Thanks, should i delete posts like this once theyre answered mods?

NO!!

Hasim Rahman was left with a head shaped like an anvil, after Holyfield "accidently" butted him. I believe it was a deliberate tactic, as Lewis & Tyson made complaints of similiar treatment.

Man thats nasty, i cant believe the ref was saying he could carry on if he could see, that would have increased Holyfields punch accuracy by 30% DD . Holyfield did butt in that fight. most of the time with Evander its hard to tell how much intent is in them.

I remember him saying something along the lines of, "The man must have a steel plate in his head, or something," of Holyfield's skull, in just a very confused, melancholy way. It was like he didn't really know what had happened.

i never could understand how it swelled to that size

If Holyfield had chosen soccer as his sport of choice he would have been a centre-forward no doubt.

Holyfield has a long history of headbutts. Look here as he butts poor Mike Tyson in the cheek, leaving Mike no choice but to bite off his ear. Poor Mike...

This is where good ol' granberry's comments would come in handy:
