i just finished watching a ringside special on espn and it was on holyfield and man this dude was no joke. i must of forgot or didnt give a shit back then but damn he was the man. what you guys think. i mean now he might be a lil too old but what if he was in his prime with these guys now days?
Evander is the man. Even the Holyfield of today gives any HW champ a run for his money. He soundly beat Valuev in my opinion.
The steroid thing? Not sure what to think. I firmly believe that the vast majority of HW fighters juice, especially in Europe, on the off season. So it wouldn't surprise me.
I would love for the proposed Adamek fight to take place. Evander on HBO in 2010? Who could imagine.
Holyfield was a great fighter with lots of heart. I really enjoyed his fights. The beatings he'd take and then come storming back to win. But I don't think he'd stand a chance even in his pride against either of the Klitchskos.
by far he is my favorite pro, mabey because we share the same physical dimensions and mentality in the ring but on my ipod i have got most of his good fights and watch them all the time (mabey because if i got a chance to go pro i fantasize that thats how my career would of been like) but the real deal is my man. (p.s i will answer your question in the training fourm latter on today)
I believe Holyfield used steroids for most of his career.
He is relatively young and has a lot of heart issues and has for some time now.
well how has his weight remained the same for over ten years if he was using he woulld lose weight when he come of peds he has done tests and come out clean, a never understand why david haye doesnt get these asusations cause he has put on more weight and has lookt has cut has holyfield at times so get too fuk holyfields clean
didnt he take drugs LOL

Incorrect......he was accused of it but nothing has been proven and when he first retired the doctor said it might have been due to HGH....but still nothing has been proven...second time he was accused was in the 2000s when a clinic was raided which supplied athletes with Peds etc and then they found a clients name called "Evans Fields" whos details were at holyfields house and same birth date and address etc...but nothing has been proven..and when holyfield first fighted tyson he did Blood Testing for steroids etc and he came out clean and tested negative....so still there is no valid proof that holyfield is doping...or has done in the past
There is nobody in boxing today that is close to prime Holyfield's level.
He would clean up the division and be unified champion if he were to fight today.
yep! sir i agree
i agree no heavy now a days can match him. i like tomaz right bout now but we'll see and haye pisses me off cause he looks the role and talks shit(which is funny) but he called out the champs and now wants no part of it. **** money what ever happened to just proving your the man?
i feel ya bro do you box? cause just watching him is amazing the ass whipping he would take and come back. he wasnt cocky but in the ring his ego was huge.
at his best and in his prime at heavyweight i like to think of evander the real deal holyfield as a top5 all time great heavyweight the man had a heart as big as a football stadium and had good power and always made for great action packed fights and their is no doubt that if he was in his prime today he would be undisputed champ hands down i'm sorry wladimir and vitali dont have the boxing skills or the tools to beat a prime holyfield warrior who took on bigger and better fighters than those two combined!!!
