    So are most fighters....Dirty is dirty, if you lead with your head its dirty if you lean on the back of someones head in the break its illegal, if you hit in the back of the head it's illegal, if you hold and hit its illegal.....

    I prefer calling it crafty since most do it......Opinions are opinions and I certainly respect yours

    Evander is an alltime great and at 43yrs old he is still in tremendous shape and ready to fight which is a Holyfield trademark of consistency
    True, but it became Holyfield's trademark and he kept using it towards the end of his career....the headbutt.
    Lewis had to specifically train for Evander's boring head so he wouldn't get smashed in the face, that's where Lewis's uppercut came in.
    Evander had alot of heart, but as i said the guy was a dirty fighter...

    Evander is not dirty fighter. He just comes to fight , and he won’t be bullied by fighters like Mike Tyson with all his B.S.

    I have never seen him intentionally use a head butt in the ring ever. that’s way over exaggerated like a urban legend . everyone that claims it happed if you look back are the ones that were the culprit in the first place . I would like you to show me an example of an intentional Holyfield Head butt

    [youtube=425,350]gXtnjJ0_g8k[/youtube]

    Tyson would later claim Evander Head butted him ! LMFAO !

    Evander is a hell of dirty fighter....c'mon is not who is the more dirty one (tyson, evander) we're only looking at the facts...this man should have been disqulified in the tyson fight...I mean the headbuttting was by far too intentional...he only got one warning in round 7....disgusting.

    some people are allowed to do strange things, holly with headbuting, Ruiz with clinching...

    NOBODY headbutted more than Tyson...Not to mention Mike was very good at low blows, arm bars and hitting after the bell...yet you can overlook those

    Be carreful , I'm not saying than mike wasn't dirty...I said that Evander was dirty too..

    agasint Foreman/Holmes/Lewis/tyson/rhaman he should had points deducted for sure.

    for the video, it's amazing, since I really thought that it was mike the victim...but anyway, Mike was kinda dirty during all his career, but holyfield too.

    I always liked his heart and shape...but using his head like he did...he's dirty, you know it, that's the game, if the referee says nothing about it...

    and saynig that he's still fit to fight, my god ne'd better hang them up;; beating bates ? I could beat this guy tomorrow morning before the work

    That your opinion . I have never seen Holyfield butt intentionally it may have happened un intentional as it does in most fights that take place in the world, 2 guys that want to win and are aggressive are going to clash heads at times, that just the way it is in boxing...

    Now that clip I just showed above is an intentional head butt clearly thrown by Tyson, I have never seen Evander do something that flagrant, and neither have you . its all fairy tales !

    Evander is not perfect. But it don't make him less of a Christian, everyone has faults mate, and let me tell you, boxing is a sport where those faults easily come to the surface. example : your in a clinch , your opponent whispers in your ear, " you momma's a bitch" and then elbows you in the face, its hard to keep your composure I don’t care who you are ! all kind of of shit going on in that ring that camera's don't catch. Once that bell rings its war, cut and dry.

    Side note : Everyone talks bad about Tyson’s behavior but I can understand the way he felt, everyone in the crowd booing at yeah and cheering for Evander, everyone in the world rooting against you. I can see how he lost it.

    Anybody that has a championship mentality , would feel the same way, when you have a competitive nature and things are going south. You want to do what ever it takes to win . Defeat is not an option.

    You didn't read carefully...I never said he was less of a christian...I said he makes himself out to be such a good guy...Holyfield would never admit to the things he does....This is boxing like you said...I have been around it 20+ years I know what goes on inside and outside of the ring.....It has nothinng to do with his actions in the ring My statement again was about the fact he acts as though he is above doing those things...That was the difference between him and Tyson

    O yeah, Evander has a huge super ego brother. LMFAO no doubt about that ! It's really more of confidence in himself though , ( Championship mentality) if you will, the great fighters have it. I think he does a pretty good job in the media , policing his ego though , unlike Mayweather and others that just get under your skin with all that tough guy talk. Evander is kind of of the silent ego guy, He is really the kind of fighter that gets your attention because Evander's confidence is genuine. where a lot of the talkers are trying to bullshit themselves into believing they are really good fighters. Cool Click this topic has made for some great chats !
