The Most Terrifying Knockout Beast from the 80's - Evander Holyfield 

We had to reupload the video because the previous one got blocked by RU-vid due to the presence of scenes with blood. Sorry if you saw it, but this one has been our favourite yet and we want to keep it rolling.

15 straight rounds? And they ended with a high pitch, no back down, no retreat, just two Gladiators going at each other💯💪🔥💥🙏🏼🥇 now that is Boxing, mad respect for them💯

This was the days of boxer and fighter in the heavy weight division. No cheap tricks. Just clean and tough boxing. Evander is a legend.

One of the greatest heavyweight champions! Gave it all in the ring. Ferocious, yet humble. Well deserving of a statue.

“he embarked on a quest to find the 5th corner”. you are the best boxing analyst of all time, your use of precise descriptive language and analogies are absolutely brilliant, you make the sport fresh again

Had the good fortune to watch Evander his entire career. One of the greatest all time and my favorite. Unbelievable skill and toughness. Big heart and courage. How could anyone not love this guy. A man's man

One of the best boxing videos I've ever seen. Such a perfect balance of story, fight footage, analysis, opponent's background and music.

Holyfield will always be one of the best faces of boxing. I watched him as a kid in the 90s and we loved cheering for the fellow southern gentleman from Georgia. He didn't play the goofy shit talking games that so many play now, he was generally composed, smiling and good natured like Foreman after 40.

Holyfield was a monster!! What a lot of folk forget is he was a natural Middleweight, he actually trained his way up to Heavyweight. He was giving away 50 to 100 natural lbs with a Middleweights chin and he still dominated. All respect to The Real Deal! Always Love You Bro!!!

My friends and I always tuned in to watch Evander. Or, just as likely, went to a bar since it was sometimes too expensive to watch at home. Still, not a dull fight ever. Every time he was hurt and we thought, no one could come back from that! He DID! Evander Holyfield is a legit Real Deal warrior!

Evander Holyfield is the dictionaries definition of a "WARRIOR" when you have a good look at Holyfield's career, you have no choice but to agree that he will forever be in the top 5 'GREATEST WARRIORS " in Boxing History, MUCH LOVE & RESPECT EVANDER, YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR MY FRIEND!!! 👍👍👍

Just watching the highlights of some of his fights has made me smile again and remember how good boxing was. How amazing was boxing. Thank you for the amazing times x

Evander always carried himself like such a gentleman untill he got into that ring . Then he was just a beast ! Fast, precise, powerfull and loaded with heart ! Love em …

Hollyfeild was an amazing fighter during an amazing time. The Bowe Hollyfeild trilogy is one of the greatest fight series of all time and I still watch all three fights to this day. Heart the size of a tank.

„Flawless distant management due to incredible footwork and sharp instinct on the inside. However, the hallmark of his style resided in the seemless execution of lenghty combinations.“

I never thought that Evander got the accolades, respect or recognition that he truly deserves, as one of the very best. I am big Mike Tyson fan, but Holyfield's boxing skill and record makes him one of the greatest in boxing history. His name does not come up enough when fans converse about the top boxers of all time. Very good video and commentary!

The fighter with the greatest heart in the history of boxing. There was no quitting with evander. He always gave his all. Respect to one of the greatest fighters who ever lived. He was indeed the real deal. Long life evander. Blessings !!

Evander you definitely were THE REAL DEAL. Thank you for everything you gave to the sport, and to us as fans. You will forever be a champion.

I respect the accompliishments of Holyfield. He was a light heavyweight compared to many boxers and still was able to retain victories over great boxers and never acted like a gangster badmouthing his oponents and maintained class throughout his career.

Evander had a great left hook, fighters never saw it coming! He was quick for a big guy.

I have the upmost respect for this man who never had to brag that he was the greatest.

Commander Evander was the best of his era. His combination of traditional boxing schooling, toughness and fearlessness was tough to beat in any ear.

What an incredible boxer. Tyson, Hollyfield, Lewis are boxing History💯

A great combination of boxing skill , tactics , speed , punching power and stamina. In fact , arguably the best in combining all of them in one fighter.

Holyfield deserved recognition as one of the greatest Heavyweights ever ..

I miss these good old days of boxing.

Real Deal Evander Holyfield !...what a legend !...he is definitely one of the greatest heavy weights in the history of boxing !...and a true gentleman too!...Respect !!

I watched all these heavyweights growing up. Evander looked to me to be the fittest. He also seemed to never give up. He is a real champion.

I grew up in the Evander years and although he wasn't my favourite boxer like Lewis or someone I cheered for like Tua he was always considered the epitome of a hard training, hard fighting heavyweight who could not be overcome without going to war!

REAL DEAL HOLYFIELD! & he had L's. People need to stop thinking someone isn't great or downplaying careers because they lost. All the great ones lose. That's what happens when you fight other greats. Give great fighters their respect

Fighters of this era were made from stone. Tough, talented and had heart for days.

He was a great fighter and Champion truly skilled and deserves his spot in the Boxing Hall of Fame

Its sad i didnt realize how illustrious his career was because of the ear thing. Incredible boxer and a seemingly stand up guy. Thanks for the education.

Without doubt one of the best boxers of all time to watch a great athlete.

One of the greatest boxers ever! A man with class and lots of heart and power! Thanks Evander!

Big hello from Ireland 🇮🇪👋. I have Always followed evander, in my opinion, he gave everything when he fought. A true warrior.

Such a wholesome soul Holyfield is. Amazing boxer.

"The Warrior" is truly an apt description of Evander Holyfield. Especially in his fight against Lennox Lewis.

He was a true champion.A boxing icon.Thanks Evander👌👍👍

His timing was perfect. I grew up watching Evander with my dad. Great memories. Thanks for the video👍

As as I'm concerned he is with out a doubt in the top 5 fights ever!!Never out of shape when he stepped in to the ring.!We miss you Warrior!!

Had no idea he was this successful. He’s never mentioned in the GOAT communities.

Hollyfield was never really considered to be a big puncher with devastating knockout power but he definitely got a few of his opponents in trouble with just one punch.. He was more known for out boxing his opponents and picking them apart round by round while taking many heavy shots himself.. Tremendous chin, tremendous heart.. They didn't call him the warrior for no reason..

I could watch this a GAZILLION times!! 2 of my favorite boxers- "REAL DEAL EVANDER HOLYFIELD" & "MARVELOUS MARVIN HAGLER!!" RIP MARVIN!

Damn.. he been doing the pull counter his his style all this time😮

Great video dude, what an athlete Holyfield was 👊

EVANDER HOLYFIELD- CLASS-ACT, POISED, PROFESSIONAL, ROCK 'EM SOCK 'EM CHAMPION!! LOVED when he showed Tyson who was BOSS!!

This is arguably the best era of boxing that produced the greatest champions that ever graced the ring!

What a fighter! Great documentary...

Evander always had his feet moving. Class act.

His fight against Michael Dokes for the WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight Championship was the best heavyweight fight of the 1980's

Yes. Undoubtedly the best. Thnx for the great video. Well done!

Evander ‘never quit’ Holyfield!💥🥊

He was the real deal alright. He was rugged, durable with great movement and power. He had all the attributes needed to be a great boxer. Evander fought many wars in the ring and came out on top. A true warrior.

Holyfield was a true light heavyweight. Unbelievable he did so good as a heavyweight. Kudos!

By far my favorite boxer of all time.

Damn Big George Foreman had a tough chin

Never seen anyone fight with the heart that Holyfield fought with. Some of the greatest fights I had the honor to witness, an absolute warrior.

I’ve always got to mention how much of a beast George Foreman really was

The real deal was one of my all time favorites but it wasn't his power that put him on the map He was a tiny HW that had a heart of a lion. He was hard to hurt and always showed up. Imagine fighting a guy who wont quit. Its like something out of a nightmare

Back in the day, the hype around Mike Tyson was so immense that people wrote off many boxers like Holyfield. Holyfield was fearless and could have given Tyson a run for his money if he fought him earlier. The video brings out the hard work he put in his fight to bar for many to appreciate in this day. Holyfield was one of the best boxers in the ring.

This documentary is so well narrated and produced and stands out from all other productions. What a warrior!

He was so crisp and disciplined in the ring. Stuck to technique so well. That and his timing is what got him over on so many of the best fighters. He was one of my heroes growing up

I think Evander is my favorite. He has so much style.

When Holifield got I'm that ring you knew that war was about to happen. One of my all time favorites.! NEVER seen him out of shape

Definitely one of the best fantastic CV, he got through some wars an extremely tough man.

George Foreman and Holyfield still gives the best goosebumps , don't they???

He knocked out all the greats of his time !

Greatest under rated boxer of all times! And truly my favorite out of all weight class. My greatest of all times!🥊✊

Boxen ohne Holyfield undenkbar! Evander, DU bist jeden Cent den Du verdient hast wert gewesen! DANKE FÜR DIESE TOLLE ZEIT!!!

Met the champ in Atlanta at a basketball game. Besides being the greatest of all time, he is humble first class gentleman

Excellent!!! Great Champion!!! Even greater man.

I never thought that Evander has gotten the accolades and respect he deserved. I am a huge Mike Tyson fan, but Holyfield is one of the top boxers ever!

best combination puncher in heavyweight boxing history🥊

Who remembers the holyfield boxing game on Sega Genesis? Good times

I used to be so angry with this great warrior and champion when I was younger due to my admiration of Iron Mike, but as I matured, I developed an unparalleled amount of respect for this mans undyin will to win, his mindset of never givin up, and his commitment to bein the hardest worker in the gym. He is easily one of the greatest to ever put there hands inside of a boxin glove.

Vicious hands and superb counterpunching ability. Such a great fighter to watch!

Loved the way he fought truly a great champion what a warrior

Gripping documentary. Learnt a lot. God bless you!

Wow, I've actually finished the video.. what a boxing fan my dad was.

Loved watching that man fight...The biggest Heart ❤️❤️❤️

Unbelievably he's a nice guy according to people who met him personally.

1 of the true Greats of all time but never got the full credit he deserves, when you look at his career he really is 1 of the greatest heavyweight champions/warriors of all time 👍👍👍

I love that Holyfield truly never dodged anyone.

He Had that Spirituality with those Blows & Humble!

I hadn't gotten around to watching this one yet - got my popcorn ready now and I'm loving it already. Thanks for keeping us fight fans fed with fantastic docs!

I had the great privilege of watching Evander’s entire career, and all the greats of the time, with my wife and best friend, Kelly. We have now been married 36 years, with two incredible children, and soon to be 4 Grand babies! Kelly and I have shared so many great memories, and many have been Sports related. From Sid Breams impossible game winning score for the Braves (with us both literally jumping up and down on the bed), to Tyson’s rise to greatness (starting on Tuesday Night Fights with Sean O’Grady & Al Bernstein), to Michael Phelps, Keri Scruggs, & hundreds of others historical Olympic moments, the Minnesota Miracle, to the Gamecock’s incredible College World series wins, to my Georgia Bulldogs Back to Back National Championships…we have had an incredible Sports history. While she is a SC Gamecock diehard, she fully supports my Dawgs. In turn, I fully support her Gamecocks, except when they play my Dawgs. My daughter and her husband, who have a 3-1/2yr old son, are due 10/26 with a little girl. While my son and his wife, who have a 2-1/2yr old daughter, are due on 10/31 with a little boy…we have been blessed. I’m so lucky to have a wife who loves Sports so much. Even today, we set-up 3 TVs (actually 1 big TV, a smaller “bed” TV, & my iPad) to watch College football on Saturdays. From GameDay until the last west coast game is finished, only if it is interesting and we can stay awake. PS. Sorry to ramble and give you my life story, but watching this documentary on Evander just brought back so many memories I thought I would take the time to put my viewpoint into perspective.

Holyfield was that dude frfr! His resume qualifies him as a legendary gladiator family! To watch this man as a kid. I was in awe of his skills!!!

Wow! Had no idea how good this guy was. Had an amazing brass chin too

Truly a great boxer and fun to watch fights.

Your videos are some of the best there is on RU-vid! You have introduced me to many fighters that I would have never heard of and for that I thank you! Keep up the fantastic work!

My favorite all time 🙏

One of the greatest, tough, skilled and a true professional, awesome ambassador .

Evander looks small next to huge heavyweights but he is really a big guy. His heart is even bigger. This guy never quit. He is the epitome of the word warrior. Much respect 🙏 to him.

What's crazy about Holyfield's bronze medal from the olympics is that his bronze medal is probably worth more money than any boxers gold medal because of the story behind it, and because of Holyfield's great professional career. I would rather own his bronze medal as a collector of boxing memorabilia than almost anything else. It holds a crazy amount of significance because of the man that won it, and went on to dominate the professional boxing landscape just like he did in the amatuer ranks.

My two favorite, and most respected fighters of all time, Foreman and Holyfield. Holyfield had a champions heart and always gave his all. I will add also that the fight with ol Big George only proves how great the heavyweights of the 70's and 80's really were.

Finally a good documentary on Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield!!!

As always, great coverage and story telling. I enjoyed this trip down memory lane ❤

Joe Cortez the referee is worthy of you spending time on a story of his life. He was such a good, good referee!!

Holyfield was one of the greatest fighters of all time! His accomplishments were unmatched, not only was he a great fighter he also had a great personality! He was a humble bad ass and everybody knew it.
