Brutal Fight Between Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis 

What is the song of the intro of the video?

Agreed, but I'm not sure how fighters like he and Tommy Morrison had tested never positive for anabolics

Gene Tunney and Bob Fitzsimmons. Can you imagine how those two would have embarrassed him?!

That's a great comment, Mark!

For him not to be a natural heavyweight he'd have to be fat, which he clearly isn't.

Didn’t duck anybody .... except Tyson in his prime. I say this loving Evanders game. This isn’t even a stain on his legacy, but simply he avoided Tyson until Tyson went and came out of prison

@black6turbo qeqw

True, he never let his fear in the way and was a badass till the end.

The steroid king 🤔

He took tons of steriods which is a stain on his remarkable career as a fighter. But that said, he truly was the real deal. His mentality for a fighter was as good as all those in his generation. I would have 3 altogether that were unmatched in the mental game of that era. Evander 'The Real Deal' Holyfield Lennox Lewis And BIG George Foreman. Hell, George said that in his 2nd career as a fighter he never threw a punch in anger, not once! Shit man......imagine if he did! I love all 3 of these boxers/fighters, they truly are worthy fighters for all times. As much as I regard Lennox & Evander though, George scares the living hell out of me hahahah

@@briangreen842 where is your proof

There a thousands of great heavyweights all over the world just promoters and moneys sides of boxing make it look empty and hopeless

Couldbt agree more, love or hate Don King, he could put on a show, this era saw some of the best heavyweight clashes, this being one of my favorites

@@fijianreacts6188 of

Yesss... I don’t know what they’re doing now

@@stevenbennett9756 ฝ.

Common Sense 🤣🤣

@Common Sense;and he USED it just like a wrecking-ball to pummel the opponents face!! Which is why Tyson BIT him after the 15th or 16th bash by Evander that the referee allowed to transpire,without warning,deduction of points or disqualification following a dozen pleas by Tyson to address the matter!! Feeling dizzy,hopeless and helpless,Mike took ACTION to have this craven assault stopped!!

Paul Donovan Just stop it. 😂. You fanboys are everywhere. Your man got his ass whopped. Leave it at that.

The only man to go in the ring with Tyson TWICE and Lewis TWICE and not hit the canvas ONCE!

@@SuperDetroit9 that's the same thing I said evander was a dirty fighter with those sneeky head butts Tyson had a big gash above his eye do to head butts from evander

Evander fought everyone, ducked nobody, my fav heavyweight

Dirty headbutting sob Edit: 2:42 lol surprise surprise

Ima Brit too but come on bro Lennox Lewis is the most underrated Hw after Larry Holmes..

@@user-pk6ty9yx9h I think both of them are generally to be considered top 10 fighters of all time. Hollyfield doesn't seem to get the same respect and is easily as good IMO.

Now that's realer than real deal Holyfield

@T Smith atleast he didn't hold, and lay on the man. Should of had points deducted, but hey when boxing wants a winner boxing gets a winner.

@@michaeljohnson2833 but he did head butt tyson so much he bit his ears

@@michaeljohnson2833 its good karma on holy field the guy did so many low blows m headbutts

THE TOUGHEST FIGHTER

Lennox faced all the greats of his era also expect Bowe who chickened out. And don't forget that Lewis beat Bowe as an amateur in 1988 Olympics heavyweight final

lmao facts

Sure does lol

He looks like Mike Tyson 😂

ONG😂😂😂

He's a very sweet gentleman. I got to meet him in person once.

Why would anyone hate him

@@mr4224 Tyson gay fans hate him cuz he beat their guy like a dog 😂 Even today they still make up excuses for ass whooping Tyson took... Holyfield is a badass 😎

@@flipflop4396 i'm a Tyson fans but i'm a mature, those Tyson wannabe fans don't know shit about boxing, imo holyfield won that fight clearly and he deserve to be one of the greatest of all time

His moustache is badazz.

Haha it’s just they both are really good and tough at that time so u couldn’t see them showing the effects

Holyfield would have won. Lewis was a late bloomer

@@el34glo59 Lewis was the much better boxer

@@mmaphilosophy wouldn’t say much better because loads of things determine a ‘boxer’ but he definitely had more boxing fundamentals than evander.

@@rhyanwalker94 Well "much" is a bit of a stretch yeah I agree. So I'll say, he is "wayyyyyyyy" better lol

Holyfield was ticked off at Lennox for the comment about his/Holy's philandering. They've since made up.

b/c of that asshole Don King.

Two black men

@@TheFunkhouser don king was responsible for the hype.. he knew drama would fill his pockets with $$$

They were enemies. Stop sugar coating shit.

He was a steroid cheat

@@michaeltrumph121 But steroids not takes the fear!

@@michaeltrumph121 lol he take it really much bcs he want to be a hw And when he was old he still beat the best of the best And u cant receive the reality Lol

@@issizplays2187 No they don't take away fear, but they make you stronger, give you more stamina and allow you to train harder and more often, they are definitely an advantage.

Thowwy,,,

@HELL'S HITMAN Tyson still lost to him

@HELL'S HITMAN lmao bro I just woke up lol my comprehension skills are just malfunctioning please understand

Holyfield is not underrated..

Holyfield was never underrated what are you talking about?

He was a huge celebrity in the '90s after the Tyson match. TV cameos and all.

oyeachhh....

HIS SECRET .....hgh

dudes made of granite

yeah butthead

Yea he ducked mike tysons fists with his headbutts...

oh ton of heart. great fighter. underrated

Lewis was very cautious for the first 6 rounds. After that, it was all downhill for Holyfield.

I noticed his smile at the end. That is true sportsman.

@Donald Johnson it had nothing to do with size.

Seven Times it’s more of a strategy. He always stays a step away. Only a step so he can counter quickly

Yeah. His head wasn't afraid of butting them either.

@@TheTmat007 You got that right! Glad someone else besides Tyson, and a few others see it. That's why Tyson got so pissed off in their rematch, and bit his ear. I think that was a horribly wrong way to go about it. But when the refs let Holyfield get away with this year after year, that and doing roids for years 🙄, who do you turn to? Holyfield was a natural light heavyweight, and gained weight when training. That fact was in all the media back then. Then, when he quit training, he lost weight!! There's only one way I know this can happen, and I'm surprised so many haven't commented. Imagine someone's character, being a good, young champion in his 20s, to shoot roids, then fight a 42 year old fighter like George Foreman. He's a fucking cheater, period. Too bad George and Mike weren't shooting roids to even the playing field......

😂😂😂😂😂

@@milojanis4901 lol how u know they didnt take roid? Foreman bicep was so big And then why he headbutt bcs his style using shoulder,crossguard and bumping shoulder and clinch Even if he didnt headbutt tyson he still win

u people need to use better sentences.... stop using negatives.. "he never" nooo, he is brave, courageous, smart........ simple argument, if u say something stupid like "i don't fear his punch, " then get knocked out by his punch? cuz u didn't respect it? fear it? u should fear people's strengths, be aware of them, avoid them in a fight...... "having no fear" doesn't help anyone, hell, teh guy who likes to get knocked out says taht lol

Holyfield is a BEAST!

@@AndrewBrown-yg5xv goat of headbutts

Avunu

He is a worrier

He’s great at head butting to

Heart, sure. Just not the speed, height or ability.

Heart of a champion.. Margarine hat..

As highly rated as Holyfield is (usually bottom top 10 on any list that matters), he’s underrated and mos Def underappreciated.

On peds

Tyson Fury redid that again.

Well spotted. He was trying to even up the fight!

Blink and you'll miss it! Thanks for marking it!

Dude punched himself in the face...nice!

Red Hook MMA Tyson Fury punching himself in the face is one of the funniest things ever, the sheer excitement and joy on his face followed by the sudden stunned look because he knew he just hit himself hard is amazing.

The real deal

My nephew met him at a restuarant in Tokyo about 3 yrs ago.. EH was sit down have some drinks... Class act

Yeah steroid head and head butter

@Im Your Huckleberry Neithet I am a tyson fan nor have any hate for holyfield. Infact for more than a decade, I condemned tyson for being unsportsmanlike and biting the ear. But since I started watching boxing closely and analysing the games deeply, I realized that holyfield only had two weapons. Head butts and low blows.

@Im Your Huckleberry You are mad fkn holyfield fan who licks him. Any one who sees the video with neutral mind realises that he used head butts. Check his match with rehman and other boxers. Its not one off incident to call it so. He is a habitual offender, moreover a cheater.

Like there's no bad decisions or politics in UFC

The UFC's judges have fucked up an incredible amount of fights since 2020, and plenty before that too. And I can't rightly recall the last heavyweight boxing robbery.

Bye.. Lol like the UFC doesn't have bad decisions? And for you to leave boxing at that point, with some many great fights after that is ridiculous. You missed alot. I'd rather watch masters of their craft instead of a jack of all trades. Jmo though

@@el34glo59 boxing is worse because there’s way more money involved. But ya UFC also picks who it wants as their cash cow champ and props them up artificially like rousey or mcgregor

Ufc is new wwe now lol

everyone forgets hpw hard lennox could punch and what he did to tyson with that straight shot

@@djsubliminalreeve exactly.

Evander was an amazing cruiser weight but his huge heart weighed him in as heavyweight champion.

David Tua is 2nd on my list of all time favorite.

That holy left hook @4:10...geez!!

Evander will forever be my favourite I love him so much

And one of the biggest juicers 😉

No

Lewis won that first fight, I agree with you

@Steevy Horton nothing to do with race, in the 1800s boxing wasnt even regulated so your argument is already flawed, don king is the man that most people remember simply because he screwed over and is hated by some little known guys like tyson, ali, nigel benn, gerald mcclellan and i could go on but i have already proven my point right

@Steevy Horton nobody ever said that boxing was clean before don king, and youre defending the guy, it has nothing to do with race, he created more millionaries of course he did nobody made millions in the 20s 30s 40s 50s and 60s, its just inflation in a 100 years boxers will be making billions with a single fight but a billion dollars wont mean the same as today, don king was around in a era that money worth less than earlier thats why he made a bunch of guys millionares, because there was more money in the world and boxing was becoming even more famous, gerald mcclellan needs donations just to be alive because don king got most of gerald's last purse against nigel benn wich left gerald brain damaged for life and don king not only never helped but took his money, so yes your argument is flawed.

@Steevy Horton oh fuck you if don king was white he would have the same treatment as he does, and fuck once again, just because someone is black doesnt mean i cant say what they did wrong so stop playing a victim, and you ignored most of my comment wich proves that you simply cant prove your argument.

@Steevy Horton gerals knew the risk but still don king took his purse and this isnt part of the risk and youre acting as if don king did nothing wrong just because he is black

And what about tyson... He was the smaller one in heavyweight.

@@KodiakGreg yeah but tyson never beat an elite fighter, holyfield did

@@KodiakGreg Tyson was a big heavyweight, short but big boned and big muscled, in his prime he actually outweighed the vast majority of his opponents

@@unbornbum Yes, I know but arm stretching is important in boxing so Tyson started all his games with a huge disadvantage. Fortunately, he was strong and fast. We will never see this type of heavyweight again

Sabre Tooth Larry Holmes was an elite heavyweight, I don’t care how old he was at the time of his fight with Tyson, he was still elite and healthy

He was 6’2 , 226 pounds Primarily Heavyweight but we get what your saying

Perfectly said

It's called values, virtues, and principals... A very rare thing today where it's easily said, but almost never done.

@Motor City Cobra. That's BULLSHIT!! Stop fucking Defending Headbutting Holyfield!!! Both Lennox Lewis & Holyfield ducked Prime Iron Mike Tyson!! Pussys!!!

edaneo11 number 1+let’s get this straight I don’t think Holyfield would have beat Tyson in his prime,even though in AAU when Holyfield volunteered to spare with Tyson who had knocked out all is other sparring partners Holyfield held his own,oh but you wouldn’t know that because if you knew what I knew you would know Holyfield has never been accused of ducking nobody.Tyson his self would tell you that.The reason they didn’t fight for a while was because Tyson lost to Buster Douglas, Holyfield was scheduled to fight the winner,so get your facts straight my friend,I’ve been around both men while you’ve just read about them.

His heart was big because it was enlarged from steroid and human growth hormone use.

Lol, Factz

Something people don't seem to realise that he really wasn't a genuine heavyweight and was fighting some of the best HW boxers giving away height and reach.

@@fluphybunny930 yeah i don't think people realize how much size can count in boxing, the Man had some freaky genes though, if i didn't know better i'd swear he was on the juice lol.

FluphyBunny I don’t know what you’re talking about I do believe a Vander Holyfield was around 6 foot three.

U.S.A POWER Holyfield is 186-7 cm tall, it’s been comfirmed multiple times. That’s 6’1.5 actually, not even close to 6’3 (191cm).

He was way better than Holyfield

1. ali 2. Lewis

@@ElPigeonMan wtf? Lmao Lewis clinched and that was what saved him. No real speed to dodge punches when he was in trouble. A big behemoth and nothing more

Lewis's problem was he came along in a time where the division wasnt that great, and its stars, like Holyfield, were far out of their primes. So, even then beating the likes of Holyfield just carried less weight. You are only as great as your competition, and when you look back on Lewis's competition, its mostly out of their prime guys or no one at all, so thats what hurts his legacy even if he was an amazing boxer.

Agreed. I always preferred the animalistic style of Tyson but Lewis was a boxing master.

You had a few too many blows to you're Head as well , judging by you're writing skills!

He was the biggest juicer out there

No doubt👍

No doubt👍

@@peter2recycle I could say the same for you. "You're"?? I think you mean "Your".

And even much lighter man Evander had a chin and could crack fast combos ..

Not much difference between them in terms of age at the time of this fight. Both were the best from this era, but Lennox doesn’t get the credit he deserves, he didn’t duck anyone as well, if he was an American he would be called the undisputed GOAT.

@Carlos Hernandez Momento "carnal"

Tyson...best.... exciting.... toughest

Tyson would kill lewis man

@Shaolin DonkeyPunch ....you're high AF. Lennox Lewis was a shit fighter. Tyson was THE BEST fighter. The man became heavyweight champion at 20 years of age. Neither Holyfield nor Lewis could have beat Trevor Berbick in November 1986. Holyfield needed steroids and human growth hormone in order to compete in the heavyweight division. Tyson was always smaller than his opponents yet...he was always going for the knockout. Holyfield was the toughest?! Holyfield was supposed to fight Razor Ruddock in 1991.......instead he fought old man George Foreman.

Jonny Bravo.......put down the drugs....Lewis was a shit fighter........he held and clinched....thats not championship boxing.......that's what bitches do. Lewis was bigger than all of his opponents yet he was always holding and refusing to engage.........look at the first Holyfield fight....no ring generalship.......look at the fight vs Frank Bruno.......fouling with his left glove. He was big, awkward, and unbalanced. Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman starched him with one-punch KOs....because he had ZERO chin. When Lewis got hurt....he held.....when Tyson got hurt.......he punched back. And Holyfield was the most drugged up on gear for this era.......steroids, human growth hormone.

Yeah I know, huge age gap right lol

The only difference Lennox was not an American, Lennox won both fight hands down

Lol, Holyfield was coming up the ranks when Lewis was rebuilding. Plus, with Don King, it was extremely difficult to get fights with US belt holders. I guess you never followed Lewis career closely - he fought almost every best fighter of his era. Even Larry Merchant who has a scorn for all boxers says that Lewis ducked no one. Even a peak Tyson and Holyfield can't do much against Lewis. For one, Holyfield, for all his heart and stamina, does not have the power to KO Lewis. If Vitali, a genuine superheavyweight, couldn't KO Lewis despite landing 200+ punches on Lewis, Holyfield ain't doing shit to Lewis. Ditto with peak Tyson.

Yeah but devoid

Top 30 does not make him great.

He wasn’t really that small for a heavyweight. Mike Tyson was small for a heavyweight!

@Ra HoWa who took p.e.d's

@@rubenreyes1811 he was small, remember he was light heavyweight in the amateurs and turned pro as a cruiserweight which at the time was around 190 pounds. Mike Tyson wasn't big in terms of height but he was a big guy. He was naturally big boned and usually weighed in around the 230 mark. Where as holyfield was barely over 200 pounds when he started at heavyweight. Tyson was already 200 plus from 13yrs old, the guy was a freak of nature.

Stephen B receipts

@@Panamaniax507 exactly

@@STePHeN320_12 all of them use some advantage, any way he fought against bigger guys all the time

Close but still convincingly beat

I don't see it that way. When Lewis became a contender, Mike Tyson was having "legal" issues before going to prison. When he was released, he was signed on with Don King and the Lewis camp would rather have dealt with anyone but Don King and Don King himself would rather have two fighters from his own stable fight each other because its more money for him. Admittedly, Lewis got caught out twice during his own defences of titles so that would also have been a factor. And finally, when Lewis wasn't a belt holder, he wasn't box office compared to a Holyfield/Tyson. It was best to avoid Lewis for as long as possible because the fight purse wasn't as big and there was a genuine chance that whoever was the champ could lose against him. Just my opinion. Not looking for an argument.

@@TheMeeesterT Agreed. Lewis absolutely did not avoid Tyson. It was quite the opposite actually.

Dopa Trucka WHAT!!!

Haha yes only Tyson💪🏼

You don't know boxing exists

Not once but twice. The first one was scored a drawer but Lewis should have won. Made global headlines and even the White House put out a statement lol. Second one was much closer.
