    Question...didn't the past HW greats...

    Didn't the past HW greats all begin careers very promising...

    Ali was young, fast, ****y, and just dominated...

    Tyson was young, fast, powerful and blew guys out...

    Foreman was knocking the heads and spirits out of guys...

    Marciano was bombing the spirits out of his foes...

    Holyfield was in great fights and never letting up...

    Frazier was left hooking and breaking jaws...

    same with Luis, etc...

    some exceptions like Lewis, but Lewis avenged his early loss, Holmes went undefeated for a while and looked impressive...

    in most if not all cases, the past great HWs made us say WOW "early" in their careers...it is hard for me to be serious about any up coming HW who doesn't make me say wow early on...

    watching Audley tonight, will never make me say wow...he will be KOed soon...

      Holyfield never made me say "Wow".

      But Tyson most certainly did.

          Holyfield made me say "wow" when he took it to Tyson the way he did and I think me made alot of other people say "wow" because I remember that fight vividly and nobody was giving Evander a chance to win. I remember of like everybody I know I was the only one who predicted Holyfield to win. I think that might have been the biggest fight of the 90's was Holyfield vs Tyson. To bad Tyson ruined it by biting Holyfield ear, but he just got frustrated because Holyfield kept headbutting him.

              Yeah but that was not early in Holyfield's career. He was considered passed his prime in that fight.

                may not have to be "wow"...but noticing something that really stands out...with Tyson his power...Ali his speed and natural talent...Foreman his power...maybe Holyfield, his chin and determination...heart...condition
