People can say what they want, hater gonna hate, but I see Evander as a man of his word, who's sincere and has no reason to lie. Some people are just low and they want to try and take credit away from people who are champions and have done amazing things with their life. People like me see Holyfield as an inspiration. He's proof that people are capable of great things. Hater gonna hate because, deep down, they really hate themselves for not doing anything special with their life.
this guy is the next Muhammed Ali no as skill goes but as far as wanting to continue fighting. He will end up the same too. Muhammed Ali went to Joe Frazier's funeral looking like he was having a seizure the whole time he walked. Its ridiculous why people still want to continue.
@saulhudson420 Exactly its like when people laugh at a guy bursting into tears and being reduced to an inconsolable mess, unless you have ever cared about something that much you just wont understand but the beauty is in experiencing that because not everyone does such as Endlez
to right about marciano being a bum. i fought al the boxers way past their best. an they did give him a tun of trouble. he even hit them when they were down. look at the wallcot fight.
Holy field was (and continues to be) a better fighter than tyson. both tacticly different, but holyfield far superior. as soon as he and lewis came along, Tyson was OVER
@BenWatts1 How? By cut? He was planning before the fight to get rid of both Klitschkos and Roy Jones if my memory serves me right. After he fought Vitali, he just retired without explaining anything. Everyone was waiting for the rematch, except Lewis! How the hell did he beat Vitali? He was losing the match when it was stopped due to the cut!
@janhettema58 Keep hatin just cause he did something with his life and be forever remembered as a champion. You couldn't have taken half the beatings Holyfield has taken in his career.
hmmm not sure i agree with saz on tysons opponents, but the one quality holyfield had over any boxer i have ever seen is his composure as highlighted by this video. his faith sums up his qualities. he will always remain in my eyes the best boxer i have ever seen
I love this guy and I admire him for the man he is more than even the fighter I cheered for all those years when he was at his best, but truly Evander needs to look at the footage of what happened to the late great Jerry Quarry. No one wants to see him like that in his golden years.
He was fucking PISSED OFF! Look at the video for christ sakes. He just got out of prison and all that shit they didn't let him train or anything. Tyson is shorter than Holyfield if you see the fight Holyfield is UNDER Tyson headbutting him. He's not "mentally insane" you dipshit. He's a Legend, something you'll never accomplish.
@hmwillow How ignorant for you to say that. I bet you don't know a thing about Tyson, only what you saw in a few videos and read in a few papers. This man came from the worst living conditions in the USA, he never had a father, his mother was a drug addict; he was abused, robbed from and used by so many people throughout his career who could blame him for doing what he did or saying what he said. No one, not me or you could comment on him without experiencing what he experienced. He has changed.
never see a more courageous fighter? you must of not watched much boxing. look up marvin hagler he fought EVERYONE to prove that he was the best so did ali so did bobby chacon and......they were warriors all
I like Evander - but he is fighting because HE IS BROKE!!!!!!!! He lost his house last year (30,000 square feet - and $10,000 elextric bills every month) to the repo man - it just got too expensive. PLUS - he has (I think - at last count) 4 women that have had children with him - and he supports them all (and them women like the high life!!) He has never married!!!!!
The man has had a heart attack - so Evander - it may be time to go to Vegas and start shaking hands at some Casino!!!!!!!
Yup of course, my friend is getting the ppv, I honestly have no predictions. These fights are too close for me to say anything on, i just know it'll be a great match because both of them are right handed, so there's going to be alot of exchanges.
lol nice picture, Evander just looks too cool, especially inside the ring he looks like a God! In his Cruiser days, he would float and bounce around the ring like Ali, it would of been sick if he learned to Rope-A-Dope when he was Tired, during the HW years, he just seems like he could of perfected it. By the way i subscribed.
that's awesome ur so lucky! Evander and Gatti were the first 2 Pro Boxers i saw, my goal ever since i saw them was to meet both of them, but now i can only meet 1 :( where did u get the chance to talk to Holyfield at? I think i'd have alot more questions for Tyson tho hahaha, I'd just tell Holyfield he is defaintly the greatest heavyweight next to Ali
Why didn't Mike Tyson, or Lennox Lewis, immediatly challenge Holyfield after he beat Douglas?? (rhetorical question) because Evander HolyField was the greatest heavyweight of our generation, his first challenger was the almost 260 pound beast George Foreman, and Holyfield impressively wins, and Foreman impressively fought, I think that sent chills down the heavyweight division, when they saw the heart of Evander finnally, he cannot be disputed he is G.O.A.T #1 Muhammad Ali #2 Evander Holyfield
I never liked Holme's attitude, he didn't have the character Holyfield had. Holmes said Rocky Marciano was a bum, right as he was 48-0 or 49-0 about to beat his record, then he apologized to the Marciano family right after he lost that fight lol.
hahaha, good to know. I saw him bitching about getting his arm stuck in the ropes on ESPN, but I didn't think it extended that far. People give him credit, but he just want's too much... It's a good thing he got his arm stuck in the ropes, Mike would of saved his energy for the 8th, and 10th. Holmes was on Ali's hit list, a KO/TKO was going to happen.
@FloweySkillz Marciano is a massivley overrated fighter. He beat an old man Jersey Joe Walcott, after being beaten for the entire fight the referee said he could have one more round until he stopped it, then Rocky got in a lucky shot. Everyone of his major fights were with boxers way way way past their prime; Charles, Walcott, Louis, Moore. Heck! Archie Moore dropped Marciano in the FIRST ROUND and Moore was 42 years old and was a light-heavy at the time. A lot of heart, but very overrated.
@FloweySkillz Think of it this way. After spending 7 years or so as Ali's sparring partner, wouldn't you be arrogant? LOL
I have to give it to Holmes. He is truly a legend and an icon in boxing. I rank him very high, in the top 5. He's fucking spectacular and you have to remember, he was older than Marciano was when he lost and he fought a much younger guy, whom he beat in the rematch (although he was robbed)...
@FloweySkillz A lot of fighters are disrespectful during their career, and then retire and find more maturity. Larry Holmes is a pillar of his community now. He owns businesses and property, he gives money away and he takes care of his family.
Same with Tyson. Tyson was RAGING when he was a young boxer, biting ears and wanting to eat children. But now? Watch interviews with him now. He's mature, non-violent, even-tempered. And he has interesting things to say, too.
@FloweySkillz Holmes wasn't polished. He did not know the first thing about being politically corrrect. A lot of modern fighters felt that Marciano was a over hyped cruiser weight who was lucky more than anything. Joe Louis was past his prime. Joe Walcott and Archie Moore both gave Marciano trouble and the heavyweight fighters of Holmes had evolved into bigger, better fighters. Holmes was Ali's former sparring partner and I'm sure Ali talked about how he would destroy Marciano.
if the klitschko's, and valuev had half the guts, the unyielding determination that evander possesses than the heavyweight division would be in a better state and would generate more interest. its true that you don't get paid overtime in the ring, the manner of the win does speak volumes. wlad's win is testement to that. kee[ on winning but does anyone care? but it would be fair to say that the americans are frustrated because they don't dominate like they used to.
liar evander's a liar his coach got done but there don't have enough proof for evander he started out as a light heavyweight look at the rematch with tyson he makes tyson look a kid in size and that the tyson who was bodybuilding of course he took steroids or whatever you call them thats how he took so much punishment steroids can hep you take more punishment than you can without them
i got nothing but love and respect for holyfield but the more he tries to justify fighting on the more he sounds like a moron to me...that's the thing about religious people they got no logic or common sense
Tyson will never fight, because he never kept himself in condition like holyfield did
Also I think holyfield is a brave guy by the way he speaks. I still didnt much like the holyfield tyson fights back in the day, holyfield fought really dirty with the head butting in both fights Tyson went over the top with his reaction and that was that
If they ever had a rematch it wouldnt prove anything, even when they fought all those years ago . tyson was already out of his prime and lost his hunger
@Arcticclaws A true warrior doesn't need to headbutt and hit another man in the testicles to win a fight, unless the definition of warrior and coward have been reversed, than Holyfield is nothing but a bitch.
@Arcticclaws I am a boxer myself and appreciate all of the boxers, but I never liked holyfield's style.
One thing however that I am pretty sure about is that only a handfull of boxers or any other fighters would continue to fight after their ears getting bitten off. shit nowadays those pussies cant wait to fake it when they get slightly headbutted
@Arcticclaws Yep, I haven't seen a fighter low blow, head butt and elbow a fighter like Evander.
Oh yeah, let's not forget all the illegitimate kids and the missed child support payments also known as the reason he's still boxing in his late 40's.
@rrtodd95 then you havent seen tyson fight. Many fighters complained about him elbowing and butting. If mike was the baddest man on the planet he should have butted and elbowed him back instead of moaning like a little bitch to the referee. Holyfield was much tougher pyschologically than tyson who could not take pain. he just loved the quick 1 round knockouts of mediocre opponents. holyfield on the other hand loved to go to war.
war? so you think if it takes a long time to finish, its a war and if doesnt take long then its not a war? what type of childish thinking is that? lol..
@saznrai as far as i am concerned mike tyson didnt have many real fights- his were quick one round ko s of crap opponents. holyfield was the one who had engaged in real blood and guts fights
@chaka943 whats the point of fighting for a long time when you can finish it quickly? If you cant finish it quickly then the fight gets long, isnt it?
@saznrai thats true but every thing has an up side and down side.quick wins dont lead to the development of fighting stamina and conditioning. If tyson had fought anyone else the night he fought holyfield he would have knocked them out or battered them. He was not prepared for a man with the conditioning or mentality of holyfield
@rrtodd95 and so what if he pays for missed child support? i think that is admireable and none of your god damn business. May be your upset because your dad disowned you and you grew up on the projects LOL
potentially a huge pay day which is why holy wants it, but tyson knows this would be suicide 4 him. holy has stayed healthy, tyson hasn't and, at this age, it's all heart. aain, fail tyson. as 4 the speculation re drugs. u think holy is the only fighter 2 do drugs??? naive.
holyfield used to fight at crusier when it was a 190lbs limit, he would like every other boxer outside the heavys have to dry out to make weight, his natrual weight was 195, he went to heavy in his prime and fought at 204, 205.. he gained 10lbs which isnt impossibe without drugs, later on when he got into his 30's and a 30 something thichkness set in he slowly gained another 8 to 10lbs, this has happened to many soccer players, once they hit 30 they gain a bit and lose speed and movement
ive a lot of respect for this guy like he's trying to be a decent person and when everyone is telling him to quit, he does what he thinks best but he is risking his health fighting on but its up to him.
no boxer as experienced and had faced the type of battles as holyfield, escapes brain damage. call it an occupational hazard. btw, he was lying his ass off about his use of drugs. funny, evander can talk at length about wrong and right but the interviewer mentions drugs in sport and he couldn't be briefer.
Oh my god, boxing can be so cruel. This man's faculties are obiouvsly deteriorated and won't get any better in the years to come. This is tragedy. I love boxing, I'm an amateur kickboxer and stuff but I can't help but really fringe when i see these interviews. Think about Whitaker, Bowe, Taylor. They are wasted. And the saddest thing is that the most brave and courageus ones are those who will suffer the worst damages...
Comparing the condition of Whitaker and even Bowe to the condition of Meldrick Taylor is a bit off. Pernell can speak well and move well, hell he just was in the average joe beating up people... Bowe has a slight slur, and Taylor is almost completely incomprehensible.
Evander it's very sad for me to see you loose to James Toney>!Back 10 years ago a bum like toney would have no buisness in the same ring as evander...tony is quick to be arrogant because he never went through the wars evander or tyson did except when he got his ass beat by Roy Jones JR.! Good lick James Toney you BUM!!
Ok Evander even contradicts himself...he was always lean,ripped and a tremendose athelte but 185 to 218 with absolutely NO Fat after the age of thirty is kind of weird? Tyson was always 220, forman was always big. Holyfeilds my boy but I smell Balco and know way foreman and tyson were into that!
I really like holeyeild bur B.S I'm still not convinced how a 185 28 year old cruserweight moves up to 218 without an ounce of fat!? I'm not pro tyson or riddick bow but he took that shit to compete with the big boys! even tyson at the age of 12 was 195 (Bigger than Frazier but never took any of that shit!)
He didnt move up to 218. He fought most of his Heavyweight fights between 205 and 208. Its not hard to move up 15-20 pounds when you follow the right fitness program and Evander has always had the best fitness pgrm in the world. Remember that muscle is heavier than fat. Bulking up in stregnth will make up heavier alot faster than will eating to gain fat. Plus Evander is not a small guy(6'2). Just because the man dedicated himself 150% thru his career shldnt mean we penalize his success&sacrifice
It's the money Holyfield wants. He lives like a king and wants to keep it that way. His prime has passed him and the steroids won't compensate for age.
What a lovely man, kind calm accepting, determined and a huge heart, im the biggest tyson fan (for his ability) but on the day i'll be routing both of them on, and frankly I kinda want holyfield to win as he beat tyson twice and I feel it would be shit for him to be rememberd for loosing to tyson the third time.
You mean his "speech"? How many licks have you taken? Fact of the matter is, Holyfield's speech is fine. I understood every word. And if you knew anything about the man, you would know that he's always talked that way, dating all the way back to the olympics. You dont have to be the most articulate person in the world to prove that your not punch drunk.

A lot of modern fighters felt that Marciano was a over hyped cruiser weight who was lucky more than anything. Joe Louis was past his prime. Joe Walcott and Archie Moore both gave Marciano trouble and the heavyweight fighters of Holmes had evolved into bigger, better fighters. Holmes was Ali's former sparring partner and I'm sure Ali talked about how he would destroy Marciano.

if the klitschko's, and valuev had half the guts, the unyielding determination that evander possesses than the heavyweight division would be in a better state and would generate more interest. its true that you don't get paid overtime in the ring, the manner of the win does speak volumes. wlad's win is testement to that. kee[ on winning but does anyone care? but it would be fair to say that the americans are frustrated because they don't dominate like they used to.

Tyson will never fight, because he never kept himself in condition like holyfield did
Also I think holyfield is a brave guy by the way he speaks. I still didnt much like the holyfield tyson fights back in the day, holyfield fought really dirty with the head butting in both fights Tyson went over the top with his reaction and that was that
If they ever had a rematch it wouldnt prove anything, even when they fought all those years ago . tyson was already out of his prime and lost his hunger

I like Evander Holyfield. A true warrior in many senses of the word- it's a pity today's champs don't have his abilities and qualities.
Never seen a more courageous warrior in the ring than him.

@Arcticclaws A true warrior doesn't need to headbutt and hit another man in the testicles to win a fight, unless the definition of warrior and coward have been reversed, than Holyfield is nothing but a bitch.

@Arcticclaws I am a boxer myself and appreciate all of the boxers, but I never liked holyfield's style.
One thing however that I am pretty sure about is that only a handfull of boxers or any other fighters would continue to fight after their ears getting bitten off. shit nowadays those pussies cant wait to fake it when they get slightly headbutted
JohnAntonyFortune 11 months ago
@Arcticclaws Yep, I haven't seen a fighter low blow, head butt and elbow a fighter like Evander.
Oh yeah, let's not forget all the illegitimate kids and the missed child support payments also known as the reason he's still boxing in his late 40's.
rrtodd95 8 months ago
@rrtodd95 then you havent seen tyson fight. Many fighters complained about him elbowing and butting. If mike was the baddest man on the planet he should have butted and elbowed him back instead of moaning like a little bitch to the referee. Holyfield was much tougher pyschologically than tyson who could not take pain. he just loved the quick 1 round knockouts of mediocre opponents. holyfield on the other hand loved to go to war.

@chaka943 2 wrong doesnt make it right.....
plus its not right..
war? so you think if it takes a long time to finish, its a war and if doesnt take long then its not a war? what type of childish thinking is that? lol..

@saznrai as far as i am concerned mike tyson didnt have many real fights- his were quick one round ko s of crap opponents. holyfield was the one who had engaged in real blood and guts fights
chaka943 7 months ago
@chaka943 whats the point of fighting for a long time when you can finish it quickly? If you cant finish it quickly then the fight gets long, isnt it?
saznrai 7 months ago
@saznrai thats true but every thing has an up side and down side.quick wins dont lead to the development of fighting stamina and conditioning. If tyson had fought anyone else the night he fought holyfield he would have knocked them out or battered them. He was not prepared for a man with the conditioning or mentality of holyfield
chaka943 7 months ago
@rrtodd95 and so what if he pays for missed child support? i think that is admireable and none of your god damn business. May be your upset because your dad disowned you and you grew up on the projects LOL

potentially a huge pay day which is why holy wants it, but tyson knows this would be suicide 4 him. holy has stayed healthy, tyson hasn't and, at this age, it's all heart. aain, fail tyson. as 4 the speculation re drugs. u think holy is the only fighter 2 do drugs??? naive.

holyfield used to fight at crusier when it was a 190lbs limit, he would like every other boxer outside the heavys have to dry out to make weight, his natrual weight was 195, he went to heavy in his prime and fought at 204, 205.. he gained 10lbs which isnt impossibe without drugs, later on when he got into his 30's and a 30 something thichkness set in he slowly gained another 8 to 10lbs, this has happened to many soccer players, once they hit 30 they gain a bit and lose speed and movement

stewartdav777 3 years ago 3
no boxer as experienced and had faced the type of battles as holyfield, escapes brain damage. call it an occupational hazard. btw, he was lying his ass off about his use of drugs. funny, evander can talk at length about wrong and right but the interviewer mentions drugs in sport and he couldn't be briefer.
aappty 3 years ago
Oh my god, boxing can be so cruel. This man's faculties are obiouvsly deteriorated and won't get any better in the years to come. This is tragedy. I love boxing, I'm an amateur kickboxer and stuff but I can't help but really fringe when i see these interviews. Think about Whitaker, Bowe, Taylor. They are wasted. And the saddest thing is that the most brave and courageus ones are those who will suffer the worst damages...
ElephantRage 3 years ago
Comparing the condition of Whitaker and even Bowe to the condition of Meldrick Taylor is a bit off. Pernell can speak well and move well, hell he just was in the average joe beating up people... Bowe has a slight slur, and Taylor is almost completely incomprehensible.

Evander it's very sad for me to see you loose to James Toney>!Back 10 years ago a bum like toney would have no buisness in the same ring as evander...tony is quick to be arrogant because he never went through the wars evander or tyson did except when he got his ass beat by Roy Jones JR.! Good lick James Toney you BUM!!
andrew587658 4 years ago
Ok Evander even contradicts himself...he was always lean,ripped and a tremendose athelte but 185 to 218 with absolutely NO Fat after the age of thirty is kind of weird? Tyson was always 220, forman was always big. Holyfeilds my boy but I smell Balco and know way foreman and tyson were into that!
andrew587658 4 years ago
I really like holeyeild bur B.S I'm still not convinced how a 185 28 year old cruserweight moves up to 218 without an ounce of fat!? I'm not pro tyson or riddick bow but he took that shit to compete with the big boys! even tyson at the age of 12 was 195 (Bigger than Frazier but never took any of that shit!)
andrew587658 4 years ago
He didnt move up to 218. He fought most of his Heavyweight fights between 205 and 208. Its not hard to move up 15-20 pounds when you follow the right fitness program and Evander has always had the best fitness pgrm in the world. Remember that muscle is heavier than fat. Bulking up in stregnth will make up heavier alot faster than will eating to gain fat. Plus Evander is not a small guy(6'2). Just because the man dedicated himself 150% thru his career shldnt mean we penalize his success&sacrifice

It's the money Holyfield wants. He lives like a king and wants to keep it that way. His prime has passed him and the steroids won't compensate for age.
ckym255 4 years ago
What a lovely man, kind calm accepting, determined and a huge heart, im the biggest tyson fan (for his ability) but on the day i'll be routing both of them on, and frankly I kinda want holyfield to win as he beat tyson twice and I feel it would be shit for him to be rememberd for loosing to tyson the third time.

You mean his "speech"? How many licks have you taken? Fact of the matter is, Holyfield's speech is fine. I understood every word. And if you knew anything about the man, you would know that he's always talked that way, dating all the way back to the olympics. You dont have to be the most articulate person in the world to prove that your not punch drunk.
