Cheers my man, I try my best!

Dwight Muhammad Qawi
James 'Buster' Douglas
George Foreman
Larry Holmes
Rid**** Bowe
Ray Mercer
Mike Tyson
John Ruiz
Hasim Rahman

... I pick The Mike Tyson win

BY far it is the mike tyson win. holy was a HUGE underdog, one boxing analyist in the entire COUNTRY picked holy to upset tyson (and he was from the boston globe...obviously)
tyson was supposed to end holy early, he was looking to the lewis fight after that, but it never happend
why??
THE REAL DEAL took it home
that fight made me so mad then, bc i used to be a HUGE tyson fan, but how do you not like holyfield????

RE: Bowe. I think the ironic thing is that Holyfield proved more about himself in the fights he lost against Rid****, rather than the one he won. Agree/disagree?

I thought his fight with Bert Cooper was his biggest scare and the ref saved him in that fight! That was probbably the fight that dammaged Holyfield's brain. Still one hell of a fight! If anyone has that fight they should put it up for boxingscene because it was great!

I pick his fight with Tyson because it kind of resurected his career. Everyone that was at my house thought that Mike was gonna kill Holy! I was the only one who said watch, Holy is gonna win!

The Bert Cooper fight was awesome...Iloved Bert and Bert was one big reason I thought Holyfield had little chance against Tyson the in the first fight, I fgured Bert was a poor mans Tyson.

Bert was 1 more right hand away from becoming champ!

Classic battle, I love that fight.I miss those kind of heavyweight fights.
Holy-Cooper-Dokes-Mercer....etc.

I dont see how.

Rid**** Bowe was Evander's sparring partner.

It was the opposite way around....Bowe needed Holy.

Bowe was a big name that Holyfield needed to fight to show that he could mix it up in the heavyweight division.

Rid**** Bowe or Mike Tyson... Both were career defining fights for him.

Both were special moments in the heavyweight division.

Unquestionably Tyson 1 was his biggest win. Not just the impressive way he won it, on the largest stage, but against the biggest name. If he had lost that fight, take all his other wins and throw em in a sack, because few would remember them.

bowe or tyson. those are both huge victories.
