    I didn't watch the Tyson/Holyfield live way back when, so I can't imagine what must have went through spectator's minds as it first happened, but as shocking and disgraceful as it was, I actually like that fight better between the two. At least there was some excitement in that fight.
    May vs PAC went pretty much how I though it would. I said before the fight there's no way PAC would win more than 3 rounds. Tyson Holyfield 2 was a let down by the way it ended but good on Tyson that cunt Holyfield is a dirty bastard !
    You're not suggesting that Tyson was a "clean" fighter, are you?!? Mike tried to break his arm in a clinch and was notorious for late punches and hitting on the break. What I love about Evander is that he didn't whine, he just gave it back...
    I don't think Tyson is as dirty as Holyfield yes Tyson did like to punch after people went down but he was just that aggressive I don't think he was trying to be dirty. As for the arm break it wasn't half as bad as people say and Holyfield had already started with the headbutts by that point. I agree Holyfield just got on with it but he was way dirtier that Tyson

    Look at the Savarese fight. The Botha fight. The Holyfield fights. Evander, much like Time Bradley, fights in an aggressive/ugly/tough manner and definitely doesn't try to avoid head clashes. Tyson on the other hand admittedly attempts actions he knows are against the rules, many with potentially debilitating affects (arm bar/torque). Haven't ever heard anyone claim Evander was even as dirty as Tyson, never mind claiming he was way dirtier.

    Comedy gold the belief Holyfield was just as dirty. Headbutts happen at one point or another in more than half of the fights we watch daily. 4 to 12 rounders, no names to the elite I guarantee you will see butts. Chewing ears, wrenching arms and lifting up, knocking over refs and uniformed security?..that my friend is an elite fraternity
