      Evander Holyfield is a evil, cheating, sick, human-predator that cares about nothing but himself. He intentionally makes his headbutts looks accidental so he can win boxing matches via headbutts. Nothing the man did matters. He will burn in H e l l. Simple as that. Never cheat.

      Mama Holyfield was an amazing lady who told Evander what he needed to hear when he needed to hear it most mom's tell you what you want to hear not Mama Holyfield she tell you how it is and what you need not what u want Thank You Mama Holyfield for giving us the 4 time Heavyweight Champion of the World

    Evander Holyfield was a small heavyweight. He was a blown up Light Heavyweight/Cruiserweight

      All good things come from god free will is not always a good thing. And thats why his brain told him bite back thats not a good thing. Then to reference god talking about violence in or out of the ring i call bullshit on his love for god. I love evander loved watching him fight.
      My opinion is all. And to say god spoke to him is absolutely bullshit that did not happen and you can not prove it. Enough with the god crap holy smokes god this god that. And god gave him the ability to beat another mans ass well then apperently he is ok with the brain damage that he suffers from god giving him good hands such bullshit. I get you have faith in some shit that you or anyone else in the world can never prove. Its just excuse to be a violent person that enjoys beating on another man.

      @@bllackphillip it's sad yes but we had no idea what the damages of boxing were back in the day.
      ALSO coming from an impoverished background with EIGHT other siblings, what other options did Evander have? This wasnt a rich white kid living in the suburbs, politics aside, it was really fucking hard getting out of that cycle of poverty back then.
      Boxing was the only escape for men like that.
      Dont trash them for using the only opportunity he had. Would it have been better for him to slave away in a factory for some rich dude? Or sell drugs and spend 30 years in a penitentiary?
      Not everyone has opportunities like we do in this day and age.

      Just 70% brain dead by the sounds of it, this is why it’s sometimes a negative thing to have an iron jaw like evander had, having an iron jaw doesn’t mean your taking less damage it just means you can take a punch. The accumulation of blows evander has taken through this career has resulted in Cte which is sad. The best way to fight in the heavyweight division is Lewis’s style.

    Long time before the ear byte fight, I saw that Evander was someone very special as a human being, he has shown some greatness like Muhammad Ali. He is a rare gem, not only as a boxer and I am so happy to hear how much respect and love his has for his mother. Must be a kind of a mother any "baby" should have and the world would be better.

      Yup. That's another reason Floyd is so great and why young fighters should emulate his style as much as possible. He's in better cognitive shape than anyone else who's fought that much for that long.
      That's why I can't believe he's going to the UFC. He's either experiencing financial issues or is just that addicted to the glory. In either case why not just box some more? Maybe he doesn't want to blemish that 50-0 record. Who knows.

      Idk bro, his slurring was pretty noticeable. Especially at the beginning of the clip. Though he does appear to have a sharp memory and overall strong cognitive function. It's the part of his brain that controls articulation and speech pattern that seems to be damaged.
      As far as "overcoming so much", I totally agree. Mike Tyson himself stated that boxing is for underprivileged youth who need some direction and something to focus time and energy on to help them stay outta trouble.
      I know my son won't be boxing. He can learn self defence and some type of martial art, but not boxing or anything that consists of blow after blow after blow to the head.
