Evander Holyfield: Hightlights

Evander Holyfield (born October 19, 1962) is a professional boxer from the United States. He is a former World Undisputed Champion in both cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions, earning him the nickname "The Real Deal". After winning the bronze medal in the Light Heavyweight division at the 1984 Summer Olympics, he debuted as a professional at the age of 21. Holyfield moved to the cruiserweight division in 1985 and won his first title the following year, when he defeated Dwight Muhammad Qawi for the WBA World Cruiserweight belt. He would then go on to defeat Ricky Parkey and Carlos De Leon to win the IBF and WBC titles, becoming the Undisputed cruiserweight champion.
Holyfield moved up to heavyweight in 1988, winning his first six fights, all by stoppage. On October 25, 1990, Holyfield knocked out heavyweight champion James "Buster" Douglas, to claim the WBC, WBA and the IBF heavyweight belts (World Undisputed heavyweight Championship). He retained the Heavyweight crown three times, which included victories over former champions George Foreman and Larry Holmes, before suffering his first professional loss to Riddick Bowe on November 13, 1992. Holyfield regained the title in a rematch one year later, beating Bowe by majority decision for the WBA and IBF titles. Holyfield later lost the titles to Michael Moorer on April 22, 1994, by Majority Decision.
Holyfield was forced to retired in 1994, only to return a year later. On November 9, 1996, he went on to defeat Mike Tyson by eleventh round technical knockout to win the WBA title, in what was named fight of the year and upset of the year for 1996 by The Ring magazine. Evander Holyfield became the first Heavyweight since Muhammad Ali to win the World title three times. Seven months later, Holyfield won the 1997 rematch against Tyson, when the latter was disqualified in round three for biting off part of Holyfield's ear. During his reign as champion, he also avenged his loss to Michael Moorer, when he stopped him in eight rounds to win the IBF belt.
In 1999, he faced Lennox Lewis in a split draw, but was defeated in a rematch eight months later. The following year, he won a unanimous decision over John Ruiz for the vacant WBA heavyweight championship, becoming the first boxer to win a version of the heavyweight title four times.[2] Holyfield would lose a rematch with Ruiz seven months later and would face him for the third time in a draw.
In 2010 Holyfield defeated Francois Botha by TKO to capture the "lightly regarded" WBF Heavyweight title.

He is ranked #77 on Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.[3] Evander Holyfield is ranked as the Greatest Cruiserweight of all time by The Boxing Scene. and is concidered one of the Greatest Heavyweights of all time by many.

IF you gave me Larry Holmes & Evander Holyfield in their Primes... they would beat ANY Fighter in Heavyweight History 8 out of 10 times! Thats why IN the ring.. Holmes & Holyfield are 1 & 2 on my list as best ever! Ignore all the "pro wrestling" gimmicks of talking well on the mic or guys who fought only hasbeens and when he finally fought someone he got his ass kicked..... Holmes & Holyfield would destroy anyother heavyweight.

Evander getting old is the reason Boxing is losing to MMA! Evander was the ONLY Heavyweight in the modern day that fought everyone, anytime! Wing, Lose or Draw he put on a show and kicked major ass! Thats why he is the PPV King! Tyson, Holyfield & Oscar are the only guys that can sell Boxing PPV's and out of those Evander & Oscar actually fought real fighters and they put on great matches!
