Evander Holyfield couldn't even retire with grace!

[ykdadamaja]

... he just had to announce his retirement on the eve of the Tyson ear biting incident. What a prick.

But, Tyson was a better fighter and champion in his prime than Holyfield ever was. The Tyson he fought was a coked up jail-bird who spent more time in the bedroom with whores snorting coke and having orgies than he did sparing and training.

evander HALLELLUIA holyfield couldnt stop fucking his Holy Whore-iors, and went bankrupt with about 7 wives and 16 kids. Praise Jesus and Pass the Pork Chops! Amen.

Holyfeild was one of the biggest hypocrites to ever have a public stage. He came in the ring singing about God and such, but in private he was nothing more than a sleazy man whore just like Tyson. I love watching both men fight. They are both exciting fighters with a lot to offer by way of entertainment value. Tyson would've beat Holyfield if they would have fought in the early 90's like they we're suppose to. Not sure he would've KO'd him, but he would have won. The fact that holyfeild is just NOW officially retiring shows how pathetic his money managment was. This goes for so many fighters though and it is very sad. It's quite hard for me to understand how someone can earn over $100 million and be bankrupt. It truly boggles my mind.

I agree whole heartedly. He went in the ring trying to act like a hot shot priest or holy man or something, and all he did was marry, cheat, make babies, marry, chdeat, make babies, headbutt, headbutt, headbutt, marry, cheat, make babies etc.

Lol. As opposed to the biting his ear off. Something odd about a guy claimed to show no grace because he reminds people of the grace displayed by Tyson in a game he gave his life to. Bit of a cheap shot but its not as if he bit the mans ear off.

War Holy. A first ballet hall of famer.

99% of boxers are dumb.

Holyfield is an attention whore now.... go sit down!

you could say the same about Lewis, Leonard, Pacquiao, Duran, De La Hoya, Jones Jr, and countless fighters who try to get spotlight when they're time in the ring is done

People are seriously looking too into things that have nothing to do with a fighters career and then bashing them for it, Holyfield is the greatest CW of all time, and fought EVERYONE at HW during his time on the top, he even continued doing so after his prime, never did any cherry picking and always went after the best, you're making excuses for Tyson when Holy fought him yet you choose to forget that people were already calling for Evander to retire at that point, had been diagnosed with heart problems and overcame those as well, fuck you, Holyfield always came to fight, and still walks around in better shape than most the HW's of today and the last decade, more fighters should follow his approach and live up to they're moniker cause Evander was legitimately THE REAL DEAL

Man fuck the stater of this thread no respect for a legend man fake ass boxing fan you are dude. Holyfeild can grab attention if he wants to who fuck are you say shit about it dude. Oh Tyson was past it please dude Holyfeild was older, had more wars, had hart problems and hep b not mention at one point was a 20 to 1 under dog but know what happened he still kicked Tyson ass. Tyson is just a big what if who was good in a weak era and just another belt holder in the 90's who got his ass whooped by top guys Holyfeild being one of them. Name a man who fought ever top guy there was for 26 years you find it hard to find he was a champ in his 12 fights fighting a hof to get the fucking belt. He is the only man to move up to Hw and most consider top 10 atg hw he doesn't need pound for pound because he just went up and fucking beat the hw champ so there is no what if they were the same size shit to say i mean who does that. So he fucked a lot he was the god damn hw champ didn't need to rape to get laid also he never said he was perfect i am not religious but humans tend to sin but if they ask for forgiveness i think there in clear Holyfeild never said he was perfect or never fucked up.

Evander Holyfield was never a heavyweight, that was Evan Fields.

Evander was a phenomenal cruiser.

[Spicoli]

The luxury and ease with which fans judge a man outside of the ring is numbing. Any of you gents want to submit your own bank stubs and court dealing for scrutiny Tyson blah blah woulda coulda shoulda...well, he didn't. Holyfield hung on too long and should have gone after arguably beating the man wookie Valuev. He was every bit a heavyweight in competition and what he layed out in the ring against an era of heavyweights we only wish we had today.
