The 90's was peak steroid usage I'm almost certain. Evan Fields was so roided up I don't know how he would do without the juice.

No announcement yet.
Did HOLYFIELD have the least amount of weaknesses of any heavyweight?

Tyson should have fought more like Tua, be explosive SOMETIMES and relaxed others.

He was ether world class, or elite in all areas of fighting.
Punching power = World Class. Combination punch ability = Elite. Endurance = Elite borderline Super Elite. Durability = Elite borderline Super Elite. Jab = World Class. Defense = World Class. Adaptability = World Class. Attitude = Elite i.e level of gameness.
There was no real area where he lacked, he was solid in every single area of fighting.
Which he needed to be, because he was a cruiser weight coming up to fight bigger guys.
Holyfield had no super elite attributes, but he made up for that being ether world class or elite in all area's.- Super Elite i.e Deontay Wilder's power, Mike Tyson's power and offense, Lennox lewis's Jab, Floyd Mayweather's defense, David Haye's punching power, defense and speed. Those are examples of super elite attributes.

Holyfield would have won a lot more if he boxed more... When he sat down on his shots he had plenty of power. He just fell in love with his power. He was very well rounded and also very coachable. He beat TYson IMO because, he actually was a bit intimidated, causing him to listen to Turner who told him to push in against Tyson instead of backing off... I honestly don't think most guys could do that... Its like: "Hey see that propellor blade? when it comes you better move towards it, even though your body will scream "away! Away!"
And for all the steriod naysayers in the Japanese chorus: Yes, in that epoche of boxing most fighters were exposed to steriods... Was hardly just Evander. I will say that he could be dirty and deadly with his head butting... But thats why God created the uppercut right?
