Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield (Physical Beast / Specimen) 

You da goat my boi

Still no Patrick Ewing? This is pathetic

1 day ago ayo?

Hey man, please make video about Anderson Silva

Joseph love your videos, I would love it if you could do a video on Michael the count Bisping. He's a true MMA legend and former UFC champion, and did it with one eye. Either way keep up the good content 👌

Tyson had Holyfield on his podcast Hot Boxing, it was a nice watch.

Never too late. Well said, sir.

cause most tyson fans are barely true boxing fans

@@benrobbo2902 yes, only you are a true boxing fan. The rest of us are fakes. Someone bring this guy a medal and a cookie. You have no idea why I disliked him, don't go making judgment without knowing the circumstances.

I always liked him but the only thing I disliked about him that I wish was mentioned in this video was the intentional head butting that he would do in his fights.

Wasn't afraid to headbutt or elbow or punch when they were Down either.

Very serious brain cell damages later on in life

@@jigzonyt517idiot. I can hear the whine in your voice from here. Prob a Tyson fan girl

How is that even possible holy.....

It was a misdiagnosis

Evander is a warrior

@@ComaToast1 Yep

He didnt. He had a shoulder issue and it played up in the fight, then he was over medicated for it after the fight and that caused a problem with his heart.

Bruh I was about comment that same sentiment. Couldnt have said it better myself.

He wasn’t undisputed at heavyweight ?

Never mind I take that back he was

@@AyAngelchillfoo1315 yes he was 💀💀

@@AyAngelchillfoo1315 he’s the only one to become undisputed in both divisions that’s why people want usyk to do the same

Tyson fan’s and bc people look at his record and just write him off

Try over a hunnit.

Fighters today also have one punch ko power

And are tested for peds

@@brudderstyles3479 but not no where near evander holyfields class

Guessing you didnt watch any of the Fury Wilder fights then?

I dunno why people dont talk about him in the same way they do with other greats...the guy was not really a heavyweight...yet he never ducked anyone and went to war with everyone..i dont get it? 100% legend!

@@geoffreygoodyear3746 fought EVERYONE! Beat Tyson twice, beat Holyfield, beat Buster, beat Holmes, beat Foreman, beat Bowe, beat Rahman, beat Moorer, beat Ruiz, beat Mercer, even butterbean and fought Lennox to a draw at 37 years old! Definitely one of the goats!

@@DrBeauHightower he beat Holyfield?😂. I’m sure you didn’t mean it. He’s definitely one of the greats. I remember watching his Tyson fights when I was in college and both times all our girlfriends were pissed because they had sorority events and none of us would leave the house because of the crazy fights…

@@snuglife4595 yeah man. He beat his heart condition. And I cracked his ear

@@jacobevans8422 first fight was very close. Second one, not so much. Lennox is a legend

Tyson. Tyson had the greatest technique by a heavyweight of all time

@@ballsballsballs3617not really tho, his technique was very good but not best ever, his advantage was speed, power, intimidation and impossible to predict or expect what’s coming, with very good defence on the offense

​@@etgohm8127All of these thanks to his technique. He literally had no flaw and even outjabbed opponents 15cms taller than him. 1) Tyson 2) Usyk 3) Louis 4) Holifield 5) Holmes/Ali 6) Wallcott 7) Lewis 8) Norton

​@@S.O.A_Zerohes a pocket fighter tho

​@S.O.A_Zero eh i can see the reasoning behind some of those. But not at ALLL how id rank my top 10

Your name is brilliant mate.

Foreman is top 5 greatest heavyweights for me

@@srr3097 Probably in my top 3...

Top 3 for sure

G.O.A.T for me he was champion in 2 different eras that’s a feat the nobody will ever achieve again

@@lowestcommonDenomanator True and both those eras were arguably the toughest eras in heavyweight history.

Shouldn't be considered one the greatest heavyweights all time as he had a 26-10-2 record as a heavyweight only 11 KOs which isn't anything special. Really only thing Holyfield was great at was headbutting guys when wrapping up smh just look at Hasim Rahman fight! If I was Tyson I wouldve uppercut the mofo in the nuts instead of biting his ear smh wanna fight dirty dudes gonna lose that shit lmfao

Lenin Lewis still beat his ass 2 times, so for heavyweight he wasnt that great

​@@kimobush2287so if anyone considers Mike Tyson one of the greats then holyfield beat Tyson's ass 2 times.

@@anonymous-vy8lz in his prime with the right People århundrede him he was unbeatable

@@kimobush2287 in his prime, before going to prison he got beat by buster Douglas(lost his mother 23 days before the fight), now pls don't find excuse that Mike didn't train and was partying

He would have been a great in any heavyweight era

That fight should have never happened. He had confirmed brain damage. That doctor who signed off on that fight should have their licenses removed. There's no excuse why that fight happened.

That celebration of the young boxer who knocked him out as well made me very upset. Like how can you celebrate knocking out a grandfather? Hope he got paid very well for that, I figured it was a financial thing.

I’m off too and this upload made my day haha

Hell yeah

Chasing Tyson? Yeah it's in my top 10 30 for 30's. Can't help but admire the man.

Which was better

Que viva Nicaragua 🇳🇮

Wish they would’ve fought before Tyson went to prison…

Yeah but evander outmanned Tyson...Mike was used to his opponents being overawed but holyfield made it clear that he was there to win .

@@snuglife4595 Holyfield was always just to tough for Tyson. He’d have beaten him at any stage of his career

@@barrylongstaff2816 Never. 20 year old Mike with sharp bobbing, weaving and combinations mops both him and Lennox Not to mention Holyfield is a glorified PED cheat

@@barrylongstaff2816 I feel so too Holyfield was bad match up for Tyson . I always said George foreman and the real deal style was are bad for iron Mike

Quality comment. Tyson had the ability to be the goat but wasted it. Holyfield most definitely had the best career

@@Andre-cl2qt ?

@@ronanmckenzie576 Holy field and Lennox are NOT legend nor great.

@@Andre-cl2qt why do you think that? They are legends in many peoples books, they did shit most people could or will never achieve. Yes they had some down hill battles but the fact that they came back and beat most off there opponents and are now humble guys makes them pretty close to being legends.

@@ronanmckenzie576 There is a difference between people's opinions and facts I try to only speak on facts.

I'm not sure who's more underrated: Evander Holyfield or Larry Holmes.

Ctm llevo como media hora wn en un ratito

His Fight against Bert Cooper was the same. Just are you kidding how are you standing (shades of Gatti/Ward or even later that fight with Bowe). To this day, I have never seen a HW fight that had that much action. Bowe was 6'4-5ish and Evander was 6'2 maybe 210. And they stood there and beat the ever loving shit out of each other. Say what you want about the man, but he had the heart of an absolute lion. Prime Evander was almost too much for anyone that fought (Tyson and Lewis included). The Holyfield from a few years before Tyson lost to Douglas, and to right after the first Bowe fight was almost unstoppable. Only guy that could have beat him was Bowe at that time. They were almost bred for each other style wise.

And that’s why evander can’t speak anymore.

One of the brightest of Holyfield's fights,i think

Oh You Know It Team Banchamek

It's not like he fought bums only. It's just that he and guys like Tyson in his prime were just that much better than their contemporaries A la Gretzky, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, ect. In each of their respective sports

Finally someone called it correctly no bums dominance comes from hardwork mixed with skills adjustment yes their are different levels of fighters they was not ducking no one back unless especially Mike sadly to me he is so disrespected as a skilled boxer he got reckless cause it outside of the ring behavior no accountability with his handlers plus the Drugs that part

His wars against Cooper and Bowe are seriously some of the best HW fights I have ever seen.

He’s a physical specimen for sure

@@Only1Kizzlunatic

@@ascendediam Coward

@@Only1Kizz find a way to bring you're fiction 30s-40s fighters to life wacko

💯

Yeah, but Douglas was a good guy who did a lot for his local community after he retired. Douglas is the sort of guy who could maybe find a future champion. Even if he doesn't, he did the impossible on that one night.

@@Boxing4K + buster worked his butt off to beat Tyson and had the final push when his mother died

@@Boxing4K Not only does Douglas' story have absolutely nothing to do with my memories formed as a child in context to my comment you're just making it worse he came in untrained and out of shape for his first defense. So the fat bum got dropped, "and the new". He was an underachiever who got motivated exactly once against a shell of a man who had no business in a boxing ring and none of his corner had any business in the sport. He's a lucky one hit wonder with a one off sob story. Save your bleeding heart trash for someone without perspective, you ridiculous clown.

@@xzss7029 Another clown who acts like I haven't learned anything more about the story since I was a child. My god you people are tedious. People like you need to start assuming EVERYONE else is smarter than you because it's highly likely they are. No perspective. No comprehension. Just a knee jerk desire to make everyone else think the way you think. Stop being the way you are it's sad.

@@xzss7029 But At Least He Won The Heavyweight Championships From Tyson.

He’s better then HBO, Showtime, ESPN, etc…Joe Vincent is the G.O,A.T.

this is reallly the shiit

I guess you’ve never seen prime bowe, Tyson, hearns, hagler, etc.

Holyfield is a natural cruiser weight moving up to fight legitimate heavyweights!

Damn, that's a true story... I personally think it was just meant to be like that and Big George had that XP and D

The Era with Liston Ali Foreman Frazier was the best Those men were the real deal After that only a handful came close to them but I still believe these men were still the best And just how style oriented they were It's like a anime George - Big Bad Puncher was weak to Ali's fast hitting Footwork beast

Evander probably would have done better. Young George was athletic but not smart. Old Foreman was smart and not athletic. I also don't think either Foreman could keep up with Evander's pace while I don't think Evander could knock out either Foreman.

Young George wasn’t a terminator his stamina was poor.

You're one of a few comments saying the same thing, I too have had a bad few days..we were drawn here for some reason

And The Duke no less!

No

@@tonybleau6219 No? You don't find it odd that Tyson, who is 4 years younger than Holyfield, was fighting an unknown James Douglas prior to his rape conviction, instead of the #1 challenger at the time in Evander? In fact, Holyfield was interviewed immediately after Tyson destroyed Michael Spinks in 1988, with reporters asking him about his desire to fight Tyson, yet somehow the two wouldn't meet in the ring until 1996, almost a decade later. They were scheduled to fight in 1991, but Tyson pulled out of the bout due to an alleged rib cartilage injury. By the time the fight actually took place, Tyson's camp was confident that the now 34-year-old Holyfield was washed up and a shell of his former self, and so Tyson prepared to fight his first real opponent since his TKO of Spinks. No offense to guys like Razor Ruddock and Frank Bruno, but Tyson spent the best part of his career fighting boxers that have no real legacy in the sport, while Holyfield fought actual contenders like Riddick Bowe 2x, Lennox Lewis 2x and Tyson 2x, resulting in 3 victories, 2 defeats and a draw. Tyson, on the other hand, was a combined 0-3 vs Holyfield and Lewis. Case closed!

Gosh damn right

Happy birthday

Happy birthday King!

Happy birthday bro
