    Mike was whining about a problem he caused with his own style. Holyfield was more willing to fight after he got his ear bit off then tyson was period. Says alot about both fighters mental game.

    Thats your opinion. I disagree. I see the end of round 3 n I see a Tyson that wants to fight.

    What if Jay Nady was the ref? Would that change anything? Remember him in the toney Holyfield fight, "C'mon Evander don't use your head like that, C'mon Evander stop using your head like that" lol times x how ever many times.

    You may know a lot, you may know more or less than me about it-but just saying you do is not presenting evidence.
    And you may know a lot but be completely wrong about particular cases.

    I agree Holyfield juiced-while we only know beyond a reasonable doubt due to the Balco & other evidence, his sudden balness, heart problems + disproportionately eveloped traps (where there are more androgen receptors) are typical of PED use.

    But nothing about being "ripped" at CW suggests he was using then.
    Even if the limit had been what it is today, that does not suggest anything.
    With a very low body fat it is not hard for most to be very defined.
    Especially if you are using your muscles.

    Thank you very much T.L.!
    Although you accidentally his your response because you put it among my post.

    Being low body fat is the biggest part of great definition.
    Also genetically & due to activity some are more ripped.
    Some are not so defined at low BF.

    I have had a faint, asymmetrical 4 pack even when up to a 42" waist.
    Whether due to being a sit up champ when young & thin, &/or my proportion of subcutaneous vs. visceral fat.
    Certain groups tend to look more defined, & just the color of the background makes dark or light skin tones "pop" more or less.

    Tyson was a dirty fighter, he admits it himself in his book. In one of the two fights he tries to break Holyfield's arm in a clinch.

    Holyfield simply gave as good as he got which is more than 90% of Tyson's opponents.

    Could also be that after the high of fighting again wore off he realized the Jones fight and preparation took something out of him.
