Michael Jai White on Evander Holyfield Never Being Scared of Mike Tyson (Part 8)

[@tylers6611]

I think the first step to beating Tyson was to not be afraid of him.

[@deedogtx]

Buster Douglas was afraid but faced his fear and gained confidence leading to W

@tylers6611 what a Casual Statement by you .nobody Beat Mike Tyson Except Mike Tyson

​@@deedogtxTyson was screwed by the refs

[@waynewhitaker234]

​@@darnellwilliams8783then if Tyson beat Tyson meat head. Then that means that Tyson got beat by buster, evander, Lennox. Only a delusional illiterate casual fan of Mike tyson would say some stupit crap like that. If Mike couldn't get out his own head fighting those 3 that beat him, eveander beat him twice. That means that because those guy wasn't scared and boxed him that ultimately defeated Tyson. SMH you don't know what you're talking about

I couldn't believe my eyes watching the punishment holyfield could take An he would just keep comin lookin not even phased At the time i remember it honestly kinda had me a lil shook in my head just WATCHIN it because before watching them fights i only thought that chit was possible in the movies And another thing about holyfield is i remember i would ALWAYS be doubtin him in pretty much every big fight he had, and it seemed like all the punishment would make him get stronger an stronger like some kinda movie monster or jason or freddy or some chit Yes now that i look back holyfield definitely had me shook man

Holyfield fought Riddick had a jab that was like a plank n he could fight inside n out. Holyfield was 215 at his best so was Ali, Holyfield had the tenacity to go 15rounds at a fast clip, and it'd be a top fight, my man talking about leg strength, Holyfield outboxed Riddick Bowe 2nd fight mixing in with the exchanges. His leg speed was underatted as a boxer per se' he outboxed guys at cruiser n he was crafty enough to beat guys like Ray mercer, Michael Dokes and when the chips were down he could always go back to boxing but he loved a fight n as far as Tyson was concerned was that Holyfield not only didn't fear Tyson, when did Tyson ever look confident after round 1 first fight? Everyone seems to think Tyson went to jail in his prime, I dispute that by his 4 fights after Douglas b4 prison, only one fight post prison ko3 Bruno did he look like the destroyer of the 80s, Evander had every reason to be confident, Tyson had pulled out in 91 b4 the allegations, he knew Holyfield wasn't gonna submit but in 96, Bowe had ko'd Holyfield the previous November, he looked like a shot fighter v Bobby czyz n Mike thought Evander was finished betting opened at 25-1 ended at 9-1 people were deceived by the illusion of Tyson, he hadn't had a tough fight in 5yrs which is no way to prepare for The real deal. Which is why Evander is and was better than Tyson, Kevin Rooney was Mike trainer after him yes men. Mike just wanted a brawl no tactics as such, he just went out to fight, razor ruddock would have stopped in 6 if he fought tyson In 87-88, why? The combination game, Mike never hit Holyfield or ruddock with more than a couple of those notorious combinations, when he did land you saw Holyfield respect that but Tyson had gone backwards by 96, Holyfield was bang in form n the better man. 😊 thanks appreciated uk..Aj

Holyfield was 34 1/2 yr old when 30 yr old Mike Tyson fought him😂 Holyfield’s prime was 29 yr old that fought 42 yr old Foreman. And 42 yr old Foreman gave Holyfield a better beating than 30 yr old Mike ever did in his duology🤣 Everyone knows 30 yr old Tyson isn’t his prime no one’s a casual. But he was fighting 35 yr old Holyfield😂 While Tyson at 36 was losing the fight to unknown white guy named Francois Brotha. Tyson being a hard puncher KO’ed him. Had Francois had the same power as Tyson he would’ve KO’ed him And Tyson at 38 lost to some white guy named Kevin McBride😂 While the greats like Foreman at 38 doing nothing but preaching. No workout! No touching gloves. Cutting down from 310 lbs decided to make a comeback and at 46 yr old he beat the guy that beat Holyfield and became the champ. And at 49 he also beat Shannon Briggs but was robbed All Tyson fanboys watch boxing from Instagram reels sigma phonk music edits of Mike Tyson and graduated from KZbin shorts boxing academy

You can't just say prime, you'd have to take a specific year for each fighter and who they fought in said year, coming off of which fight, etc etc... and then match them up against each other instead of one of those fights for each guy to say who would be better at that time in their career. Prize fighters only fight a few times a year and sometimes longer gaps. They also make adjustments based upon losses or may be incapable of preparing themselves for certain styles along with the knowledge and experience they are gaining and in contrast as equally as they slow down and the chin weakens.. so since styles, training camps and the fighters circumstances are what make the fight, there are then, only a few realistic outcomes. Its not so hypothetical. If that makes any sense at all lol

So true. Cus passing. Jacob’s passing. King comes in and runs Rooney off. And, of course Bill Cayton, the bank. Tyson gets a bunch of no-nothing cornermen in his corner. And it’s a rap!

8:28 I would add guys like Mike Weaver, Cleveland Williams and Steve Cunningham as the best physiques in boxing.

I feel like after landing the role for Creed 3, Jonathan Majors gave his trainer an old pic of Cleveland Williams and said 'make me look like this.' 😂

[@ZBOXINGTALK]

@@dawb86 Haha, probably true!

Tyson is a beast but Holyfield was nice with it too.

[@shall7277]

Holyfield would've always beaten Tyson. At every point in Tyson's career.

[@theinformationbomber7102]

hell naah, take out the PEDs and headbutts and what remains of holyfield ? nothing but a pathetic disgusting cruiserweight

[@urbanflavorz]

Tyson didn't do no 6 year prison stint. He was locked up for 3 years. Evander was fearless. Tyson fight was the only fight Evander said he would knock em out. People thought Evander was going to get killed.

I 100% agree with Michael Jai White's opinion of the Holyfield/Tyson dynamic and I've always felt this way. Holyfield couldn't be bullied and that's a problem for a fighter like Mike Tyson. Tyson always has a punchers chance, but I think Holyfield wins a high percentage of the time if we're being hypothetical.
