The Most Terrifying Knockout Beast from the 80's - Evander Holyfield
Спорт
In 30 years at the forefront, Evander Holyfield forever engraved his name among the greatest figures in the history of the ring. This is the journey of a man who battled during the uncompromising era of boxing, from the early steps to the status of a living legend in the realm of fisticuffs.

We had to reupload the video because the previous one got blocked by KZread due to the presence of scenes with blood. Sorry if you saw it, but this one has been our favourite yet and we want to keep it rolling.

Shame on KZread for outlawing blood in combat sports videos. Everyone in that ring is bleeding because they chose to be there. Nobody is fatally injured. It's just blood. Terms of service are getting more and more ridiculous by the day. Anyway, thanks for daring to reupload, might just watch the entire video once more 😍

100%. My favorite of all time, and underrated still, as one of the greatest all-time pound for pound fighters. I haven't done the math, but I'd bet that nobody fought more championship fights at heavyweight, vs. future hall of famers, at a greater weight disparity, and was completely untouchable at cruiserweight.

Ali is the only GOAT in heavyweight boxing. There is no other. He didn't brag about his greatness ... He just told us the TRUTH. Holyfield is great in his own way, but he is not on the same level as Ali.
Evander always carried himself like such a gentleman untill he got into that ring . Then he was just a beast ! Fast, precise, powerfull and loaded with heart ! Love em …
“he embarked on a quest to find the 5th corner”. you are the best boxing analyst of all time, your use of precise descriptive language and analogies are absolutely brilliant, you make the sport fresh again

One of the greatest boxers ever! A man with class and lots of heart and power! Thanks Evander!
Holyfield will always be one of the best faces of boxing. I watched him as a kid in the 90s and we loved cheering for the fellow southern gentleman from Georgia. He didn't play the goofy shit talking games that so many play now, he was generally composed, smiling and good natured like Foreman after 40.
Just watching the highlights of some of his fights has made me smile again and remember how good boxing was. How amazing was boxing. Thank you for the amazing times x
I respect the accompliishments of Holyfield. He was a light heavyweight compared to many boxers and still was able to retain victories over great boxers and never acted like a gangster badmouthing his oponents and maintained class throughout his career.

Without doubt one of the best boxers of all time to watch a great athlete.

Back in the day, the hype around Mike Tyson was so immense that people wrote off many boxers like Holyfield. Holyfield was fearless and could have given Tyson a run for his money if he fought him earlier. The video brings out the hard work he put in his fight to bar for many to appreciate in this day. Holyfield was one of the best boxers in the ring.

Hollyfield was never really considered to be a big puncher with devastating knockout power but he definitely got a few of his opponents in trouble with just one punch.. He was more known for out boxing his opponents and picking them apart round by round while taking many heavy shots himself.. Tremendous chin, tremendous heart.. They didn't call him the warrior for no reason..
Holyfield was a monster!! What a lot of folk forget is he was a natural Middleweight, he actually trained his way up to Heavyweight. He was giving away 50 to 100 natural lbs with a Middleweights chin and he still dominated. All respect to The Real Deal! Always Love You Bro!!!

@@FeezFBaby Well I guess that shouldn't really matter, b/c what one does at heavyweight isn't really indicative of how good a cruiserweight they are. Even though Holyfield is my favorite fighter of all time, I am undecided as to who is the greatest cruiserweight of all time, as Holyfield basically put the division on the map, and Usyk brought it back. As far as heavyweight goes though, there's no comparison, even if Usyk does beat Fury, b/c aside from beating Joshua 2x, (which of course is a great accomplishment and made him unified heavyweight champ), his resume at heavyweight is thin, with only Dubois, Chisora (I thought he barely won that fight, if that, maybe even a draw) and then Joshua whereas Holyfield beat at least 5 hall of famers at heavyweight and ran things for a decade.
The holyfield/ Bowe fights were classics.
Holyfield was one of the greatest fighters of all time! His accomplishments were unmatched, not only was he a great fighter he also had a great personality! He was a humble bad ass and everybody knew it.

My two favorite, and most respected fighters of all time, Foreman and Holyfield. Holyfield had a champions heart and always gave his all. I will add also that the fight with ol Big George only proves how great the heavyweights of the 70's and 80's really were.
Greatest under rated boxer of all times! And truly my favorite out of all weight class. My greatest of all times!🥊✊
I had the great privilege of watching Evander’s entire career, and all the greats of the time, with my wife and best friend, Kelly. We have now been married 36 years, with two incredible children, and soon to be 4 Grand babies! Kelly and I have shared so many great memories, and many have been Sports related. From Sid Breams impossible game winning score for the Braves (with us both literally jumping up and down on the bed), to Tyson’s rise to greatness (starting on Tuesday Night Fights with Sean O’Grady & Al Bernstein), to Michael Phelps, Keri Scruggs, & hundreds of others historical Olympic moments, the Minnesota Miracle, to the Gamecock’s incredible College World series wins, to my Georgia Bulldogs Back to Back National Championships…we have had an incredible Sports history. While she is a SC Gamecock diehard, she fully supports my Dawgs. In turn, I fully support her Gamecocks, except when they play my Dawgs. My daughter and her husband, who have a 3-1/2yr old son, are due 10/26 with a little girl. While my son and his wife, who have a 2-1/2yr old daughter, are due on 10/31 with a little boy…we have been blessed. I’m so lucky to have a wife who loves Sports so much. Even today, we set-up 3 TVs (actually 1 big TV, a smaller “bed” TV, & my iPad) to watch College football on Saturdays. From GameDay until the last west coast game is finished, only if it is interesting and we can stay awake. PS. Sorry to ramble and give you my life story, but watching this documentary on Evander just brought back so many memories I thought I would take the time to put my viewpoint into perspective.
