I've seen the fight and the big right hand Holyfield lands that STOPPED THE FIGHT was just 1 punch. But yes Evander out worked him on the inside all night long. Evander didn't punch that hard though, when compared to the best heavy hitters.

Frazier and Tyson were suseptible to the same type of attack though.

Tyson was a bigger harder hitting Patterson...he's an ok fighter but nothing close to he was in the 80's
Again, Lyle...we are talking about primes and you bring up the Holy fight.....its all relative and that one is just out of time....

that wasnt prime tyson....
