Evander Holyfield - Complete Championship Profile

[@globalfrank9557]

Evander Holyfield, the embodiment of a fighter. Tough as old boots, underrated boxing skill and never stopped coming forward. Undoubtedly one of the best Heavyweights of the last 40 years.

[@Kunfucious577]

You can understand why he was underrated. He got the lineal belt fighting a fat Buster Douglas. Then he fought a string of fighters way past their primes. Holmes, Foreman and Tyson were all past prime and fat and slow. The Bowe fights were all legit but he lost the first one when Bowe was actually in shape.

[@moneymarc6837]

I never heard the Real deal pissing dirty... Ppl always want to talk with no proof... Evander wasn't even a real heavyweight he was fighting guy's that weighted in at 250lb and Evander would come in at 215 to 218.. And hold his own .. And he's the only man to be HEAVYWEIGHT champion 4 times!!!

[@nach0vidal]

I used to hate Holyfield. Being a big Tyson fan, the reasons were obvious. However, having watched his career again, and putting my bias aside, Holyfield, without doubt goes down as one of the best ever. His stamina, chin, heart, conditioning and toughness truly ranks up there with the best. I salute you Evander!!

I respect Holyfield but I disagree. If you take prime Tyson and match him up against prime Holyfield I think Tyson would knock him out. Tyson in 1988 was a counter puncher himself. He knocked out Spinks with a right uppercut and a left hook that just grazed the top of spinks head. That version of Tyson beats everyone.

[@chocochiche]

He fought Bowe with hepatitis A. He never outweighted any fighter. He is the only 4 time HW champ. GOAT at cruiser. IMHO top 4 HW ATG (Ali, Holy, Foreman, Louis). Biggest determination and heart ever. Great boxing IQ and counterpunching. He's always ready to punch, he's always in the right place, he will make you pay your mistakes. He could beat any HW in history, imho even prime Ali. He's the real deal.

[@bruh_1627]

He would never beat ali gtfoh hes a legend dont get me wrong but the guy in his prime struggled with 42 yr old version of Foreman and Holmes who were still good but they were old. He was a very accomplished fighter but he literally struggled with eveyrone including journeymen so there is no way he is a top H2H fighter. Prime versions Vitali, Wlad, Tyson, Ali, Louis, Lewis, Foreman, Holmes, Frazier could all beat him.

@@thegoat8447 Have to agree here. Watch Ali Shavers. That has to be the greatest example of Ali's sheer toughness. I cringe to think of the brain damage Ali probably suffered as a result of that fight, but man, even when Shavers got him so hard he didn't know what planet he was on, his legs did NOT give out and he fought on, ultimately recovered, and ended the fight in a toe to toe slugfest. Don't get me wrong, Holyfield is any conversation about who had the best chin, most heart, but I think Ali probably wins for chin.

Even after way past his prime years he's still going after top tier boxers and champs. He never backs down on any fight.

[@syncmonism]

It's ridiculous how long and successful his career was, especially considering that he was quite a small heavyweight (and originally a cruiserweight), and because of how many absolute wars he was in. Even when he was past his prime, he was still quite well trained and unusually competitive. He probably should have retired after the second Lennox Lewis fight. However, he was still very competitive in the final 16 fights of his career which took place after that point, winning the final fight of his career by TKO about 5 months away from his 49th birthday! I remember watching that fight, and being dumbfounded at how good he still looked at his age. It's very unlikely that this wasn't achieved through "natural" means, but even still, it's very impressive.

Just in the interest of somebody that doesn't know all too much about boxing, how big of a challenge is it to move from Cruiser up to Heavyweight? I can only assume, but I imagine moving up from 190lbs and competing with guys that are sometimes well above 220 must pose some serious physical challenges. Purely from that perspective, I find it astonishing how Holyfield competed so successfully at Heavyweight, but then again I don't really know how unprecedented that is. If someone may shed some light 😅

[@Knards]

While I know there are many that fit this description, there are two people that exemplify the desire to win the most to me. Evander and Ray Leonard.
