Would Holyfield been intimidated by prime Tyson(86-87)?

But that is his own pain . People with deep depression are less afraid of being harmed by other people because they feel that they in some way deserve too be hurt . The pain inside outweighs any physical which can be delt there for ridding of any fear of physical harm.

it was a joke man. a joke.ahaha. laugh alittle.

No...Evander wouldnt be intimidated by Tyson of 86. Would Tyson be intimidated with Evander? Might have been. Didnt Tyson used to cry before fights for some reason. People were scared of Tyson but.....

Evander Holyfield and intimidated don't belong in the same sentence. Come on now.

Holy was set to fight Tyson after the Douglas match but since Mike lost, he fought Douglas...And lets not forget that Holyfield used to spar with Mike back when he was a Cruiserweight. And according to Evander, Mike's trainers had to pull him off of sparring with him cuz he used to whoop on Mike.

Nothing funny about a grown man crying in the middle of a boxing ring man.

A joke is a short story or series of words spoken or communicated with the intent of being laughed at or found humorous by either listener/reader or performer/writer

Obviously Evander is mentally tough, but after Tyson lost there were a bunch of fighters who werent afraid of him. Since Mike was such a mound of invincibility before he lost and was in his prime... do you think Holyfield would have been scared of that Mike had they fought(Even though Holy was at cruiserweight).

Let's put an end to this . . . Holyfield is one of the fighters who was never intimidated by anybody. He lost a lot of fights lately because he is completely
past his prime but still the guy's heart and toughness is still there.

Really? I never heard Evander used to spar with iron mike. I heard LL did but not evander. So Evander got the better in sparring is he trying to say?

The story I heard about Tyson and Holyfield sparring was from Teddy Atlas when he was being interviewed. He said Mike and Evander use to spar when they were boys. Teddy described Mike as a "ring perfectionist"..meaning that Mike was a great front running fighter but if things didnt go his way he would panic and wasnt good at fighting from behind. So Teddy said basically that when they sparred Mike was a bigger boy and use to knock Evander down because he outweighed him by about 25 pounds. But then he said Mike use to get discouraged and lose confidence because Holy kept getting up and fighting back harder after he got up and thats when he would hurt Mike back. Almost all the guys that Mike put on their back stayed there, so according to Teddy Mike couldnt handle these situations very well
