I like how people make exuses for Tyson losing but did you know Holyfeild was older and been through more wars and had a heart condtion since the Moore fight were the doctors said he should never fight again. Yet he goes on to make Tyson his bitch and capture the title again Holyfeild had something Tyson never had which is why he did so much better in the world of boxing you want to know what Holyfeild had Holyfeild had balls somthing Tyson never seem to show and that why Holyfeild managed to win the fights that people never thought he could and tell you i respect that man i grow up watching him my first fight i ever saw was when Holyfeild beat Tyson and i am a huge fan of his and hope he can turn back the clock and show everyone why he is one of the best to ever step into the ring and why he is one of the greats in the heavyweight divsion.

"Dr. Margaret Goodman, now the chief ringside physician for the Nevada State Athletic Commission, told the SI reporters that back in 1994, when Holyfield evinced evidence of a heart defect follwing his loss to Michael Moorer, commission doctors believed the malady to be consistent with HGH use"

I think all of this slighting Holyfield on grounds of his personal marital,family dealings is pretty weak!.Start a list of fighters and you will find many indiscretions and questionable behavior.....as you may as well with everyday people pointing fingers.Who the f!!!! are we to past judgment on a stranger.....talk about playing the hollier than thou role?

As with the Religion be promoted ,wearing his faith on his sleeve.Give me a break.At time it seems this sport and a mans faith go hand in hand...and Holyfield certainly is not the first nor the last fighter to praise what ever higher power they follow in times of victory and defeat....again the list is endless.A man drops into a corner prior to a fight,Asked about retirement....its in gods hands,Bible versus on a pair of trunks is not isolated by any means.No matter if its Holyfield singing hymns coming into the ring or Tyson praising Allah repeatedly on that same stroll.....seriously?

As for Tyson vs. Holyfield 2.....Tyson knew exactly what was coming his direction,getting KTFO....from the moment he was shook off of a double left hook/right hand and backed up in the 1st round the writing was on the wall.And if you want to talk about dirty tactics...get a grip!who initiated the first head butt,Tyson in the first round to Holyfields gut....knocking Holyfield back wards.Tyson was looking to the ref on numerous occasions,pissing & moaning instead of standing in and fighting like a champion.And there is absolutely ZERO excuse for that foul tirad he went on....be it locking arms and twisting ,Biting,swinging at cops....man that is tired!

Spicolis 100% correct. Holyfield can father as many children as he wants to by as many women he wants. He can thank who ever he wants for his victories. He famous for being a great fighter. Judge his fights not his character outside the ring. Boxing is not the Miss America Pageant, he sholdnt be expected to be a perfect person and do and say all the right things, hes expected to do his job in the ring and perform as best as he can. He has always been respectful in interviews, so he talks about god a lot, does that really offend people? Should he be thanking the devil? Or is he thanking the wrong god cause its not your god? Its ridiculous. Who cares what his beliefs are.

I love how trainer monkey calls Holyfeild dirty fighter and seems to not like what he does but he seems to praise Hopkins who is about as dirty if not worse and as for ross and headbutting you almost make it sound like it is ok for Tyson to bit Holyfeilds ear off which i really dont get dude.

If you ever thought I didnt say Hopkins hit on the thigh,you were inhaling. But I know if it was me,Id rather be hit on the thigh in a clinch then head butted.
Ref's dont stop fights for thigh cuts
