Compare with Tyson against a younger Holmes.
When Bert Cooper had Holyfield in trouble and was about to knock Holyfield down, Holyfield had to be rescued by stooge referee Mills Lane---
with a perfectly timed standing count to enable Holyfield to recover.
Holyfield "won" the title from a Buster Douglas who didn't train and didn't even bother to show up.
Holyfield was the foulest fighter ever to hold the title.
The referees were non-existent in his fights.
And it got worse as he got older.
They might as well have let him bring a baseball bat into the ring.
Evander was an excelent fighter.
No he wasn't.Holmes was better when he faced Holyfield.
When holmes faced holyfield he was 4 years older heavier and slower.
TrueHolyfield "won" twice by butting Tyson.
What a fighter.
For me joe louis duran dempsey,foreman and tyson were the top 5 in agression.
The steroids he was taking helped him win those fights as wellp4p1 wrote:im very worried as i agree, exept for the butting helped win those fightsgranberry wrote:Anyone would fear Billygoat Holyfield's butting
