For me I gotta say holydfield cause even after his heart scare he still fought. and he even fought mike tyson twice :eek: to me he has a will to survive when it comes to fighting he stick in there even when he's tired as hell
Holyfield does..Gatti is an animal, but Holyfield damn..I love Holyfield he was in there fighting guys that were much bigger and stronger than him and he was busting there asses, not running just straight up fighting.
Gatti ducked guys? He is the one who made the Mayweather fight happen. He wanted to fight Zu and now he wants Hatton. Its embarrassing to say he ducked fighters
Gatti (through his management) did duck Tszyu.
Dont tell me to shut up you New Jersey piece of filth. Why are people from your stae so rude and such shi*ty drivers? You all have small man complex becaused NY runs sh*t up here in the Northeast. You and your state are a joke. You disrespect a modern day warrior by accusing him of doing steroids. If Holy roided up he would have probably been caught. Toney was caught without any suspiscion as he had a Butterbean body.
first of all, screw u and ur asshole steriotypes.
second of all, i hate to say it, but its NY that is known for its bad driving.
third, im not saying he was,as a matter of fact he probly wasnt,but it is possible holyfield used roids for a short period, again , im NOT saying he necessaryly did
fourth, wtf do u mean NY runs shit? in wat sense? do they go to other states in the NE and tlel them wat 2 do?
i have no problem with NY at all, but ur an ass goblin
holyfield did many great things in his time, and he was a true champion although he didn't possess the natural ability of other fighters in his time.
but i will have to give this one to Gatti, maybe my answer is biased since i have seen gatti alot more than holyfield but most would agree that Gatti really did make everyone respect him (xcept of PBF).
when you are watching a Fight on TV, you cannot accurately determine the amount of damage a punch has caused to another fighter and sometimes you wonder why a certain fighter quit; because you feel he surely couldn't have been that hurt. But in the case of Arturo GAtti, people sitting at home and watching him on TV would say "stop this now", some sitting ringside would even close their eyes but this lion hearted warrior would not stop. The gift of a lion heart is possessed by very few and GAtti is certainly on the top of the list.
I don't think either has any more than the other, its really not somethign you can quantify. Arturo wouldn't quit against Floyd, and Evander refused to quit against Toney when both were going poorly. Both have Grade A hearts to me

Not to mention that Holyfield was almost always the much smaller man when he fought. Gatti squeezed a walk around 165 pound body to fight at 140 and was almost always the bigger man. Holyfield is a natural 190 pound man through weight training and diet put on muscle to fight the big boys. Easy pick Holy
Thats true but he was stronger than all of the guys he fought except Big George and maybee Tyson. They still hit harder and he had a dangerous ammount of heart!

lol! :D :confused:
I dont believe that. Did you see Holyfields legs they were like twigs while his upper body was ripped and cut up. Apparently steroid use makes for consistently larger muscles throughout the entire body. For this reason, also along with the fact that Holy had great genetics and a warrior work ethic and mentality..I think Evander truly was clean and truly was the Real Deal. Now James Toney thats another story entirely all together.
shutup
seriously..you dont know wtf you're talking about, holyfield put on 25 pounds of muscle in 2 months, then years later showed trouble with his left ventricle, a problem many bodybuilders who use roids encounter...just shutup.
well, holyfield. hes much more of a warrior in my eyes, didnt pick easy fights, etc.
however, props to gatti for usually fighting a clean fight, ie not headbutting etc. evander is an absolutely fantastic headbutter.

Very true. Another reason Holy had the bigger heart.
