Why dont people remember him, bros?

>>76796175
No. He's remembered as one of the greatest fighters of all time, in two separate generations of fighting.

>>76796175
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.

>>76796175
Because he was one of the biggest juicers boxing has seen also Lewis, Tyson, and the Klitschko brothers were all better.

>>76796736

Tyson wasn't better. Holyfield had him shook and when they eventually did fight he beat him fair and square

steroids
fixed fights

>>76796175
>that pec gap
absolutely unaesthetic

>>76796819
Tyson was shot by then, Evander rained when there were no good champions to fight.

>>76796175
>retired in his 50's
You now remember he retired 3 years ago

>>76796906

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

>>76796736
>whines about steroids
>mentions the clit brothers
Lmao

>>76797020
But he didn't you fucking idiot.

>prime tyson

nope, not even close

>>76797091

Yeah he didn't fight Mike Tyson then because the mythical prime Tyson already got beat by Buster Douglas

>>76797174
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

>>76796175
To this day I don't know why people put Tyson over Holyfield

>>76797020
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.

Michael Spinks would've beaten Holyfield

>>76797399
And Lennox Lewis would have knocked out Bowe. Whats your deal?

>>76797418
Lennox Lewis was also a level above Holyfield

>>76796175
what lol? He's remembered as one of the greatest fighters of all time

Ducks Tyson until Mike is in prison for years = prime tyson

Shut the fuck up.

>>76797478

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

>>76796175
Why is believing in an imaginary thing relevant for being a goat boxer?

>>76797536
the idea of love is an imaginary thing and we still believe in it

>>76796175
Do you understand what the word prime means?

>>76797562
At least it can be judged by chemicals in the brain. But yea, romantic love is bullshit. Plantonic love is real though.

>>76797533
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.

>>76797608
there are lot of ideas your cannot prove but still "exist"

see perfection, friendship, justice, ego, universe, etc

>>76797160
tyson, plz

>>76797478
>duck tyson
Wanna know how I know you have no fucking idea what you are talking about, you idiot?

>prime tyson

>>76796175
Lost to Bowe
Lost to Lennox

>>76796175

literal who

>>76796906
>rained

He was only good because he was a head butting machine on a 3g/week steroid cycle.

>>76803858
he's talking about piss, anon

>>76797478

Yeah, Holyfield made no attempt to fight Tyson before he went to prison. Oh, hang on:

http://www.kofightposters.com/images/items/628/1.jpg

Because mike tyson had personality and his style was different from the average boxer.

>>76796175
I remember him disassembling based Maguilla at the Central Park...what a shame!

Marciano would beat all these plugs. My grampa saw him fight and says he was the best, the BEST.

>>76796175
>le headbutt steroid man

nah

>>76796175
Because they're casuals

>>76797252
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.

>>76796906
Brit who cannot spell 'reigned'.

Give your head a wobble you numpty

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.

>>76808485
>I don't see how they can.

I thought nips were supposed to be smart

>>76808485
look at his fucking neck and tell me that doesn't help taking punches

>>76796175
There's literally a 30 for 30 about him: Chasing Tyson.

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.

>>76808623

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

>>76796175
What did his ear taste like?

>>76809199

Chicken.

Holyfield was David Haye level, good but not great.

>>76809258
Holyfield is rated as the greatest Cruiserweight of all time and a top 10 all time great in the Heavyweight division.

>>76804681
Yeah he was strong as fuck.
