During a charity event in the early 1990s, Holyfield defeated Carl Lewis, the former Olympic sprinting champion, in an 800 metre race.
He started professing his Christianity everywhere, reminding the public before and after his fights that he is a reborn Christian, and wearing t-shirts with the word Pray in public.
In 1998 Holyfield was forced to announce that he believed to have as many as nine children out of wedlock, and his marriage was affected by that announcement.
you know whats funny people are probally picturing the old ass slow evander running...they must remember this was in the early 90s and evander was a conditioning freak! he would ran at fast pace and his top speed nonstop for a good 3-5 minutes in intervals....sprinters train in fast twitch runs...they just go for quick speed and spurts...that is why sprinters are buff and ripped they want strong power ful fast twitch muscles because running that fast will tire the shit outta you you gas out fast...
the dude was a genetic freak.
once again WRONG. when i ran warmups it was 800s(two laps) and 1600s(a mile or 4 laps) and i wasnt all that slow. did miles in 5 minutes. i gotta see him beat him. especially for a charity event.that should be a clue right there that it was all in jokes.ahahaha
I dont think Carl Lewis ever competed past 200 meters. 800 meters is completely different. Its more stamina than anything. Its not about being the fastest guy, its about being able to keep a fast pace the whole time without dying out.
hes a fuckin athlete.ahaha he runs 800s for warmups. and even pacing yourself,your still faster then post ppl.

Holyfield's whoremongering is well known and it makes his preaching simply laughable. During a press conference with Lennox Lewis, Holyfield claimed that God wanted him to win, then Lewis called him a hypocrite!
i think its worth mentioning that lewis is a SPRINTER.... 800 meters is half a mile
lewis never ran more than 200 meters competitively and would not have been trained to run even up go 400 meters at world class level...
i ran the 100 and 200 meters in track and i was pretty damn good and if i had even dared try the 800 i would have embarassed myself
i was a sprinter for 7 years and i can still run 800 meters pretty fuckin fast. not that far behind the 800meter runner. so i think it was a joke. the whole charity thing proves it
Ive run 800m in 1 min 55 seconds which is better than elite women but not elite men who get close to 1 min 42.
Sprinters would stuggle big time over 800 metres, totally different energy systems involved.
