Amazing isnt it...........how do you get to a place in your head where a young Mike Tyson DOESNT intimidate you. Youd think youd feel at least some intimidation but Holyfield showed NONE.
He comes from a rough place aswell he knows his own abilities he probably looked at Tyson fights and realise Mike wasnt a great infighter something that happend to be one his main strenghts. Plus Buster knocked Iron Mike out and he made short work off him
Easy Grin buster Douglas fight was Tyson not taking Douglas seriously, but you are right Tyson was at his best on the midrange/ striker. In my opinion mike Tyson is the best midrange/ Stryker of all time. His inside game was a B- at best. Evander was an all around fighter but two things stood out from Evander was that he was an A+ Counter puncher, A+ inside fighter.
Daryll thats tbe best way ive seen it described by anyone and ive been having this discussion for decades. And yes for Tyson to lose to Douglas shouldnt happen because on his terms Buster also had terrible discepline a
if he hadnt fought Tyson . what would he have to talk about? Boxing is entertainment . and Iron Mike was the best at it . win or lose he entertained the best
@@HostileLemons what about the tyson ruddock fights or the foreman title fights, or tyson holyfield fights....tua v ibeabuchi, ....the dude is right...mike tyson cemented holyfields legacy....bowe dogged alot of fighters eg...tyson, lewis, ruddock, morrison and was smashed by golota twice...he only fought holyfield cause he was considered a small heavy with no power.....but who did bowe fight besides holy? bums thats who!
Rubbish a Prime Tyson would never beat Holyfield. Even Lennox Lewis believes Holyfield was his toughest fight ever and laughs at the Prime Tyson Arguments.
Holyfield was further from his best than Tyson was,how come nobody was saying Tyson was washed up when he steamrolled Bruno faster than he did the first time and steam rolled Bruce Seldon but as soon as Holyfield smoked him he's suddenly past it? Lol
@@AllUAreIsHistory how so? holyfield was active while tyson had a 4 year layoff only fighting 8rds in 5 years...and during his layoff he couldn't spar/train...all he could do was lift weights in prison which Cus D'Amato was strongly against his fighters lifting weights...so you're wrong, tyson was futher from his peak than holyfield...tysons skills started to erode in his first fight with Bruno , after king talked him into firing his D'Amato team for the likes of aron snowell...were tyson had no direction or discipline ....not like he had under Lott and rooney...king just surrounded mike with yes men and mike started believing in the myth that he didnt have to train hard because he was "unbeatable".....big mistake and that was the beginning of tysons fall from grace!.....holyfield is a great fighter and im not taking anything away from the man...he beat tyson fair and square.
Tyson came out in round 3 ready to kill Holyfield. Tyson knew he would have lost the fight cause of Holyfield headbutt he gave Tyson in round 2. No points was takeing off from Holyfield witch was bullshit to me.
+Tru4Life I just thought that Holyfield stood his ground and kept his head in certain position to claim the terrority. It was Tyson who wanted to move right into Holyfied and Evander stood his ground.
Thats not how i saw it. Holyfield is know for butting other fighters he was a master at it. If you look in the 2 fight you see in the 2 round that Holyfield butted Tyson so bad that it cut him up real bad. Tyson knew he had lost the fight after that cause the ref did nothing about it.
Tru4Life I just watched Chasing Tyson, and Tyson commented on it.he says he was in fantastic shape and ready for the fight, but Holyfield was a great boxer. I think what we are missing is the great footwork of Holyfield, doesn't get credited enough. I really saw him as standing his ground , its a style that might have heads hit, but he is tough fighter. Tyson himself has been accused of using elbows etc. I think every fighter has his bag of tricks in the game.
joey spinoza I'm a holyfeild fan but I definitely think evander used his head expertly he knew mike liked to come in and fight on the inside he was a good 2 to 3 inches taller than mike but yet he was crouching everytime mike came in and I'd say the damage he was doing was immense the fact that his head was shaven one clash of head with that would any average guy to sleep truth is he roughed Tyson up I still evander was the better boxer of the two. when Manny steward was training Lennox he demonstrated how holy held his gaurd two hands up with the top of the head out "watch out he leads with the head" Lewis and 6'5 had no problems with that
There were only two Headbutts. In the second Fight, second Round. And in the first Fight the sixth Round (And I dont mean the Fake Butt, which Mike was searching for in seventh Round). Not only one more. Nothing. Absoloutely Bullshit when Tyson Fans claims Holyfield use his Head as a third Glove. Evander just take shelter. Not more.
Yeah fair point but think it's also fair to say Tyson was not the same fighter against Douglas than in previous fights. Douglas was no where near Tyson as a fighter. Tyson came into the fight un prepared with personal issues and assumed he would ko Douglas early
Stuart Super Saints If anyone had personal issues it was Douglas, his mum had just died, his wife had just left him, his baby mother was dying of cancer and douglas himself had contracted a chest infection and was told by his doctors to slow down in training.Douglas had some crazy skills, he just hated training and dieting and was known to quit in fights, but when he was in shape and motivated he was a monster. 23 year old pre-prison Tyson under-prepared or not was a deadly fighter and Douglas totally destroyed him. Knocked him out with an uppercut then hit him with a 3-piece combo b4 he even hit the canvas.
'Destroyed him'? Don't think he did. I remember Douglas having the dodgy count in the early rounds. He was in trouble but Tyson lacked the preparation hence his fitness later. Just to confirm, are you putting Douglas above Tyson as an all time great? Are you related to James?
Stuart Super Saints Douglas won every single round except the 8th when Tyson knocked him down. by round 10 he had Tyson crawling around on the floor with a gold ball on his eye looking like he just got gang raped, if that's not being destroyed i don't know what is. And of corse you can't put Douglas above Tyson as an all time great because Tyson achieved more in his career. But that doesn't take away the fact that Douglas beat him down. Douglas had a great jab, fast hands, fast feet, he put his combos together beautifully, the combo that put Tyson down was perfect... but like i said the guy was a slob, lacked discipline, but on his A-Game he was a class fighter
The day I see him fall off and get slower and stops using the quick head movement and ducking low and bobbing left and right. All while setting up counters and openings. That’s when I see y’all can fight him. He doing Drugs and he not as disciplined as he used be when he was younger. You see more than the victory I see the full story.
@@AllUAreIsHistory Tyson was Hollywood by then I saw this documentary on here that basically said once he achieved Cus n his goal in 86 he slowly but surely slacked off n didn’t live in the gym anymore he definitely would’ve lost to Evander in 88 but 85-87 not at all
holyfield was a cheat. when he noticed he could get away with butting kneeing and elbowing a fighter he will and tyson repeatedly told mills lane in both fights he's butting and elbowing me and nothing happened no points so he flipped out.
@Not This Crap Again Yeah but I feel that just undermines all the work buster did that fight. I think people try to come up with all the reasons why Tyson lost rather than the most obvious which is buster himself, and the pure conviction he put into every punch. He just overwhelmed Tyson who lets be honest didnt face such an opposition before buster. Most were either scared or played it safe and clinched or keep distance. No one prior really gave it to Tyson the way buster did.
if you look at the replay when Tyson complains to the referee, its actually him who rushes in and butts and then complain. Yeah, he tries to make the ref disqualify Holyfield, being him butting actually
@@puuger hes right if you check the footage it was Tyson that lunged in, while Evander just stoop his ground and took tysons forehead in the temple. And it still hurt tyson more.
mills lane dq'd Tyson after bite one. then he asks the doctor if Holyfield could continue and the doctor said "yes". You could see Holyfield didn't want to go back out. Even there they were screwing him. that fight should have been stopped after bite one.
Absolutely right! You are the first Person who say this. They gave Tyson a Chance after he bites Evanders Ear off. So Tyson Fans dont need more excuses.
Never seen so many people making excuses for a grown man in my life. Tyson fanboys just cant face the facts the he got beat by a better boxer. Holyfield beats Tyson anytime. Prime or not.
When you use steroids you are a cheater-- thats an automatic LOSS-- Steroid users can NEVER perform without their drugs they are just synthetic athletes!!! Same with the Klitschko brothers-- one of them was booted out of the olympics for using steroids. They most definitely used their entire careers.

It's been awhile all love them man good job Mike and Holyfield buy there was a boy coming up in Ohio in the 80s. That was just Tyson but life got in the past and the name wasn't Buster Douglas
The headbutts changed the entire fight. There were no points taken away from Holyfield. When Tyson came inside, Holyfield lowered his head to butt. After several butts and Tyson bleeding, it changed the fight. Holyfield had a history for butting in tough fights. It's a shame.
Tysob lunged in with his head down. Holyfield kept his head down and stood his ground. Check the footage. Just because their heads clash doesn't mean anybody is throwing butts
holifield did not get prime mike Tyson! He fought broken tyson who lost interest in boxing...If holifield fought the tyson who beat spinks evander would have lost
@Laoch your existence is overrated! holifield was shit and most of his opponents were weak! Tyson would have destroyed him in his prime just like Tyson would destroy him now

@@mercygrace9314 quick reply there my dude. Tyson in his prime was taken to the final round by a bum like Jose Ribalta, was taken the distance by other bums like Mitch Green,James Tillis and Bonecrusher Smith 😂
That's easy for any Tyson fan to say because they never fought in 1988. I can tell you what did happen in objective reality. Holyfield dominated Tyson twice. In 1996, when Tyson fought Holyfield, Tyson was still well within his physical prime, and he was winning back his titles. Remember that Mike Tyson was supposed to walk right through Holyfield in that matchup, so don't act like he was even close to being washed up in 1996. He was the betting favorite by a large margin. Holyfield gave Tyson a boxing lesson twice in a row, and he left no doubt who the better boxer was.
what about the headbutting evander. your a Christian be honest!! Mike retaliated! he wasn't right in what he did! but you know you've butted throughout your career. your a fantastic boxer, so just own up!
Tyson fans really make Tyson look pathetic with all these excuses they keep cooking up. Or could it be they are NOT Tyson fans and their agenda is really to destroy Tyson's legacy. Tyson lost to Holyfield, twice, I might add, end of story.
Pretty sure he handled Tyson's power for 11 rounds in the first fight. Holyfield had an iron chin and was never intimidated by Tyson. He always had his number.
Lucas Maximus No. As he said, Tyson tried to box him, and Holyfield was a more skilled boxer. If Tyson would have used him power and strength like in most fights in the 80's, (during his prime) i would bet on Tyson. The head butting Evander clearly used to his advantage to, since he got away witj it every time. Tyson tried to outbox him and therefor lost. Would have liked to see a more hungry Tyson against Holyfield (during tje 80s), woulf have been a more interesting fight for sure.
Casper Olofsson So you think Tyson didn't land any big shots on Holyfield in those 11 rounds? The very first punch he threw in the fight was a big right hand, and it landed - but Holyfield didn't flinch. If it was Bruno, Seldon or whoever else, they would have shit themselves. Your money would be on Tyson, so what? Mine would be on Holyfield. Also, the headbutt thing is another lame excuse. In the interview in the ring after the first fight, Tyson admitted that he butted just as much as Holyfield did, and that they had nothing to do with him losing. In the second fight, he started complaining about it - only because he realised that he couldn't win, so he wanted an excuse to get qualified. Tyson had always been a very dirty fighter, right from the start of his career and throughout his prime.
Casper Olofsson What the fuck are you actually trying to say? It's just demented gibberish. You've still just ignored the original points I made. You said Tyson tried to box Holyfield in the second fight - OK, but he tried to knock him out for 11 rounds in the first fight, he couldn't, and he got knocked out himself.

Take your time, I understand you have a severely stunted intellect. Maybe you'll be able to grasp it one day. Good luck.
Casper Olofsson I don't think 80's Tyson was unbeatable, he just hadn't fought anyone good enough to beat him yet. I still would pick Holyfield, he was never intimated by Tyson, and had the skills, bravery, power and chin needed to beat Mike in his prime. I think Tyson in the 80's was excellent, but not the greatest ever by a long way. He could only fight in one style, although that style was obviously very effective.
one thing's for sure Tyson never intimidated him
