Hasn't got knockout power like some of the heavyweights or the size and reach but he sure does make up for it in ferocity determination and the will to win. What a warrior. He never ducked Lewis or tyson like bowe did. LEGEND!!
I've seen all his pro fights, this man could take a beating and never retreat, it amazes me how well he can talk and articulate his words. I respect this man more than any fighter
31:00 My soul began to cry.... 😭 🙏 Now we know the true story WHY EXACTLY Evander Holyfield won against Mike Tyson.... You can‘t beat a believer: impossible.
As a man who loves his mother more than anything on earth, i have to respect Evanders love for his mother. When people have great mothers and they do not love them, i just cant see a good person.
Holyfield is the best heavyweight ever, because he was way smaller than all his rivals, his heart is absolutely unparalleled ever! To me his face looks more brutal then tyson or anyone, what an absolute warrior
One of very few boxers that never ducked anyone. Some boxers rely on intimidation, Holyfield said he never relied on it, “what you gunner do if face someone who ain’t intimidated”. He knew how that was possible as he was the one that couldn’t be intimidated.
Kevin Berry lifting up Holyfield's glove at 19:45 was so FREAKING AWESOME ( I came close to breaking a tear, lol), and has to be an ALL-TIME moment in sportsmanship.
Hollyfield s grit and determination.....he puts you in his opponent s position..you hit him..YOUR BEST SHOT !...and he comes charging back...i gave him my best.....if he s not down...then its time to leave.....someone s about to get hurt..ME !
I'm one of the very few people who don't call Holyfield's first beat down of Tyson a "colossal upset." I was telling people back in 1990 that Holyfield could take Tyson, so it was no big surprise to me. I was never sucked into the Tyson myth like all Tyson fanboys were.
+SuperSirwanksalot Kevin Rooney was a 3rd rate bum, Apart from Mike, name me one good fighter he trained, name me one champion he trained?.. None. He got fired for being an alcoholic loser, You can have the best trainers in the world if you are fighting somebody who is better then you, your trainers can't help you. Holyfeild would of beaten Tyson at any stage in tysons career.
Liam Mccall what I'm saying is that kevin rooney 2as mikes last link to the cus d amato way,and also kept tyson out of trouble and his mind on the job,he no longer moved his head,didn't box in the ring just tried to take opponents out with one big shot,under rooney tyson was hard to hit costantly moving his head and used his jab and had a ferocious hit with both hands and you are the first person I have spoken too that thinks otherwise
Round 10 of Holyfield Bowe was the first time i really respected Holyfield, love or hate him he is a warrior. If you can watch that round/fight and not think he is a warrior, you dont appreciate the art of boxing
Holyfield is one of the best boxers of all time. If he had fought Tyson in 91 i reckon he would of rose to the challenge even then, plus Tyson had sacked Kevin Rooney by then so his decline in boxing had already begun..
@4:35 my stepson Tyrel looks 150% like Evander and just like Evander football was his first love except my stepson played defense. I put him into boxing at 8, but his Mother did not keep him into it skills i feel he needed in life
Brilliant fighter best CW ever,biggest heart of all maybe,brilliant chin add all that and his talent up with the pharmaceuticals and you've got a formidable force. Why anyone would think he wasn't juicing and using HGH is dumb
I am a holyfield fan i wouldnt even bother watching documentaries of Mike Tyson cause i am not a fan. Tyson fans though seem to have an obession when it comes Evander. Why? Is it because with Douglas and Lewis you feel you had at least reasonable excuses but with Holyfield, Tyson just plain got beat by the better fighter so you have to make up moronic shit
When he fought foreman thats when i became a Holyfield fan..and wished Tyson and Holyfield would have fought in thier primes..maybe Holyfield still would have won..idk.Tyson would have been a tougher fight back in the day imo..he beat foremans ass lol so who knows.
@@coryanthony5134 I doubt Tyson could beat Holyfield in any era...Tyson just didnt had heart to compete with him. Tyson "Prime" is biggest bullshit honestly...Prime Tyson was only prime cause he beat up bums....ffs he needed scorecads to beat bums such as Mitch Green...
@@flipflop4396 Then I guess that means Chris Byrd was better than Holyfield. And as far as Tyson fighting "bums"? Well he knocked those Bums out 5 years earlier, the same Bums that you give Holyfield credit for going the distance with. Tysons record as pro HEAVYWEIGHT is 50-6 Holyfield is 29-10. Tyson had already had 35 pro HEAVYWEIGHT wins while Holyfield had only 18 at light heavy and cruiserweight. Tyson literally fought twice as much as Holyfield and if you dont think that adds up to a grind,,,,,, you obviously know nothing about fighting,,,, or life in general.
@@chaosdweller You're right. People argue over who was better and its pointless. Peak Tyson was 85-90 With Dominating results, Usually ending in KOs. Holyfield was handed the belts that Tyson earned individually and started in 92. His 1st real test was Bowe, which he lost. Then he was in long battles, some of which were with who Tyson KO 5 years earlier, such as Larry Holmes, Alex Stewart twice, James Tillis. Holyfield was had his day and so did Tyson. Its not Tysons fault that Holyfield fought at a lower weight for his 1st 18 pro fights. However there is a video on here where an interviewer asks Holyfield if he is ready to move up and fight Tyson anf Holyfield flat out answers that "he is not ready". Tyson was far more advanced than Holyfield in those years and he had 35 pro heavyweight wins while Holyfield had only 18 at a lower weight. The timing just didn't add up.
..I never knew that Holyfield fought vs Moorer with his rotator cuff torn on his jabbing shoulder. I'm not any boxing expert, but a win by split decision should earn a challenger a rematch, not a title.
Did someone enough sweet to explain to me what's the story with his disqualification on the Olympics ? I don(t understand why, when or where is the fault there ? Thanks ...
Holyfield was maybe the best of all time. But... although he was beating Kevin Barry in the Olympics Barry was a threat and Holyfield was rightly disqualified. You have to be fair. That's boxing. Barry had frustrated Holyfield, which likely caused Holyfield to make the error that led to disqualification. Barry has gone on to become one of the top trainers in boxing, teaching and managing the likes of David Tua and Joseph Parker, further showcasing his talent.
if you were holyfield would you just have kids off one woman, the brother says its not the way they grew up , yet they never knew Dad much so who's to say there was only one DAD for all off them, ????
Just look how Holyfields body gets bigger and bigger over the years, he clearly used steroids. Tysons body never changed...Ali's body never changed, etc...
You are absolutely clueless about bodybuilding and steroids! They tested those guys continually.... it took 6 months or better for the roids to be cleared from your body to test negative. most of those guys are fighting every 3 to 6 months with testing and physicals being done every month leading up to a fight! You can lie about muscle tears but not broken bones or enhanced supplement use as this will show. There are over the counter histamines available that they cant even take because they are steroidal. Testing was done because of enhanced performance drug use by Razor Ruddick. When that broke out, they began to test all the boxers sleighted to fight.
All these fighters Lewis +Bowe +Foreman + Holyfield were the luckiest fighters ever, because if Tyson didn’t have a personal downfall & kept his previous camp together, The highlight & the single highest payday of all these people’s career would’ve been to fight & lose to Tyson. Tyson’s personal downfall left a vacuum in heavyweight boxing, which all these people benefited from, so they all should thank god every single day, because today no one would even be talking about or making documentary about them.
I love the way this guy fought throughout his career but he was a flat out cheater the entire time. He abused steroids bigtime. That's something that Tyson never did or was accused of.
JohnACorp782 htf do you know tyson raped that lying bitch. Do you know anything about the white guy she accused of raping her? Keep your stupidity to yourself.
I read online that Evander's net worth is a measly $500K because of bankruptcy and the IRS and child support taking most of his money. How pathetic is that?
Evander beat a washed up declining Tyson. He should thank the Lord he didn't have to face him pre-Don King. He'd have gotten knocked out within 4 rounds.
Based on what? Mike was fighting a lot of washed up dudes that he was supposed to beat easily. I'm not so sure he would have beaten Buster in a rematch!
Soleman92 yes you're right they didn't fight as they were in different weight classes but they did spar and by all accounts he gave Tyson something to remember

Jonny Bravo he has something better than knockout power. He had the heart of a lion.
He had the power. He put all the best on their asses!
@@jackstarr4726 that's what I'm saying
Bowe never ducked Tyson, Bowe would’ve knocked Tyson out
I've seen all his pro fights, this man could take a beating and never retreat, it amazes me how well he can talk and articulate his words. I respect this man more than any fighter
Tyson never fought Bowe, Bowe never fought Lewis, Lewis fought Tyson too late... Say what you will, Holyfield fought all 3 of them!..... Twice!
the430movie IMO Evander is the GOAT.
Tyson didn't fight bowe because they were friends.
Sounds like they're in love
Lord Sir Alan Sugar 😂 Bowe never could fight a real friend. 😂
31:00 My soul began to cry.... 😭 🙏 Now we know the true story WHY EXACTLY Evander Holyfield won against Mike Tyson.... You can‘t beat a believer: impossible.
This man doesn't get enough credit!
Yep he needs a extra paycheck and medal for boxing with a heart condition up into his 50's!!!!!!
BECAUSE HE IS A DIRTY FIGHTER!
RIZAL ALIH devil's own and steroid cheat
Mate he’s regarded by anyone who knows anything about boxing as one of the best ever
One of the greatest athletes ever, a true champion.
He took defeat on the chin and always came back fighting
one of my all time faves
A great and classy champion. Thanks.
As a man who loves his mother more than anything on earth, i have to respect Evanders love for his mother. When people have great mothers and they do not love them, i just cant see a good person.
A great boxer who rose to every challenger with heart skill and faith
Holyfield is the best heavyweight ever, because he was way smaller than all his rivals, his heart is absolutely unparalleled ever! To me his face looks more brutal then tyson or anyone, what an absolute warrior
Holy field is bigger than anyone else fighter unconditional love ❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙

He's like the HW Marvelous..never ducked anyone, workrate of the gods, great chin, class...The very definition of a fighter
My #1 heavyweight champ ever!!
Yessir
A true champ that even Tyson should bow to.
Kevin Berry lifting up Holyfield's glove at 19:45 was so FREAKING AWESOME ( I came close to breaking a tear, lol), and has to be an ALL-TIME moment in sportsmanship.
damn right brother
Hollyfield s grit and determination.....he puts you in his opponent s position..you hit him..YOUR BEST SHOT !...and he comes charging back...i gave him my best.....if he s not down...then its time to leave.....someone s about to get hurt..ME !
Holyfield he's one of the best of all times perhaps in the top 5 in my opinion and he hits with bad intentions
that was great sportsmanship from Kevin Barry
What an amazing athlete. Its telling that he eventually could look back and see losing the Olympic Gold Medal as a beer bleep on an awesome career1
Indeed holyfield is a warrior
Great champion the heart of a lion.
Holyfield = absolute beast
Man this the best boxer ever.Hands down
Greatest Morden Heavyweight at least since Ali. Warrior.
@Bobba Rockersons Yep ran from him the whole fight
RIP MISS HOLYFIELD WE WOULD ALWAYS LOVE YOU
The "Real Deal"! Fought For The "Real God"! ⛪

What about them? Or are you listing all the boxers you know. Fake ass bitch.
Dont mention weak Tyson among thoose 3

this man looks just like my son.. and my son also has a very good set of hands with him too...
which one?
Ritchie .T A Evander and my son strongly favor each other. My son name is Tyrel Whitehead you can find him on facebook in Abbeville,LA
is he a fighter???
he like's football.. I'm hoping to get some guy who box professionally to train him
Good luck my friend
Amazing he was too small for his HS football team.
Evander is one of my all time greatest.
That's because he probably didn't use steroids at that time ;-)
Respect to Holyfield...no steroids
Best heavyweights ever hands down. Not in any particular order. Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield!
Y’all can’t tell me the Reggie White commercial didn’t fuck you up 😭😭
I don't care what anyone says tyson in his prime was one of the greatest
ya cuz he used to be on cocaine
@4:35 my stepson Tyrel looks 150% like Evander and just like Evander football was his first love except my stepson played defense. I put him into boxing at 8, but his Mother did not keep him into it skills i feel he needed in life
It's called Beyond the Glory not Behind the Glory
That chilli was pretty good
Im white and i love holyfield
So? Who cares if your white?
👍
his brother looks like kendrick lamar
30:00 So Benny Hinn was able to knock him out.LOL
Add another tragedy to Holyfield life losing to Vitor Belfort in under 2 mins...
Against a 60yr old man ok

Why not bring up the Foreman fight?
4 touchdowns in one game... Al Bundy
