🤔 For some reason, I have a feeling he loves his mama....

You know as I see these looking back videos as we are here with the great Evander Holyfield and Evander describes how his opponent did in lifting his arm and he demonstrates it, I can see that happening its a classic move of that particular fighter in the midst of battle.. Its good that we can look back and see these fights as they took place back then Evander was a great fighter back in his prime he threw some great combinations and had an awesome uppercut we don't see that in todays boxers and he had the stamina to go along with it.. He's also right about choosing to get into a fight with a world champion for the wrong reason!

It's really because Evander fought for probably 10 years too long. He could have retired after the Lewis fights but pushed it with the Ruiz fights, he could really have retired after the Ruiz fights.

dont get me wrong Holyfield was good, but he was never this “ small” Monster or great heavyweight that people tryna say… just watch his fights against Larry Holmes and George Foreman, both REAL great heavyweights, even out of shape, old and way past their primes, they had a close match with Evander. Also if he was fighting with Mike Tyson trained by Kevin Rooney , Holyfield wouldnt be shit, and Lennox Lewis And Riddick Bowe both beat his ash.

It's really depressing to hear some of these guys. You can see how they would search warriors taking so many shots the head but the largest fall is got to be bowe. It's truly amazing how well spoken George Foreman is then, despite the fact that he knew that he was probably going to lose all of his memory and named all of his kids. George
