>the only boxer to be undisputed champion in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight >booty blasted prime tyson >booty blasted prime tyson again so hard that tyson bit his ear >the only boxer to won FOUR 4 F O U R heavyweight titles >retired in his 50's >believe in Jesus Christ
Only remember by plebs as the dude that gotten his ear bit off
No. He's remembered as one of the greatest fighters of all time, in two separate generations of fighting.
Matthew Barnes
Eh, it's boxing. People only remember the hot fresh meme, then forget all about him for the next one. Unless he's legendary like Muhammad Ali or something.
Michael Perez
Because he was one of the biggest juicers boxing has seen also Lewis, Tyson, and the Klitschko brothers were all better.
Colton Parker
Tyson wasn't better. Holyfield had him shook and when they eventually did fight he beat him fair and square
Levi Clark
steroids fixed fights
Liam Wright
>that pec gap absolutely unaesthetic
Gabriel Peterson
Tyson was shot by then, Evander rained when there were no good champions to fight.
Brody Cruz
>retired in his 50's You now remember he retired 3 years ago
Elijah Peterson
He wasn't in 1996 that's just an excuse, the suspension killed off his career because by the time he came back he was done but that was 3 years after the first Holyfield fight. Tyson was never knocked down in that fight and when they were supposed to fight in 1990 and everybody thought he'd handle Holyfield, Tyson was saying no it's a hard fight and was worried about losing like he was worried about Foreman. Holyfield would of always lost to Lewis but he would of had a good chance of beating Tyson in 90/91
Joshua Anderson
>whines about steroids >mentions the clit brothers Lmao
Hunter Robinson
But he didn't you fucking idiot.
Thomas Sanders
>prime tyson
nope, not even close
Ethan Morgan
Yeah he didn't fight Mike Tyson then because the mythical prime Tyson already got beat by Buster Douglas
Christian Green
tyson wasn't even in shape for that fight and he still won it since the ref gave douglas about 25 seconds to stand up
Matthew Bell
To this day I don't know why people put Tyson over Holyfield
Asher Baker
Tyson was done by mid 90's, he was half the fighter even by the time he fought Bruno. The first real test Evander had was Riddick Bowe and he lost, and even losing to Michael Moorer. Tyson sparked out Holmes in 88 ffs, Tyson was levels above Evander and if you look at both their primes Tyson was far better.
Parker Price
Michael Spinks would've beaten Holyfield
Brody Morales
And Lennox Lewis would have knocked out Bowe. Whats your deal?
Aaron White
Lennox Lewis was also a level above Holyfield
Brayden Mitchell
what lol? He's remembered as one of the greatest fighters of all time
Christopher Cook
Ducks Tyson until Mike is in prison for years = prime tyson
Shut the fuck up.
Wyatt White
He didn't duck him he was desperate to get the fight made. They were scheduled to fight then Tyson lost. They were rescheduled to fight then Tyson went to prison. Tyson was 24 when he lost to Douglas and 30 when he lost to Holyfield, if your prime is restricted to 18 to 20 it's because you weren't that good
Cooper Rivera
Why is believing in an imaginary thing relevant for being a goat boxer?
Ayden Robinson
the idea of love is an imaginary thing and we still believe in it
Ryan Adams
Do you understand what the word prime means?
James Robinson
At least it can be judged by chemicals in the brain. But yea, romantic love is bullshit. Plantonic love is real though.
Lucas King
Losing to Michael Moorer over 12 rounds and Bowe and going 12 rounds with an aged Holmes (who Tyson had sparked out years earlier) would suggest Holyfield is not up to much either.
Christopher Phillips
there are lot of ideas your cannot prove but still "exist"
see perfection, friendship, justice, ego, universe, etc
Henry Long
tyson, plz
John Cook
>duck tyson Wanna know how I know you have no fucking idea what you are talking about, you idiot?
Ryan Jones
>prime tyson
James Myers
Lost to Bowe Lost to Lennox
Nathan Robinson
literal who
Jack Torres
>rained
Isaiah Peterson
He was only good because he was a head butting machine on a 3g/week steroid cycle.
Jose Watson
he's talking about piss, user
Carson Robinson
Yeah, Holyfield made no attempt to fight Tyson before he went to prison. Oh, hang on:
Because mike tyson had personality and his style was different from the average boxer.
Jace Martin
I remember him disassembling based Maguilla at the Central Park...what a shame!
Jackson Rogers
Marciano would beat all these plugs. My grampa saw him fight and says he was the best, the BEST.
Logan Scott
>le headbutt steroid man
nah
Andrew Green
Because they're casuals
James Smith
Because prime Tyson is a force of legend and the fact of the matter is we never got to see a prime Tyson v. prime Holyfield. It's all bullshit, but entertaining, speculation.
Lucas Barnes
Brit who cannot spell 'reigned'.
Give your head a wobble you numpty
Christian Martin
can steroids make you take punches better? I don't see how they can. holyfield is one of the toughest fighters ever. as much heart as anyone ever.
Christian Turner
>I don't see how they can.
I thought nips were supposed to be smart
Lucas Russell
look at his fucking neck and tell me that doesn't help taking punches
Bentley Russell
There's literally a 30 for 30 about him: Chasing Tyson.
Jaxon Morris
Tyson biting his ear is probably the most well known moment in sport's history.
But you're right, they probably don't remember HIM, just that Tyson bit some dude's ear.
Jaxon Stewart
Recommend this
Holyfield was too mentally strong for Tyson to bully and he knew it, you can hear how shook he was when Mike talks about him
Kevin Campbell
What did his ear taste like?
Julian Allen
Chicken.
Michael Young
Holyfield was David Haye level, good but not great.
Anthony Green
Holyfield is rated as the greatest Cruiserweight of all time and a top 10 all time great in the Heavyweight division.
