    When the number next to Evan fields was called by the sting reporter, Holyfield answered the call.

    You are right. I don't like or respect or give credit to convicted rapists. Tony Ayala Mike Tyson Mike Dokes Ike Ibeabuchschieye any ******. So yeah. Throw in mugging old lad,ies, acting like he wanted to boink guys like at his make you my b!#=h press conference, biting then getting in the ring and if not winning fast settling for decision s over mediocre competition. Or, folding like a lawnchair and yeah, it pretty much is a hate post about a petulant punk that never grew up and now shuts the hell up because he himself KNOWS he was not the fearless maneater (this time NO pun intended) that his disciples WANT AND REALLY NEED him to be to justify their own frailties. Ponder THAT friend. This has been fun. Happy Holidays! :)

    Comon' man. Tyson was a ****** while a teen. Then add the Atlas fact. All I said is true. What are you O.J.? You demean your own argument by denying the facts. I like arguing with you, but don't revise history to fit your needs. Tyson was scum baby. No fcukin' good to himself or society. THAT he does admit. Now why can't you? Btw UFC, I really meant it when I said I hope you have a happy holidays. Merry Christmas to you!

    More than Holyfield looking horrible against Czyz, I remember Czyz claiming Holyfield had an illegal substance on his gloves that caused his eyes to burn.

    Toney would own Tyson in the build up. He’d probably bring Tyson to tears.

    I don't agree, but anyhow I fail to see how that has any relevance to the simple fact that he was alert and following the ref's count against Tyson. Anyone remotely objective can see that's the case.

    What is the matter with you? How many times do I have to spell ot that it's not a knock?

    I'm on this thread saying it's a myth that Mike folded anytime the going got tough, that he did the best he could except for the Holy rematch, and I'm a hater? Your siege mentality when it comes to Tyson is just something else.

    Although Toney beat an admittedly old, past his prime Holyfield, I have a hard time believing Holyfield’s prediction on a Tyson Vs Toney fight.

    I notice fighters who participate in the “Best I Faced” series on The Ring website and print generally tend to attribute the best jab, power, footwork, speed, etc., to fighters whom they beat, rather than to fighters they lost to.

    Although I give Tyson a puncher’s chance against Toney, I think Toney safely diffuses that lethal bomb thrower and wins by UD or DQ, AFTER a build up where he manages to get firmly under Tyson’s skin.

    Toney is a mean, nasty dude and has to be the most relaxed fighter I’ve ever seen in the ring. Tyson’s inability to intimidate Toney combined with Toney’s love of psychological warfare put Tyson firmly behind the 8-ball even before the opening bell rings.

    Wow. We just went down the rabbit hole here.

    Haven't read articles from anyone of these guys, and if you actually followed what I've been writing I've been saying that all the talk about Mike being "a mental midget" etc is BS. And you make me into a hater? Do you have any idea of how crazy you sound?

    I don't think Douglas looked hesitant at at all. He listened, waited and got up. End all. If that makes me a "hater on a campaign" in your book, you got some serious issues.

    At least they haven’t yet accused you of being a fan of the:
    pugilist specialist, two time Olympian, 1988 Super, Heavyweight Olympic gold medalist, all blemishes avenged
    articulate, boring Lennox Lewis who only has to explain why he immediately retired and never contradicted himself by coming back to fight a lesser threat after his controversial win over a fellow HOF fighter instead of needing to explain why he twice resorted to biting his Masters, Holyfield and Lewis.
