Was Holyfield's win over Tyson the most impressive defensive strategy in history?

[BigNuts]

Holyfields strategy was FLAWLESS! Just amazing.

Tyson came out throwing bombs and Holyfield stood his ground, kept his composure and applied his strategy throughout the entire fight and had Tyson tired and frustrated.

[just the facts]

not as much strategy as a standard Holyfield fight

Really? He certainly didn't apply this strategy when he was fighting Bert Cooper and Bowe.

Holyfield was unbelievable that night.

You're right his strategy was excellent.

And he even took some serious bombs at times and ate them for breakfast.

Yeah because headbutts are the best strategy....

Hopkins and Holyfield hit harder with their heads than with their fists.

why do people always keep bringing that up?

Those butts weren't on purpose.

This was such and intriguing fight, because I saw it as Tysons first proper opponent. Of course Holyfield was past his best slightly, but these 2 were the best of their era and should have met earlier, but just happy to finally see them get it on.

Wanted to see how good Holyfields chin still was, and what would happen if somebody could take Tysons punchs and give some back.

headbutts, clinching and roids.

Those headbutts were part of the strategy.
