    I hope someone such as Holyfield, who claims to be a man of god. Does not lie, but its hard to believe him seeing how many injuries he has occured over the years, that it really wouldn't be surprising if he did.

      Holyfield is THE MAN!!!! He fights at the weight he walks around at, he could cut but he doesnt. He IS courage, he is a crusierweight that stood toe to toe with the biggest and baddest heavyweights in his generation and beat them all (Lewis 2 was his). And now at 44, he isnt trying to get an easy heavyweight title like Jones and Hopkins, he wants to fight all four of the title holders.


      I am a huge fan of his and I respect him more than I respect anybody else. I do it admit thought that it does seem odd that had heart problems which are linked to steroid use, but he has looked the same for ever. I dont think he used, he never really got bulky just swimmer type lean.

        What about him losing his hair so quickly?

        Maybe it was genetics.

          Let us not forget his enlarged heart in the first Moorer fight. Steroids?

              He is one muscular Swimmer. Mark Spitz was built like a bodybuider and Greg Louganis was Mr Olympia caliber weren't they?

                okay, maybe not swimmer type. What I mean is that he is muscualr but it is lean, like look at mosley he is very muscular but they are lean as opposed to some professinal wrestlers who used steroids and gain 60 pounds of muscles and look like monsters. Compare Holyfield to someone like Big Poppa Pump.

                  Thats a bad assumptoon to make. Vargas took steroids and he doesn't exactly look like a wrestler to me. Anyone can be on roids. Plus, holyfields huge as hell. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. He doesn't have a shane mosely build at all

                    are you kidding me? he went from a skinny 190 lber to a 210 lb heavyweight in less than a year wihile keeping the same body fat. not possible without steroids. anyone who doesnt think he was using is either brain dead or in deniall
