BLTV takes a look back at the legendary skills of Evander Holyfield
Пікірлер
Evander Holyfield, all headbutt jokes aside for a minute, has got to be one of the most underrated heavyweights of all time. He literally fought EVERYONE in the division in the 90s, even though he didn't beat them all, he challenged them all and had good performances against them all while still being the smaller man in nearly every fight. The man is a true warrior!

@@ASSman864 he actually never outweighed an opponent he fought as a HW. I think the reason shorter people gave him more trouble often was his style, once the brawl began, was to sit in close and slug and with a shorter guy (or a great inside fighter like Bowe) that we dangerous. Speaking of Bowe, sorry but the Fury/Wilder Trilogy cant hold a candle to the Bowe/Holy trilogy. I have never seen big guys beat each other like that for 3 fights except for Ali/Frazier and Bowe and Holy were bigger overall in comparison as Frazier wasnt that big.

He is probably the most well-rounded heavyweight of all-time. Good jab, good footwork, good conditioning, good inside punching, good power, good chin, good strategy/ring IQ. The ONLY "weakness" he had was he was easy to hit because he was going to stand right in front of you and put YOU to the test.

Yeah most boxers have got good jab, good footwork, good conditioning, etc, etc, thats what happens to a man who has been training in the art of boxing usually, but depending on the kind of trainers they have and how they actually shape the boxer is what makes the fighter special, so at the time of when Mike Tyson was in camp with Cus D'Amata when Tyson was knocking all of his opponents out inside the distance, including people like Razor Ruddock, Thomas The Hitman Hearns, Tyrell Biggs (grudge fight), Michael Spinks, Larry Holmes & even Joe Frazier, all these fighters Mike Tyson fought & beat inside the distance in his prime years, way before he came up against Lennox Lewis & Evander Holyfield Tyson was destroying everyone, Tyson was unbeatable up until he came out of prison and his old camp had gone.

1:56 a few things you didn't mention in this fight of Holyfield vs Qawi. Both fighters punched over 1000 punches each, Holyfield lost 15 pounds of weight during the match and although he won he had to be rushed to hospital after the fight, just as an example of how tough an opponent Qawi was, he dodged 10 punches from Holyfied and then gave Holyfield a few on the chin in return. Holyfield said that was the hardest fight he ever fought. Also fascinating thing about Qawi is he's 5ft 6, which is rather short for a cruiserweight and heavyweight.

@@malicious_lifts True, I think Ali should have retired after the Shavers fight. I consider the prime Ali to be in the first Frazier fight, some people say the Terrell fight but Ali was at his nastiest in that first Frazier fight, he was fast and mean and throwing hard. He just fought Frazier's fight. He fought the second fight his way with movement but he wasn't throwing as hard. I think Holmes would give a prime Ali a good fight but I don't think he would win if Ali boxed and moved. Holmes didn't have great legs and Ali did and Ali would pull away in the late rounds and win a decision. That's what I think anyway.

Evander Holyfield, all headbutt jokes aside for a minute, has got to be one of the most underrated heavyweights of all time. He literally fought EVERYONE in the division in the 90s, even though he didn't beat them all, he challenged them all and had good performances against them all while still being the smaller man in nearly every fight. The man is a true warrior!
Agreed, he was the 2nd best heavyweight of the 90's, only behind Lewis.
Most the time it was the smaller men who beat him such as james toney, holyfield said he was always used to being the fastest
@@ASSman864 he actually never outweighed an opponent he fought as a HW. I think the reason shorter people gave him more trouble often was his style, once the brawl began, was to sit in close and slug and with a shorter guy (or a great inside fighter like Bowe) that we dangerous. Speaking of Bowe, sorry but the Fury/Wilder Trilogy cant hold a candle to the Bowe/Holy trilogy. I have never seen big guys beat each other like that for 3 fights except for Ali/Frazier and Bowe and Holy were bigger overall in comparison as Frazier wasnt that big.

He is probably the most well-rounded heavyweight of all-time. Good jab, good footwork, good conditioning, good inside punching, good power, good chin, good strategy/ring IQ.

@@tigerpawromero6173 Why does it suck ? I’m a fan of both Holyfield and Tyson, but Tyson was more famous because he was bigger then the sport of boxing.

@@izziman5028 because everybody wants Tyson to be in movies and t.v shows. he even has his own podcast. Other fighters don't get the same notararity like Lenox lewis and holyfield even though they were more successful than Tyson.
Yeah most boxers have got good jab, good footwork, good conditioning, etc, etc, thats what happens to a man who has been training in the art of boxing usually, but depending on the kind of trainers they have and how they actually shape the boxer is what makes the fighter special, so at the time of when Mike Tyson was in camp with Cus D'Amata when Tyson was knocking all of his opponents out inside the distance, including people like Razor Ruddock, Thomas The Hitman Hearns, Tyrell Biggs (grudge fight), Michael Spinks, Larry Holmes & even Joe Frazier, all these fighters Mike Tyson fought & beat inside the distance in his prime years, way before he came up against Lennox Lewis & Evander Holyfield Tyson was destroying everyone, Tyson was unbeatable up until he came out of prison and his old camp had gone.
@@TQuartet Tyson never fought Hearns or Joe frazier. He pummeled his son Marvis in first round though.

1:56 a few things you didn't mention in this fight of Holyfield vs Qawi. Both fighters punched over 1000 punches each, Holyfield lost 15 pounds of weight during the match and although he won he had to be rushed to hospital after the fight, just as an example of how tough an opponent Qawi was, he dodged 10 punches from Holyfied and then gave Holyfield a few on the chin in return. Holyfield said that was the hardest fight he ever fought. Also fascinating thing about Qawi is he's 5ft 6, which is rather short for a cruiserweight and heavyweight.
Damn, he's probably the shortest heavyweight in a long time
@@officialv8567 yeah and he was exceptionally good, one of the best Crusierweights ever. Less so in heavyweight due to the huge weight increase between heavyweight and Crusierweight (26 pounds within crusierweight unlike every other weight class which are around 7 pounds and less in weight difference), but for example he took George Foreman on 2 and half weeks notice and performed exceptionally well for that amount of prep time.
Yes, I’ve more recently heard about Qawi but I saw him against Foreman (first of him I’ve seen/heard) and he seemed to be doing quite well. I guess the accumulation of pain/punishment from George’s great strength caused him to turn in, but he seemed to have maybe more momentum in the fight. Tough stuff

Holmes and evander are great, but to imply that people just "cant take that larry beat ali" is bs, he beat a shadow of the man if even
@@malicious_lifts True, I think Ali should have retired after the Shavers fight. I consider the prime Ali to be in the first Frazier fight, some people say the Terrell fight but Ali was at his nastiest in that first Frazier fight, he was fast and mean and throwing hard. He just fought Frazier's fight. He fought the second fight his way with movement but he wasn't throwing as hard. I think Holmes would give a prime Ali a good fight but I don't think he would win if Ali boxed and moved. Holmes didn't have great legs and Ali did and Ali would pull away in the late rounds and win a decision. That's what I think anyway.
Under appreciated? What are you talking about? Everyone got absolutely mad respect for Holyfield. Me too, and I'm as much of a Tyson fanboy as they come. (If there is one thing that's annoys me about Holyfield though, it's the copious steroid useage, but maybe that's par for the course.) Cheers!
@Worldwide Remix to be fairer, he beat and bullied Tyson in every way. He was just way better. Prime Tyson or not.
Even with the size, I believe he would dominate today. The combination of his durability, work rate, ring IQ and power would be too much for todays heavy weight division.
No doubt. His heart and toughness alone would be a nightmare for current snowflake HW division.

great fighter and a great time for boxing fans. watching this reminds me of how good the 90's were to watch boxing
The craziest part to me is that you expect an undersized HW to be fast and super skilled to compete, but Holyfield also hit with enough power to hurt anyone in the division. That’s not just god-given power. He understood where he had to be to commit to power shots against big men.
Ali was one of the lightest heavyweights ever when he was 22. he was like 210. he knocked out 225 or 230 can't remember, big ol sonny liston and battered em the first fight.

@Sub if you are against Antifa and BLM In what way did I say I was a Tyson fan? I think he was good but not better than Holyfield, personally. And no shit he beat Tyson that first fight, never said anything otherwise. What I did say, if you could read, was about how evander used dirty tactics in some of his biggest fights and that no one really mentions that, they only mention how good he was.

Footwork, combinations, strength, endurance, distance, guard and strong will. Evander was the real McCoy, he had it all. A boxers boxer. Textbook class act in the ring.

Amazing video and top notch editing. Evander Holyfield is my favorite fighter and a legend. He will always be remembered for his great fights what a legend
One of my favorite all around boxers. Skills, stamina, strategy and power
Roids. He was caught. Talented...yes. Skilled....yes. But he was one the juice and got caught.
they where all on juice bro. @@St.Maurice
and not really. as he got a negative score at the drug tests@@St.Maurice
@@lapizza7175 Holyfield trained with Lee Haney who is a professional bodybuilder, Red flag number one. A company that was distributing steroids was raided, they found a rolodex with the name “Evan Fields.” They called that number, Evander picked up, Red Flag number two. At first Evander said that it was a lie, then said the drugs were for his father. Try doing Research before you run your mouth. Please share a similar story about Tyson. You can’t, so you’ll deflect.
Love you bro! The under appreciated Evander "The Real Deal" Holyfield! ❤️🔥👊🏼
One of my favorite fighters of all time. His fights were always exciting and he had no quit.
Excellent...! I congratulate you for this flashback. Evander is one of the best heavyweight that this SPORT (BOXING) has ever known! One love❤ from HAÏTI!
Goddamn began watching boxing in the 2000s and didn't know evander was this beastly. He seems relentless
If the 60's and 70's were the Golden Age of Heavyweights, the late 80's-2000 is the Silver Age of Heavyweights.
Holyfield is one of the toughest men I’ve ever seen. Riddick Bowe beat the living sh** out of him and he kept coming. In his prime Holyfield would have clowned on Vitor Belfort.
If he beat the living shit out of him, he would've won by knockout, not by decision
Holyfield would have knocked out Belfort in seconds if they were both in their prime when they fought. Holyfield was one of the toughest men alive in his generation. I think only George Foreman was tougher. Maybe.
The Belfort doesn’t count…no need to bring it up
@@anthonymack6412 Holyfield was never a knockout puncher. He would just spend 8 rounds beating Vitor until Vitor's cardio would run out just like in MMA and make the ref save him. It's like why I'd rather fight Tyson over Holyfield. Both will knock me out, but Holyfield would leave me EXHAUSTED and knocked out.
@@danielhenderson8316 True. He wasn’t a knockout artist, but 29 out of 44 victories were by KO. I’m sure Belfort would have made it 30 had he been around when Holyfield was in his prime. On the other hand, I can’t understand why a fight like that would even be sanctioned.
My favorite heavy weight of all time even tho he wasn't the greatest or best I loved him for his humbleness and tough attitude and never die attitude much respect holyfield
Another great video!! Thank you!!
Holyfield vs Foreman was such an amazing fight. I always loved Evander's style, all blood and guts. Not great for your health but it's so fun to watch.
Now that's realler than Real Deal Holyfield.
Such a well made video. Thanks
Best video I’ve seen in a long time thank you
The man was ALWAYS in top shape and ALWAYS gave 100%! His heart and his will to push himself through hell in that ring truly earned him both his nicknames The Real Deal and The Warrior!
One of my favorite fighters ever easily. Truly incredible. I wish him the best as a man, dad, father, son and partner mostly though 💖💛💛💚🧡🌈
Get outta here
Holyfield will always be a legend, and your a legend for making these films and paying your respects mate, you keep the legends alive.
Thanks for this amazing content
He's like the Hakeem. Of his era so absolutely technically sound and so so very good and still underappreciated when he should be heralded as one of the best of all times which he really absolutely is
Holyfield is one of my all time favs. But nothing to this day will ever match the excitement of getting ready to watch Tyson fight, in his prime, before the biting.
I appreciate the effort put into upgrading the video quality
im just a budding boxing fan bc of youtube and channels like yours. i enjoy these vids not only bc the fights and history, but also bc of stuff like that epilogue u put in the end. great stuff.
Giving him a license to fight Belfort was criminal.
Thats fuckin illegal !
@@nicolaisb2 you goof
maaaaan i was PISSED when I saw that
Glass chin Holyfield
I was pissed how no one knew who Vitor Belfort was and 50 Cent bet against him!
Evander and Lenox are my favorite boxer from that era, and I always knew if there were a boxer that could beat Tyson it would be him. Because he is not afraid of no one he threw combos at all time. He is so humble.
Bowe would fuck Tyson up too
Great video! The worlds needed a reminder..
Wow! that brought back awesome memories of my youth and reminded me why I love prize fighting 🤜👊✊🤛
Holyfield will always be an all time great next to the status of Ali and Marciano
Please nobody will mention THE SUPREME DURABILITY OF AN OLD GEORGE FOREMAN that dude stands everything what a beast
Thanks for the excellent content :)
Need more videos, enjoying them way too much!!! Keep up the amazing work😀😀
True warrior!!! At heavyweight he was almost always the smaller guy but he didn't dance.he brought the the fight to his opponent with relentless stamina & aggression.
not the biggest heavyweight of all time but arguably the biggest heart, legend of the game
Yeah, his heart is triple the size of any normal man. Roids do that.
@@amado4249 Oh look, another salty Tyson casual.
@@fishbmw theres a reason the channels profile picture is mike tyson. If you were a woman would you rather spread your legs for holyfields seed or tysons seed. Tyson ofc. Unroided, never lift weights, pure muscle. Big strong man built like a fridge, still jacked today.
Excellent video with fantastic use of upscaled footage
Evander was brilliant and his head butting was immaculate. Also he took some great steroids. A true legend indeed.
Now THIS is how I remember Holyfield and I hope others will see this and know what an amazing champion he was. He doesn't deserve to be remembered as a punching bag for a juiced up Vitor Belfort. In his prime, Holyfield could've dominated that fool with one arm behind his back. A true legend right here! The real deal. Edit: Ah, just got to the end of the video. The fight with Vitor left a sour taste in my mouth too, man. Really glad you made this.
happened to all the legends. Ali to Holmes, Fraizer to Forman. Forman to I think Tommy Morrison. Larry Holmes to Tyson, Tyson to Lennox Lewis, Roy to Calzaghe. it just happens man, they jumped in the ring, they took their beatings and it is what it is.
One of the best head butters of all time, but seriously he had amazing skills and an indomitable will
Her muscle shoulder like mountian hahaha
What a video. Thank you.
This legend fought everyone! When we are talking resumes and which boxer has fought the best opposition, Holyfield is up there man.
I truly believe he can beat anybody of the all time greats in his prime, sure he can lose too but he has a great chance, that’s how good I think he was. Sure foreman give him some trouble, but common BIG George could give anyone trouble even if he lose widely in the score. He is one of the most complete heavyweights ever with a great Chin and the best motor. Dude throw crazy combinations all day.
Man, I love the humility and development Mike Tyson's character has had since his prime. It's so unexpected. That Buster Douglas KO of Evander's will live forever though.
Me too!
I love that Tyson even came out later and admitted take all of the talk out of it but he was the best. I couldn't beat him
What’s this video got to do with Tyson
@@m-cra1370 13:30 Tyson telling the truth and admitting what we all knew after all these years: that Holyfield beat him (twice) and that's coming straight from Tyson himself. It is what it is.
@@micworthy20 anyone that’s not brain dead mike Tyson fan knows that
This Video honors a True Champion. Strong Chin...Great skills
Absolutely awesome fantastic great unique amazing fabulous wonderful talented gifted genius legend
He had an INDOMITABLE WILL. That's what separated him all time from Tyson and it showed in their two fights. 1989, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1997...Holyfield wins every time because those fights devolve in to a battle of wills and Holyfield had the superior will. The word gets thrown around wayyyyyyyyyyyy too much, but damn if Evander Holyfield truly wasn't a boxing warrior.
Jesus bro couldn’t even hold a title for more than 3 years
Even in 89? Dude wasn’t even in the same weight class or even a contender yet man are you ok?
@@ak42069 he couldn’t hold the tithe because he fought ELITE fighters unlike Tyson who has the weakest resume of the 90s
@@m-cra1370 Bowe isn’t an elite fighter. Dude was dying from disease most of his career
@@ak42069 😂😂 Bowe was elite, he would of destroyed Tyson
