Evander always has a Mama Holyfield lesson to share. Man to have a mother like that. We would all be champions at something.
Evander “ My momma said” Holyfield
Hilarious but true😅😂
Thats one Mommas boy you should never try to mess with
This is one of the better recent Holyfield interviews, he's hilarious and spot on, IMO. Holyfield also going Rocky 4..."You know what you gotta do...NOW DO IT!" He also said that once he got to a certain point (mid 90's), he respected his trainers but at the end of the day, "I was the boss in there". I always think of that statement when the crop of deluded Tyson fans cry that if Tyson never left Rooney, he would've never lost a fight, or Robin Givens, yada yada. The greatest get tunnel vision no matter what's happening in their lives. Hardly anyone realizes that Holy's mama -whom he worshipped - died in a car wreck 7 months before he fought Tyson. His brother Willie was murdered by shotgun by his deranged brother in-law while he was training for the Holmes fight. Throw in all the stress that came with having all those kids and wives/girlfriends and child support - and he still came in to every fight in shape, focused, and with a never-say-die attitude.
I don't think saying holyfield and lewis fought a shot fighter who was a shadow of his former self is being delusional. It's hard not to notice how at some point in his career Tyson stopped moving his head, switching stances to create angles, and so on. I even find his post prison fights hard to watch.
There's a good video about it by Rainy Day Boxing called "was prime mike tyson unbeatable".
You cannot conflate the two different conversations into one. One conversation is about greatness, the other is about who'd win prime v prime. You can still have both conversations which are fun to have. But when you start conflating them, that's when you get confused.
@@huguesh294Tyson was in great shape for the Holyfield fights and nowhere near shot, coming fresh of 4 solid and focused training camps. The Lewis fight, different story. Mike was overweight, disinterested, and honestly I'm convinced was heavily medicated and had no biz being in the ring.
Exactly. Buster Douglas' mom died just three weeks before his fight with Tyson. Pacquiao grew up in poverty, slept on the streets, and had to start boxing professionally just so he could buy rice to feed himself and his mom.
I remember Bowe pissing Holyfield off with the "good big man vs. good little man" shit. Holyfield said once, "that's cool, but I ain't a good little man - I'm better!" Always bothers me that Holyfield fought that damn 3rd Bowe fight with hepatitis b/c he was boxing circles around Bowe until he got tired so quick - and still should've had that KO had he thrown 5 more damn punches. Even he said that was the one time he let himself down in the ring, b/c he worried about how he felt vs. what he had to do. But, I doubt he ever would've gotten that Tyson fight if King and Co. didn't think Holyfield was shot, so I guess it all worked out. Also the fan man - I truly believe he was on his way to getting Bowe out of there at that point. Holyfield was an absolute masterpiece that night. Bowe was a great fighter when he was young and in shape.
Man holyfield is hands down one of the greatest boxer of all times. Anybody have anything to say regarding holyfield is just plain miseducated. Holyfield is in younger DayZ in his prime was a straight warrior!let's not forget how he was the first and only boxer who put fear in even iron mike. Three times world heavyweight champion in muti weight classes, plus holyfield damn near dominated the whole 90s. Plus the ultimate battle and war against Tyson scoring victories in both fights the first one being a TKO. Holyfield holded the world champion belt!for almost 3 yrs if not 3 yrs remained the number one boxer in the world until lewis took it from him. Tyson was number one in his division in the late 80's to the early 90's only for the fact he ain't fight any hall of Fame boxers doing that era when he was champion,plus if u know history when ppl state so many times that holyfield wouldn't have beat tyson in Tyson prime,but let me say this,Tyson in his prime has ducked holyfield in Tyson prime,so Tyson must have known something then in helping to promote a fight against holyfield in the early 90's when Tyson was in his prime. Tyson has ducked two more major fights in his prime. The fight against Riddick Bowe & Micheal moorer. Two other hall of Fame heavy hitters of boxing doing the90's era. Riddick Bowe hands down was the number in his division for a while being world champion by whippin holyfield twice I may add!the only thing that still have me mad with Bowe In sabotaging his place as world champion by doing something u sportsman like by disposing of the world belt in trash. Missing a perfect opportunity of fighting the man who beat him in the Olympics,he missed the chance of capturing history that may have been the best fight ever. But all and all Lennox Lewis became the top number one boxer and champ by the end of the 90,s
I love you Mr evander holyfiled you are my favorite boxer of all time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤♥️🥊♥️🥊🥊🥊🥊
Evander had a lot of respect for Bowe. He fought him in his prime 3 times and also fought Tyson and Lennox twice. He had a unique vantage point to say the least. Sounds like he viewed prime Bowe as the best of the three he fought. I think prime Bowe would beat pre-Manny Stewart Lewis and also would wear Tyson down. Tyson struggled against tall, boxer punches that has good chins and weren’t afraid of him. Bowe had a really good chin and rivaled Holyfield in his refusal to quit in the ring. I think Bowe would probably TKO Mike in the later rounds if they fought around 1995. However after the the Golota fight Bowe was shot. However from 92-95, Bowe - along with Holyfield - was the best in the division. Holyfield was basically implying Bowe was the best he fought as a HW while Bowe was still in his prime.
On a side note Evander fought Bowe, Tyson and Lewis a combined total of seven times with a record against them of 3-3-1 ( really 3-4 given he really lose the 1st fight against Lewis ) still not bad against the 'cream of the crop' in the 1990's.
And at the time Bowe WAS the best that Holyfield fought when those fights happened, what doesn't get mentioned too often is that Holyfield was well pass his prime before he fought Lennox and Tyson was pretty much totally gone before Lewis got him.
Not trying to take anything away from Lennox but he did as EH said got better with time under Manny Stewart while everyone else around him aged, but it is what it is.
Who do you think would win in prime Bowe and Manny Steward Lewis?
Lewis without question.
Holyfield didn't look as sharp against Bean. His head and heart weren't in the first Lewis fight, but he fought a good effort in Holyfielf-Lewis II - and I thought he beat Lewis in the second fight. Prime Holyfield v Prime Lewis I believe would be a competitive match, but Holyfield was so much quicker in his prime. He was around the same height and build of the two guys who knocked Lewis out - McCall and Rahman. I think Lewis would have come in, in top form against Prime Holyfield and fought a careful fight. I just think that Holyfield would have eventually clipped him with that constant pressure and fast hands, and gotten either a KO or TKO. @@lawrencescott1048
Interesting. If Lewis had been Bowe's opponent in 1992, rather than Holyfield, I like Bowe to win. Bowe was at his peak. He fought a great fight, giving a peak Holyfield all he could handle. Bowe was too well-rounded and too strong for Lewis at that time.
But, you take Lewis in 1995, he probably KO's Bowe at that time.
not in 95
What he’s saying is Bowe is the best heavyweight
I would go with Bowe but man it would be a great fight. The way he fought Holyfield man I don't know if anybody could've won that night. Bowe just went hard at all times. He took shots and he gave them right back even harder. True Lewis won in the Olympics against Bowe but completely 2 different levels. Bowe had gotten way since then 💯
Watch the Lewis Bowe fight again. If you did. Lewis' victory was not as convincing as many would like to claim. The match was very poorly handled by the ref from the word go.
Holy smokes!
Nothing but honesty coming from Holyfield. If anyone said these words, I would've been skeptical; save coming from the man himself!
holyfield always has intelligent things to say. he talks slow and stutters but what he says is always accurate.
Most underrated boxing champion,real deal evander
So correct about Manny Steward turning Lewis into a great fighter.. I really believe that pre-Manny Lewis gets startched by Tyson, Hokyfield, and Bowe. He'd have a punchers chance but he fought exactly like Holy described here. Manny taught him how to best use his size and reach to control distance, avoid big shots, and exhaust guys using his weight, which was much heavier post-Steward too.
Bowe would have beaten Lewis
Lewis would make bowe his bitch
The riddick bowe that beat Holyfield the first time beats the best version of Lennox Lewis IMO. But overall Lewis is the better boxer, also beat him in the amateurs.
@Greenfields 12 Yes way, Lennox got knocked out by a couple of bums not sure why this version of bowe wouldn’t be able to
@@greenfields1221 "Lennox was not focused against McCall in 1994 or Rahman in 2001" And? Is that supposed to be a legitimate excuse?
@@greenfields1221 "Bowe also got totally outboxed twice by that big lump Golota, and relied on Golota getting himself DQ to save him from loss" If you actually watched the fight, which you very clearly didn't, you would've seen that Golota was giving Bowe his best shots and Bowe was not going down, add to that Bowe was scoring punches on Golota that were hurting and frustrating him. Golota didn't just DQ himself with nut shots, he got an edge because he was throwing nut shots at any moment's notice throughout the fight. And this is not even Bowe in his prime. Bowe knocked Golota down in the 4th round in the second fight. If it was a fair fight, I don't see Golota making it through all the rounds without being knocked out.
How is that comparable to Lennox Lewis getting legitimately knocked out fair and square.
Emmanuel stewards lennox Lewis will smack riddick bowe all across the ring no one is close to that Lennox Lewis
@@makaveli3189couple of bums ? Only two people Oliver McCall and hasim Rahman and Oliver McCall was beating up mike tyson in sparing and that a prime mike tyson in 1986 and 1987 so he isn’t a bum
Lennox was better with Steward, he was done with errors, but pre Steward Lennox was a savage, if he smelled blood the fight was over.
Holyfield beat Lewis in the 2nd bout but got robbed because of the stink over the first fight when Lewis got robbed.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
No he didn’t,watch it back and be objective
What kind of bullshit is this??
Score the fight round by round and even if you give Holy every close round possible you still can't score him the winner.
I 100% Agree
Holyfield didn't beat Lewis 2nd fight, yes it was a lot closer than the first fight but holyfield still lost
Evander "You Know"Holyfield
Lennox was from a different era from all but Bowe, because he was such a late bloomer. He was scared of young Bowe - and Bowe was afraid of Lewis, it's a shame but the truth. True champions don't think of the risk of fighting the other best fighter out there, they demand it and screw promoters or sanctioning bodies. The people know who their heavyweight champ is, and historical this is one of the top 10 fights that should've happened and the only one that didn't. It may have been a snore cause styles make fights, but it turned out to be the beginning of the end of the heavyweight division.
If you take them all when they were still undefeated Tyson, Bowe, Holifield and then Lewis. I judge matches with fighters from different era's in trilogies - who would win a 2 out of 3 series.
Kevin Rooney Tyson > Emanuel Stewart Lewis > Prime Bowe > Post Prison Tyson > Pre Emanuel Lewis
That's far too complicated 😕.. prime Mike loses against prime bowe, and prime Lewis.
@@jaydebeer7251kevin rooney tyson win all
Kevin rooney tyson 🐐
Holyfield was good but we all know why bowe didnt fight lennox lewis bowe would have battered sensless
Wrong. Prime Bowe was a beast. He killed ole headbutting ass Holyfield.
It’s not the case at all. They were both being stubborn in negotiations. Lewis wanted a 50/50 purse. Bowe Held all 3 belts and wasn’t doing 50/50 split.
So it went both ways. Lewis could have settled for less too.
@@skepchica LMAO
@@skepchica This. He would've fared much better than how Vitali Klitschko have fared when he have fought Lewis. His power punches are accurate and he's too fast and agile for a heavyweight beside the fact that he has a good chin. If he fully dedicated himself to the sport he would've ruled the heavyweight division a long time.
@@skepchica In their 1st fight Bowe hit Holyfield in the nuts 10x, and in the back of the head for the BS knockdown. Holyfield was never warned for anything whatsoever regarding head stuff in that fight and the myth of his intentional butts are just that - a myth. That said, had Bowe fought Lewis in the fight or two after he won the title, I believe he wins - far to skillful for Lewis back then. It wasn't until The Pugilist Specialist hooked up with Steward (the man who engineered McCall's win vs. Lewis) that he became a great boxer.
It's annoying that now bowe hes broke hes calling out mike tyson. Maybe if hed done his job properly hed be well off now.
is he in training? does he have a fat lip or something?
nah he just black and they have fat lips.
Nobody beats Lennox.
They might.
Kevin rooney tyson
@@Marcus.the.baller Lost in sparring young, lost in pro fight old... Nothing shows he would have won. Anyway he always said he was not ready for Lennox Lewis, you can find video interviews where he says that.
Brother lennix himself admitted that tyson beats him in sparring but only the last day he got better of tyson in onterview to joe rogan lennox said that at first few sparring matches he stayed away from tyson but only got better off him on the last day so it showed he lost in first few days
Prime tyson under rooney has beaten tyson in sparring most time and only lost once in the last day and tyson had defeated tyrell biggs easily whom lennox lost in the 80’s in the olympics
