Holyfields greatest fight

[BIG H]

I terms of enjoyment, the 3 Bowe fights and the first Tyson fight are untouchable imo.

Most impressive Bowe II and Tyson I

1st bowe fight and 1st Qawi fight cant be beat in terms of all round excitement if you ask me.

Im going on his greatest performances!!

You've got to go with the first Tyson fight. Being written off after the third Bowe fight. So they figure what the hell he's all washed up now. My god what a performance.

Love the Bowe fights, but the first Tyson fight had me on the edge of my seat and will forever remain one of my greatest memories of watching boxing.

wasnt a prime tyson he beat though was it??

It was a guy who had come out of prison, had aged a good few years and was always gonna be beatable to anyone who could get the fight beyond the 3rd round.

It was an incredible performance from evander but it wasnt like he was totally written off ala:douglas. Many within the game who had followed holyfield throughout his career gave him a chance!!

I know but as a kid, when I saw Tyson walk to the ring he had that invincible aura around him, and I saw no way Holyfield was gunna win. It was just stunning to see Tyson forced to look so humble by a guy many said was passed his best. I have the Bowe fights and Tyson fights on DVD and even in the Bowe fights the commontators were saying Holyfield was passed his best and should retire. The commontators said it in the 1st Tyson fight too. I remember them saying a shitload of late money got put on a Tyson first round KO. For me I found the performance stunning, that Holyfield could take the shots and come back with better.

I was a kid though, and your memories always stand out as being more nostalgic as a child. Its one of my favourite moments in boxing.

thats too true

i was only about 13 at the time and naturally didnt get up to watch it live but when it came on the news the next morning every single person in my household was completely gob smacked as the media made it appear as if it was a routine tyson blowout.

Evander didnt half have to take some punishment that night though. kinda like how margacheato did against cotto

He WAS totally written off - Tyson was 1-22 odds on!!

[JohnnyKickAss]

Evander Holyfield vs Michael Dokes was the best heavyweight fight I've seen...I'm surprised nobody mentioned that fight before..

[Britkid]

You done well to get 1/22 on Tyson; as I had a tenner on Holyfield at 24/1, which I guess makes Tyson at least 1/28....

As for the thread:

I always liked the first Qawi fight; then Dokes and the first Stewart fight. I was also impressed with the Parkey fight, when he showed perhaps for the first time that the talk of the move to Heavyweight, maybe a success.....
