    But it can also be noted the amount of headclashes in that fight/s also stemmed from Tyson coming in low then launching up, and also recklessly charging in trying to kill Evander.


    Holyfield is one of those fighters where I cannot understand how anyone couldn't like him. Brave man is all I will say.
    Have you watched Holyfield-Toney? You get to see how Holyfield uses his head, literally.

    And as early as 1994 Margaret Goodman was questioning Holyfield about his heart condition, she believed it was due to long term use of hgh. Also back in 2007 he was caught buying HGH under the name Evan Fields

      Yeah I agree, at least with other dirty fighters like Hopkins they don't act like they are saints, but Evander is really something else. Playing the role of the righteous Christian while head butting his opponents, cheating and roiding since at least the early 90's. Have you seen Holyfield-Toney that was a Holyfield head butting clinic from about round 2 onwards.

      Translation:

      I am a Tyson fan boy and he is the reason I got into the sport. When Evander proved millions wrong by KOing my hero and then my guy bit his ear off in the rematch, I started hating Evander like a bitter *****.

        Dr. Margaret Goodman, now the chief ringside physician for the Nevada State Athletic Commission, told the SI reporters that back in 1994, when Holyfield evinced evidence of a heart defect follwing his loss to Michael Moorer, commission doctors believed the malady to be consistent with HGH use, but since Holyfield denied having used the substance they could not pursue the theory.

        Im also assuming you are trying to get yourself banned with the Bitter ***** comment.

          Many fighters are dirty one way or another. And I always find it laughable when Mike Tyson fans of all people call Evander dirty. Biting off an ear and trying to break an arm is worse than anything Evander ever did.

          Never caught that's not true. And the rest is SPECULATION. Evander was very muscular and a physique and achievments like his always attract su****ion. Evander was very naturally muscular, and the fact he trained so hard amplified it. I even have a photo in some book of Evander as a 13 year old kid already looking broad and beginning to develop good muscle tone.

            It's like with Manny supposedly roiding, he is ripped, he is good, people get su****ious. I don't believe he is and I don't want to either. But refusing to do the tests is weird and annoying.

              Holyfield’s name does not appear on documents, because the drugs in question were ordered by a patient named “Evan Fields,” whose birthday, Oct. 19, 1962, happens to coincide with Holyfield’s. (Fields’ listed address was “794 Evander, Fairfield, Ga.”) And when the SI reporters dialed the number listed on Evan Fields’ prescription, Holyfield answered the phone.

                At the end of the day, that is all speculation, I like Evander as a fighter, I believe he is legit.

                The bitter ***** comment was childish and unnecessary.

                    Evander was linked to a Pharmaceutical company that had allegedy supplied athletes with steroids. Pharmaceutical companies provide a wide range of products, especially as a boxer, and a man who has suffered diseases like Hepatitis A.

He is now fighting Botha for a worthless belt and he now thinks he deserves another title shot? How can a guy get so many chances for losing fights and fighting nobodies?
                      the wbf belt is the top belt on Africa.the ibo belt or the EU belt.it's like nabf or usba title.it's a regional belt.pierre coetzer,corrie sanders,Botha have worn it.Rahman too.
