Chasing Tyson 30 for 30
- Thread starter Liquid
- Start date
He was chasing Tyson though.
Even Lennox Lewis mentioned it...if he never beat Tyson the public opinion would have just said "oh Tyson would have beaten you anyway"
Tyson was GOD status man.
The footwork 
Hopefully they air replay before I sleep tonight
Just finished watching on DVR. Great doc especially for someone like me who was young and only knew about Holyfield from their two fights back then.
Loved the documentary, ESPN does those 30 for 30's so well.
I'm an unapologetic Tyson fan, even more of a fan of his story even than of him as a boxer somehow if that even makes sense (even as a youngin I didn't think Mike was gonna live to be an old man but he made it) . .. Holyfield just had his number and likely beats any version of Tyson. Just seems like everyone eventually runs into a cat that just knows what to do to beat you even if it's underhanded at times
Holyfield had the better in ring career. .. no harm in admitting that.
That "big fight Tyson feeling" will live forever, it's what causes some of mikes fans to have blinders on myself included. Tyson is a lot like Shaq, all time greats but could have been even more had they stayed focused/disciplined.
Combat sports are to this day trying to emulate the big fight feel that came with Mike even when he fought overmatched opposition you HAD to be near a TV.

let me add my comments here too
finally got a chance to watching chasing tyson
so much nostalgia..90s heavyweight boxing/fukkery..it took me back to me catching all this shyt on a hotbox in my parents living room
detailing the parallels between holyfield and tyson on their way to their showdown in 92
the bullshyt with evander getting DQ in the olympics
holyfield vs dokes was classic
buster douglas was far from a bum...he was highly skilled...his issue was mental..but he put it together for one night
bowe-holyfield - great fights...i know have them on VHS somewhere
Fan man getting the beats...they let that nikka have it
holyfield-foreman was a dope fight
tyson damn near looking CW when he came out of jail
Forget how much struggle Holyfield-Czyz was
Evander showing off the new jack swing footwork
Don King and his colorful vocabulary...truly an original
..he was butchering the fukk outta words and names
Love Evander and his strong belief in himself and the Lord but that Benny Hinn shyt..nah
The bite fight..the monday after..this shyt was everywhere in the media..i used to listen to a morning show back then: bob and tom..they did a skit on this i remember that had me
well done 30 for 30..bravo
