Comments Thread For: Evander Holyfield: I Could Fight In Any Era Of Heavyweights

[Marchegiano]

It's crazy the amount of disrespect Holy gets.

[NachoMan]

I mean, does anyone think this is controversial? He was fighting like 10-15 years ago, in the same era as Wlad. He was old as **** and still fighting well against champions. Prime Holyfield is a championship level fighter in any era of boxing.

Not sure what to say about anyone who doubts this.

In the no roid era's I'm not so sure. He would run out of gas easy. Sorry but this guy's career is a big asterisk just like Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire.

His career as a cruiserweight was damn good...and that was pre roids. Beating Qawi twice was an achievement.

We drug test in this era. Back to Light-Heavyweight with you, Evan Fields.

The closest old timers such a John L, Fitz & Corbett came to peds was Ale, Sherry & Champagne!

I believe it. He fought literally every top guy he could’ve fought, and then some.

That’s fair, a cheat is a cheat. But honestly, PED’s don’t give you the balls to fight everyone. There are PED users who still cherrypick even while roiding up.

I like his skills, attitude, heart, and toughness....but let's be honest: he had help.

That having been said, he would have fit in real good with those 70's Light Heavyweights.

Holyfield vs. Joe Louis is a fight that many have dreamed about.

So are u saying roids gave him stamina? The guy fought 15 rounds early in his career, well before project omega. Does that mean pro bodybuilders have great stamina from roids? I don’t doubt Evander took gear to bulk up, but maintaining his stamina only proves that he worked hard at it. There’s nothing that Evander has ever shown that suggests he would ever “gas out easy”. The dude bounces on his toes all night. Take sum gear, work out, add 20lbs, and see if your cardio improves without working on it. It’s like saying Roids improved Bonds eyesight.
