    Holyfield always got the best version of the guy because everyone thought they could beat him but Evander always found a way

    I had Mercer two rounds up going into the 8th, it was the knockdown & Holyfield's last min rally which edged it for him.

      Yes Holyfield would often do that during his peak years, the sign of a great fighter

      Yes it was very close for the first seven rounds but Holyfield sucked it up as he often did in the closing stages.

    Holyfield fought everyone, unlike Bowe and tyson and I came up a tyson, Morrison and lennox lewis fan, but to holyfields credit he ducked no one, and fought so many wars against the best of the best, would've liked to have seen him fight whiterspoon only because he fought everyone else

    The announcers had it closer than it was. They were fawning over Mercer’s occasional right hands that were largely parried or slipped and countered with crisp, accurate left hooks to the head and body. Holyfield outclassed him getting the better of every exchange throughout. The judge who gave Mercer 3 rounds got it right.

    Mercer was doing really good up until the later rounds, where Holyfield took over. Would have preferred to see Tyson vs Mercer before he got a shot at the WBC title.

      Briggs & Klitschko knocked Mercer out, albeit an older version, later on in his career.
      I had Mercer two rounds up before the knockdown, it was Holyfield's rally in the last two rounds that saved it for him.

    If fighters are not knockout artists they will need to have staying power in the ring & take more punches over their career. Tyson avoided this punishment by knocking out most of his opponents early in bouts. Holyfield was not a knockout artist & took a lot of punishment.

    Holyfield has a great jab, but didn't use it in this fight. Evander used a double and sometimes triple jab in his win over Riddick Bowe. Nice acting job from Mercer at the end 😅 actually pretending to be upset over the decision, as if he was robbed of a victory.

      @peterhaye8537 The fight may have been close on your scorecard,. On my scorecard, Mercer needed a KO to win by the 8th round. But the Ray Mercer vs Lennox Lewis bout was much closer.... that fight could have gone either way.

    Tommy Morrison was on the juice and his trainer told Mercer let him wear himself out and then knock him out and that’s exactly what happened. Holyfield is not on the juice and if Mercer thinks that he is he’s mistaken.

      Bro give me a break he was only 209 lbs. Stop it. Maybe the most underrated boxer of all time. Best cruiser of all time. Only 4 time heavyweight ever. In his prime he beats Lewis imo too. I mean he was washed and beat a prime Lewis imo the first time. Holyfield would be a problem in any era. I have him top 5-7 of all time. Holyfields skill set, counter ability and IQ was ridiculous
      He fought literally everyone. Had absolutely NO FEAR. And happened to have one of the best chins ever
