:russell:

ol "his prime was only 1988-1989 during the summer solstice with paid in full playing in the background" ass nikkas


I expect a lot of people to say that tonight while watching the doc


whats funny is that Tyson was the favorite in the first fight in 96


nikkas would look at you like:rudy: if you said Tyson would lose to holyfield


walk into a barbershop back in 96 and say holyfield will win and see what type of reaction you would get:heh:


its funny how people change their opinion after a fight:russ:


but but but he wasn't at his best


but but but he wasn't in his prime.

Holyfield headbutts everybody that wasnt a special strategy for Mike :mjlol:

:mjlol: for real.

Against tall rangy boxer punchers like Lewis = Holy headbutts

Against defensive slicksters like Bryd = Holy headbutts

Against punch and grab ass nikkas like Ruiz = Holy headbutts

I hated Holyfield for that shyt, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do in order to win a fight brehs. :manny:

nikkas said Tyson was past if for the Holyfield fight, but Evander was just as past it (if not even more and was older too)

Holyfield was just all wrong for Tyson and a shyt load of other boxers too. I do think a younger in prime Tyson does better and has a better chance of winning, but then you gotta match that up with a younger in prime Holyfield if cats wanna be fair with shyt.

nikkas wanna match up prime Rooney trained Tyson from 83-86 against bad heart Holyfield from the mid 90's. :what:

Nah, Holyfield needed to use headbutts and everything else to beat up an already washed Mike.

All that bobbing and weaving would have had Holyfield looking foolish. Just look at the old footage man, Tyson NEVER moved like he did post prison like he was dancing before. Tyson's defense is one of the most underrated parts of his prime. It wasn't just raw power

it's really hard to say, if's and woulda shoulda coulda's are for losers

at the end of day holyfield is the better man

Evander holyfield is an all time great..GOAT cruiserweight and a great heavyweight...he pushed and challenged his greatness...see unlike floyd mayweather evander ' s the type of career i get nostalgic over...even moreso in the state of the heavyweight division today

He was the real deal :mjcry: :ohlawd:
