    How was Evander Holyfield so successful at Heavyweight?

    Despite being undersized against most of his opponents?

        Evander Holyfield was ok at HW. It's Evan Fields who was great at HW.

            Evander was a warrior and he tamed Tyson.

            He's no bully, you're the bully!

                Is it an absolute certainty that he took steroids?

                  It's called being a tough muther****er. Regardless if he was on steroids or not. He was tough on every aspect of the word.

                    Could boxer on the outside or move inside and pressure. He was a solid two handed attacker who worked in combination. Had a huge heart and the will to win with a great chin!
                    6' 2 1/2" 191-220 lbs.

                    Always in good condition and never cheated the fans with a "bum" performance.

                    If you didn't like Evander you didn't like boxing!
