that fight cuz of a fucked up leg
why this terrible music...it ruins a fine film
Remember 'Evander Holyfield Boxing' on Megadrive, One Dimensional, stiff controls, no style. uninteresting to watch, headbutts, elbows, a boring slugfest.......
Well Done SEGA, just like the Real Thing !!
Who the fuck are you ? Get the fuck outta here !
whats the fuckin song at the beggining people why its so difficult?
Actually, Tyson was 30.
Tyson in his prime=Tyson before he fought good opponents & was figured out!
alright feorge
rock newman must be really confused ,why was he dressed like an african shaman?
any remotely in shape tyson. with any decent mindset would destory buster. look as busters career after that...if he was legitly better then tyson as a whole. that woulda springboard him. but it's clear to me he beat a shell of tyson and yea it put him on cloud 9...did buster ever defeat another top 5 fighter...im not sure but i doubt it
I like him as a person but as a fighter... He's a butter.. and he elbows George Foreman like 5 or 6 times in the clip from 2:19 - 2:27.
Evenn in the Dokes fight, did u see the flying butt her gave Dokes after the punch? Tyson was right to bite this cheating piece of shit 'christian'.
AMEN to that my brother.The referees are seriously blind not to notice how often he actually does dirty moves like that
I know. Its fucked. Holyfield was a great fighter and has balls the size of watermelons, but half of his wins should be called into question due to his butting.
zaytony It's not just that... If you look closley he's thrown a fairly decent amount of sneaky elbows throught his career too.
Yeah thats true. Thats the thing, he was very very sneaky. He didnt outwardly foul like other fighters.
AGreed,however, tyson lost his techniques of movement and combination shots double lefts/rights all the things damato taught him, after 1988, not after jail. After jail, he was even worse then after 1988.Look at his fights with bruno, douglas and ruddock.

+1
@HotMusa1 hahahahahaha
Ali >
Even the declined tyson of 1991 would have run thru douglas in a rematch like crap thru a goose.
lol....
Carlron Fisk, are you kidding me. CHange your name, have some originality.
Evander WAS a GREAT FIGHTER!
Everybody (maybe not he) do know that it is long time to retire! But one thing I can never hear "I beat Mike Tyson so easy blabla"-from fans- that is NOT right!
The 1 fight was one of the best fights in the 90s! Tyson hurts Evander too sometimes VERY VERY HARD! The second fight-no commentar-this just makes writing bullshit.
What I don´t like at Evander is this "I am so Christian etc" - I mean this men has 9 (?) or more children with 5 (?) or more (both gg) women!
Tyson woulda nailed him in his prime though.
No he would'nt , Tyson said he knew Evander could beat him . They knew each other and had been in the ring as amateurs Tyson was heavy and Evander was light heavy and put it on Mike then , not what they said but Mike said this and i like Mike but styles make fights i hope you know what that mean .
A Cus/Rooney led Tyson destroys every heavyweight whos ever lived.
