The TKO of Tyson. Holyfield was past his best, and in retrospect the victory was seen more at the time than it really meant, but Evander had been completly written off by most, and he showed his grit and tremondous chin to prevail in the reason why went up to fight at heavyweight (to get a big $ fight with Tyson)

The loss to holmes, I thought he edged it, but a truly great fight and tremendous performance from such an inexperienced fighter. it showed he belonged with the best of them.
