Do your research dude. Holyfield was supposed to fight Mike Tyson after his fight in Japan against Buster Douglas. But when Tyson lost to Douglas Holyfield went for the belt and took it from Douglas. So stop being a Tyson nuthugger. Holyfield never ducked nobody.

In the next fight against Bowe who was knocked out by Evander in the 6th round at one time, he was really in good condition, much stronger than ever before, but at the crucial moment, his strength was not enough that he couldn't give Bowe the consecutive and devastating punch, then unfortunately he was knocked out by the cold punch from Bowe in the 8th round.

I loved Holyfield growing up. He was a family favorite for us. But I've gotta admit that when I watch his fights now my opinion is a little different. He was kind of a dirty fighter. He would often lead with his head and then bring it up so that the back of his head would hit the eye or the nose of his opponents. Also, he would hit late, both after the bell and at the ref's breaks. You can see he did here when Mercer takes the knee for the knockdown. That's what lost him the gold medal and even though that was a different story you can see why it was called. He was a great boxer, puncher, fighter and champion without a doubt. I don't ever question his heart or work ethic but the man did bend the rules when he could...

You're right Evander was a dirty fighter but he was still a great fighter even tho imo he got lucky in some of his fights by using diry tactics

[@ExperienceEric]

Old school fighters were trained to keep their chin and head low and in their opponents chest. When both guys are doing it they clash heads a lot. Its not dirty, it the way they old school fighters were trained for over a century. I have seen every fight of Evanders career and I never once saw him internally head butt anyone. No ref ever accused him of internal head butts or even warned him of intentional head butts. There is a big difference being fighting an aggressive hard nosed physical style and being a dirty fighter. You want to see a dirty fighter who Intentionally head butts people in every single fight? Watch a Mike Tyson fight.

Both were tough as nails and endlessly aggressive. A boxing fans boxer

[@vicrattlehead6386]

Well, Holyfield went to full 12 rounds against someone like Alex Stewart... that guy lasted only few secs against Tyson. Then again, you cant explain how Mercer struggled and lost to Jessie Ferguson and 40+ years old Holmes. Ferguson also beat Douglas before Douglas beat Tyson. I guess every boxer came into a fight with different preparation and different physical condition. Also, style makes fight.

[@bobber0623]

Holyfield fought stewart twice the first time he knocked him out, the second time he wanted to go the distance cause he was about to fight Bowe the second time and wanted to prove he could box not brawl with him.

[@bobber0623]

Douglas knocked out Tyson Holyfield knocked out Douglas so what? Can play that game all day

[@thespy7795]

INCREDIBLE....Mercer, Bowe, Lewis and Holmes went the Distance with the Real Deal Holyfield. Tyson......Sufferred ANOTHER KO loss.

Mercer is one of my fav fighters of all time. He beat Lennox Lewis his gay ass and won the battle against holy headbutt field too

[@fattahrio766]

Great fighter.. Mercer..respect

[@markgrant5926]

The greatest of all time!!

[@rayleigh8]

From what the video showed, Mercer was winning the earlier rounds then got tired and evander started winning. My problem with evander is that he uses his head as a third fist.

[@ExperienceEric]

I've seen every fight Evander ever had and I never once saw him internally head butt anyone. You want to see someone throw INTENTIONAL headbutts and elbows to the head in every single fight? Watch a Mike Tyson fight.Tyson was the dirtiest fighter I ever saw. Ironically it was Tyson who started the headbutt accusations againt Evander, after Evander had gone through 90% of his career and NEVER been accused of head butting. Tyson, after headbutting everyone he ever fought, cried like a little bytch that Evander was headbutting him.

What does "Head" means on his trunks.

[@sergeantwarden471]

Someone asked about a Mercer vs. Tyson back then. My money would be on Ray Mercer. He was brave and bad. He was under rated . I don't think Tyson could have stood up to what this guy dished out. He was very hard to hurt too.

[@roberthorton6619]

I love holys hook he catches u coming in when it.hurts the most that's why u should.

[@mightyeye4624]

Ray Mercer was in some absolute wars.

[@jota55581]

[@jonefusipuga7290]

[@yyz125]

[@frankiegunnz8066]
