Why did Evander Holyfield have a better heavyweight career in heavyweight

Steroids Holyfield bulked up obviously plus Spinks had bad knees and was coming towards the end of his career.

 

Probably easier since he was coming up from Cruiserweight. Where's Spinks was coming up from Light Heavyweight.

 

Look at his first reign. 2 grandfathers and a near knockout loss. If Bowe took things more seriously and fought Lewis then as long as Bowe/Lewis stayed unified Holyfield wouldn’t have got a look in at any of the major belts to become a so called 4 times heavyweight champion.

 

This says it all really.

 

Evander Holyfield. Ben Johnson. Boxer. Sprinter. Both cheating *******s. Johnson had no choice. Holyfield did. Worst is Holyfield’s God this God that after Tyson 1. Even Pacheco got sick of it. First class horrible *******. Now he’s living off his ear ****. Never rated him. Right place right time. And from the good old USofA. Helps doesn’t it?

 

Spinks still became champion and wasn't a one n done like RJJ and tbf no one seriously ranks him at hvy. I think ppl r too harsh on him in regards to Tyson. No version of Spinks was beating peak Tyson that night bad knees or not.

 

Don’t forget Michael Spinks in Gold as a Middleweight. Difference from when Patterson won it is that the heavyweight division was a lot bigger.

 

Yes Holy was a cheat but ppl have an inflated imagery of roids too. They still won't give u talent or will to persevere which Holy had plenty of both. He had to in order to beat Bowe n Tyson. Again, not excusing cheating but Glass Joe aint becoming Ali by using roids is what I'm getting at.

 

Yes the size differences becoming bigger and the creation of the cruiserweight division do play a factor. Some go as far as to not even consider Patterson a hvy which is wild to me. He didn't decide when to b born its not his fault hvys were smaller in his time I still credit him for becoming a heavyweight champion when he did.

 

And even WITH steroids, a lot of the men he was fighting were STILL bigger and stronger.

 

I wouldn't b surprised if some were on roids themselves. Holy is just one of the few that got caught.

 

Yeah I think by the nineties it was common. Of course I have no proof

 

Why the hell would for example,Bowe and Lewis take steroids? Holyfield is a cheating piece of crap. Always chasing and copying. God this God that. The Holyfield grill.

 

Later, Michael Moorer rose from the Light Heavyweight division, and defeated Holyfield and became the champion, and no one accused him of using anabolic steroids.
I'm not defending Holyfield, I just think that out of the top 10 heavyweights, 9 take anabolic steroids.
