The 4 Guys Who Knocked Down Evander Holyfield

[paul750]

I'm not sure how anyone can lose all respect for Holyfield unless they hadn't much respect for him in the first place. I couldn't care less if he was taking rocket fuel because the sort of heart and courage he has shown through the years has not been enhanced by drugs. Holyfield has been fighting for so many years, it's hard to imagine him using drugs for so long without being caught.

It's a little surprising again..

Not who you would have thought.


Still Evander has had an amazing chin for a "blown up Cruiser."

Damn, Thanks for posting.

He admitted it in an interview. He also accused Tyson of steroid abuse.

I like Holyfield, but i hate cheats....i`m torn

He didn't admit it did he? He said he took some medication for a "hormonal problem". He claims he forgot what drugs he took and the name of the doctor who gave him the drugs, but he remembers one doctor's name. That doctor of course is dead

Bowe not Moorer. Moorer suffered knockdowns in both Holyfield fight though.

God damn it, I stand corrected...how the **** do I lose frame of reference like this.

For the record I dont enjoy being corrected by some redneck from Birmingham.

Watch yourself.

.. and he himself has NOW admitted he took steroids..

He clearly denies taking steroids.
But admits he took 'somthing' a few times.

It seems people are very eager to distort what he has said, and proclaim is a cheat. Why?

The fact is nothing has been proven, and he denies taking steroids.

"A doctor there prescribed something, but I don't know what it was. Hormonal something. All I know is it didn't do anything so I stopped taking it. I only took it two or three times over the summer. They said, 'Just keep taking it.' I said, 'Why, it's not doing anything?' I lost to Larry Donald [in November]," Holyfield told the paper.

"Somebody high up in boxing mentioned to me that there was this other fighter who did steroids and I should too because it wasn't illegal in boxing yet," he said. "I said, 'I'm not going to do that. I ain't no cheater.' I was the undisputed cruiserweight champion and I was in the Olympics. If I started taking steroids, people would say, 'He cheated at everything.' But this guy told me, 'Well, [Mike] Tyson is doing it, you should, too. I said, 'I don't care if Tyson is doing it, I'm not.' "

No disrespect, but I find it very unlikely that anyone with the physique and conditioning of a heavyweight champion was putting things into his body just because someone told him to and without knowing what they were.

You dont get into that kind of shape without taking very good care and a very keen interest in what you eat, what you drink, what you do and what you take.

Holyfield was all heart, jucing wont give you a chin like that(& I'm not buying that story til all the facts are in). Most of the KD were after taking punishment for a while. & that's the Toney that could have eaisily gotten a title before he went "all you can eat buffet" on us, great post.

Toney was unproven at the heavyweight division when he fought Evander. Who had he beaten ?...Jirov?..come on now & I'm not trying to diminish Toney in any way I just never took him serious at the Heavyweight level.

Haven't read any posts from here but John Ruiz, Bert Cooper, James Toney, & Rid**** Bowe.

What a great clip of John Ruiz landing a perfect straight right to Holyfield's head. It's a wonder how he was able to get up and finish that fight. BTW, what ever happened to Ruiz? Seems as though he fell off the face of the earth.
