Facts

They were supposed to fight but he got locked up

Vlad you should've asked him about Bennie Heard

Heard broke his hand holyfield knows who he is

Facts

He was a cruiserweight champ that move up to heavyweight, like usyk. When he fought foreman the size different is crazy.

What about his first fight with Quawi when he won cruiser weight belt ?!? 15 rounds !!!!!! And lost like 12 pounds of weight in the bout ..Could you imagine today he’d clean out the HW division I don’t care how big guys like Fury are ( and I like Fury) but Evander would pressure these guys like nothing they’d ever seen they would not be able to keep up with him

@@TO-dl2gg pretty underrated chin also. He would give anyone trouble today. He fought with determination unlike almost anyone.

@@detangojet i agree 💯 and great point about his chin !

Tyson was a great fighter but not invincible. Buster Douglas proved that. No excuses for that defeat are valid.

She was his best trainer and coach

Sounds like a wonderful lady, my 9 year old has his second fight coming up on Saturday , I hope that I say the right things to motivate him like she did

Of course ur supposed to respect ur parents. That's some that isnt taught to kids these days. U must respect ur mother and father. And if u don't have one of them then u must respect still.

is that not normal??

❤She shaped his outlook and attitude.

I agree ☝️

But he got knocked out by 4

@@wrotedogWtf does that have to do with being fearless

Although I did read that after seeing what he did to Michael Dokes, Evander "avoided" a date with Donovan "Razor" Ruddock.

Not even Bowe, Tyson or Lewis.

For forcing and shaming her son to get his head bashed-in as a young boy? People as you - are completely lost. All boxers have various expressions of brain-damage. You just don't see it on television and not all boxers are overtly fucked like Muhammad Ali.

Not to mention the amount of boxers who, have been killed in and out of the ring 🩵🌿

His mom was the real gangster

@@Toppshotta4 She wasn't a gangster. She was a good mother.

Facts

He is an extremely courageous and resilient fighter; throughout his career, he has shown almost no fear. It can be said that Holyfield is one of the most fearless fighters in this sport.

That era of heavyweight boxing was crazy. George Foreman, Holyfield, Tyson,Bowe, Lewis , Razor

Agreed, I find myself going back and forth regarding Tyson/Holyfield and if Tyson never went to prison. I say Holyfield would have beat him regardless cause he was more discipline and could match Tyson’s power

@@-sdot83 He couldn’t match Tysons power, that wasn’t Holyfields game. It’s that he could absorb Tyson’s power and is one of the greatest counter punchers in boxing history. His ring iq is also severely underrated and was a very awkward fighter for a lot of people

Well said

Excuses Evan see outboxed Mike twice easily

Greatest boxing mentor? 😆 🤣 😂. . Cus was covering up Mike's sexual misdeeds just to get him to be champion. He was a bad mentor. Emmanuel steward. And Ray arcel that's the best 2 boxing mentors or coaches ever

@@RokkstxrdevonEvan Fields had a lil help..

Mike doesn't become the youngest champion, or the first to unify three major titles without Cuss D'Amato.

Yeah cause he was on steroids

@@JohnKing-jz9zb GET OFF YA KNEES AND WIPE YOUR MOUTH...😕😐😑🥱💯

​​@@JohnKing-jz9zbsteroids has nothing to do with chin. Some guys had a chin and will like him and hagler

Nobody wanted it to happen. Childhood just straight shattered.

I ear what you mean. Mike bite more than he could chew facing Holyfield. It’s ear-ritating to see Tyson go out like that. Great boxer tho

Post prison Tyson stopper. Tyson with Rooney though IDK .

No tf he wasn’t. Dude wasn’t even in his prime anymore . Yu sound stupid asf

Steroids and headbutts

💯🙏

This is true. I'm from the east side of Pennsylvania, not far from Philly, and that east coast mentality is kinda shitty. People are way too blunt and straightforward and it comes off as rude, especially to people who aren't from there. I stopped in Atlanta on my way to Miami, and that southern hospitality is very real. Same thing when I lived in south Florida. Much different attitude than NY or Philly.

The Midwest was never known for being mean😂 that’s the nicest region in the country. Followed by the West Coast. Don’t confuse what was going in South Central for the rest of the West Coast. That was white suburbia America. The South was the third nicest followed by the East Coast. Southern hated sissies from the west coast and East Coast Wops. There’s a reason the mafia had zero pull in the South. They were being murdered by BOTH Southern Blacks & whites. They were able to expand in the west coast and Midwest tho. There was way too much hostility in the South. It was a “don’t start nothing” Culture.

I didn't know that!

@@ritzkola2302yes indeed we hated them wops and them west coast punks. I finessed too many of them east coast niggas. The thing is southern hospitality is only for other southerners.

he really is

Good at head butting

Good at knocking up women for sure. 11 kids, 6 mothers. Strong

I was actually thinking the opposite.

Right if you couldn’t stop him you was in for it he had heart. He was little

Before Mike went to jail nobody beating Mike

@@unclesam1125 bro I luv Mike. You had to damn near kill Holyfield just to beat him the man was different from anyone that Mike had fought.

In those fights all I saw in Holyfield's eyes was supreme confidence. You didn't see that in other boxers who fought Tyson until he was well past his prime when he really didn't care anymore.

@@beaujac311 Holyfield was looking thru Mike no fear whatsoever.

Tyson fought Razor Ruddock and Holyfield twice.. 88-90 Tyson Holyfield is not beating him.. Nothing against Evan Fields; he didn’t win the belts at 20 like Tyson did.. Lewis and Holyfield weren’t ready at the time; unfortunately on their way up Tyson was on his way down..

He fought a washed up Tyson who didn’t care about the fight game anymore. 20-23 year old Mike would have destroyed Holyfield or Lewis.

I don't know what you were looking at. He wasn't washed and wanted to win. Holyfield the real deal was better. You know who was washed...Larry Holmes. Another thing he was saying Evander was head butting...out of his own mouth he admitted it was he who was headbutting Evander. Don't let emotion interfere with your vision.

@@ickdon7999 Holyfield and Lewis could even win the titles at 20 proves that they weren’t ready at the time.. They got ready by then Tyson was on the decline.. Lewis said he had to beat Tyson; he knew he was on the decline..

@@ickdon7999Nah prime Mike loses to both. He didn’t fight anyone remotely close to Lewis or Holyfield during the late 80s, the only guy he fought that was in his prime was Tony Tucker and he took Mike the distance. You could say Spinks too but he looked mentally defeated before the fight started lol. Prime Mike was great but he didn’t beat an elite boxer in their prime. Stylistically Lewis & Evander were bad matchups for Tyson, why you think Tyson’s team kept him away from Lewis for so long? Gotta know ya boxing son

The second flight didn't count. He won but didn't beat him....Mr head butting

Ricky Womack fought for Emmanuel Steward. A tremendous fighter who just couldn't shake his demons. Emmanuel spoke fondly of him.

Behind iron mike? Lol mike tyson was overrated af thats why all throught out the 80s he only fought old washed up scrubs and when he actually fought elite guys he struggled or lost.

He washed Tyson so bad he bit his goddamn ear off 😂 he was a better boxer than Iron Mike... especially when he utilitizes his iron head 😂

@@chrisdamon1096 exactly.

Head monster ⏸️

Dirty fighter. Classy steroids.

Absolutely right. Competing above your age as a child is paramount to developing talents in a lot of sports

@@silewis9396 I think also in life in general. Most of my friends that I hung out with from the time I was 16,I graduated high school at 16,were 5-10 years older than I was and I think that it helped me later on in life. I seen what mistakes they made and I tried not to repeat them. I made plenty of mistakes and bad moves but that’s all a part of growing up. But you have to compete against older and/or better players than yourself in order to evolve quicker. At least that’s my opinion and I think that a lot of sports coaches would agree

Boom. This is why Mike was good, but not Great.

@@skepchica Why do you say that he wasn’t great? The youngest heavyweight champion ever and he was knocking guys out in 20 seconds of the fight lol. Mike was great and when Cus died I think that a piece of Mike died also. Then when Don King got a hold of Mike he destroyed Mike and Mike was a different fighter and person after that. When Cus was alive you didn’t see Mike acting the way he did under Don King.

@@tomking7080mike never overcame losses, he was great as a frontrunner once it was a real challenge he took shortcuts or fought dirty. mike was great for what he did as the youngest world champion but you can’t put mike in the conversation with true greats

Right I think Mike was 5"10

😂😂😂😂😂

🤣

😅😅

Tyson was still physically in his prime and younger then holyfield when they fought. He was a major underdog then. He whipped his ass and was still a major underdog the second fight also. In which tyson resorted to biting the man's ear because he certainly couldn't out box him.

@@elev8torguy130 no bro Neither was in their prime when they fought

@@Deeznutz581 tyson was 30 years old. He was absolutely in his physical prime.

​@@elev8torguy130Tyson even said during the rematch press conference that if he can't beat holy field this time he couldn't never beat him

@kingcarter9546 anyone who knows anything about boxing and remembers the massive upset that fight was knows holyfield beats his ass any way he wanted to. You can make an argument that tyson never beat a great boxer except a way past his primes holmes m

If they would've fought in '89, Tyson would've crushed him... the Buster fight and the incarceration destroyed Tyson.

We giving legendary fighters credit for not being intimidated? 😂😂😂

​@KtotheG I Love Mike the Boxer. Evander probably Fought better Competition than Mike throughout their Respective Careers.

@@KtotheG Tyson couldn't beat him. Get over it

@@The_M0st_High Holyfield held him and head butted him throughout both fights... that's why he bit his ear... he got tired of the headbutts.

He is gonna bring that up forever

Holyfield himself said he beat Tyson when he was Beatable

@@johncreedon7847 I think Holyfield only says that because he's a guy with class. But in his heart he feels he would've beat Tyson at any point of his career.

@c.j.ashley4244 in 85 /86 no way holyfield would he beaten him

That’s a Fact too

It's called steroids 😂.

@@tripbless2063idk man. At point Holyfield looked like a body builder

@@tomstorm7926 don't matter unless someone has proof he was on steroids random accusations are childish what's factual is that he passed the tests and won the fights 💯

Who did tyson beat who was great or considered a hell of a boxer?

@@shyne1308 how old are you asking a question like that? It's easy to find out all the careers he ended

That is a Fact he was

@davidblackwell6914 that's mean your answer is NOBODY. He beat 1 damn champion who came out a 3 year retirement Spinks. Tyson fought nobodies

@@shyne1308 that's a false statement he fought plenty of other champions who had extensive boxing careers and were tough boxers in his prime it's way more than Spinks

He sounds like he’s laughing even when he’s not.

Big facts

Ok Kim

your boy lost (twice lol) get over it 😂

Cope 😢.

I’ve heard him say in past interviews officially that” they stopped it”

Not even top 15 let alone top 5 in his division

Overrated never beat any greats

Riiiight because steroids make you grow six inches 😂

Huh😮

Understand, that part

@@joeblack2809 I’m not talking about his height 🤣

so true..

Exactly... both he and Lennox Lewis took much pride in defeating a weakened Tyson who was past his prime when they fought.

I honestly dont know. Holyfield was never no punk none of his career and lennox lewis was always a beast and a lot of fighter avoided him. Look what lennox did to david tua? David tua was the closest thing to mike tyson, and mike and david dua have the same height and build but tua has bigger fist and ill even say a better chin, and of course mike also had a chin. As far as power david tua and mike were both dangerous. David tua was another avoided fighter who never been knocked out. Mike tyson is a legend but that doesnt mean he was 100% without doubt better than any fighter in the era. You guys need to take a look a lennox lewis and david tua records and accolades, bother those fighters were avoided by many, and they didnt have the best promotional team behind them. Mike had some tough fight but don king was also a match king. Promoters dont want to see their prize fighter lose because they lose money. There is too many variables to assume from just mike record and wins that he was the best because in boxing promotions and a lot of other stuff goes on behind closed doors. Like for instants terrance crawford would of been a bigger fighter if he started his career under mayweather. Tank davis is a star and he hold no belts and is 28 years old but just because he has skill, "which you dont need a lot of, if u have the right team" they can make you look bigger than ur accolades

@@tirellv4938 Ppl were ducking Tyson when he was in his prime.. Let's be honest, the outcome would be different had they fought Tyson in his prime

@@elliot2177 i acknowledged tyson was a legend and of course peoppe were ducking him. Im just saying in that era there were plenty of fighters he could of also fought. Ypu know lennox and holyfield sparred tyson when he was at his peak? And i heard stories back than lennox was giving tyson problems. I like tyson but im just saying from the promoters, bets being placed.etc there is a lot to lose when you have a prize fighter. Im not saying tyson wasnt capable of still being a champ, but he didnt fight the best even at that time. Tell me tyson tyson best fight against notable opponents. When i say notable people are still talking about them as being a beast in america? Old fighter past their prime dont count

Stop the excuses. Name one great heavyweight in their prime that he beat with Rooney? Name another good fighter Rooney trained?

@@rafiqwashington9126What excuses? I’m simply stating the obvious… Anyone with a brain can clearly see that Mike was a different fighter post prison. 3 1/2 years would do that to anyone. Secondly, Mike beat those that were around at the time… Is that his fault that there were no Sonny Listons or Muhammad Ali around when he was fighting? You can try to discredit him all you want, but he is STILL the youngest HW champion in the history of the sport and became undisputed champion during his run. Not to mention the last great exciting HW the world has seen. And I don’t care what you say, the guys he lost to would NOT have beaten him that easily if he didn’t lose focus. The only person to beat Mike Tyson was Mike Tyson himself. So unless you could do better than he did you should keep your mouth closed. He’s STILL one of the greats no matter your opinion.

Tyson lost to a washed up Holyfield. The man has a heart condition and was several years older than Mike. But Mike was passed his prime. Stop. Mike simply lost both fights

@@mistermay7986Thank you captain obvious… I never said he didn’t lose both fights. Lol I’m done… This conversation is pointless. Funny how people that never boxed on that level has so much to say about those that did.
