Sometimes even the most God-fearing man won’t listen to God’s honest truth.
In the mind of Evander Holyfield, the only things needed are his beliefs, the thoughts that he can and will become “the undisputed heavyweight champ of the world.”
Whether those beliefs are a byproduct of self-esteem or a manner of self-motivation, they have, in the past, been persuasive and effective. After capturing Olympic bronze as a light heavyweight in 1984, Holyfield went on to unify the cruiserweight division and then ventured off to join the heavyweights, a little fish in the biggest pond.
Although he often only weighed between 205 and 220 pounds, it wasn’t Holyfield’s size that mattered. Rather, it was his ample heart that made him a gritty scrapper, the buzz saw who took on so many of the name heavyweights over the past two decades.
Holyfield knocked out Buster Douglas in 1990 to gain the heavyweight title, he won a close decision over Rid**** Bowe in 1993 to regain it, he knocked out Mike Tyson in 1996 to become a three-time titlist and added a fourth occasion in 2000 when he outpointed John Ruiz. [details]
