Just watched this on youtube, still watching it Man i never knew Holyfields early life had so much similarities with Tysons. My respect for Holyfield increased tenfold Also i didnt know that he and Mike were pretty close during their early years? does anybody else have any other information about this?

No probs, but seriously watch the first video and tell me you could easily replace Holyfield with Tyson in that video and most of the circumstances would be exactly the same would you know the music that kicks in 0:24 on the first video?
Holy and Tyson really didnt share the same type of childhood. Tyson's mother was a drug addict and a freeloader and not a strict disciplinarian.
I'm more inclined to agree with lefthook, but i see what you mean in a broad sense. Yes, what's it called?
No but watching the video, the parts which talk about Holyfield not knowing his father at all, the old white man meeting him and telling him he will be the heavyweight champ of the world etc sounds Tyson like True Tyson came from a much worse background
in the 4th episode, at 7'20'', it looks like Evander going down against a white opponent... or am I wrong?
Wow Evander wanted to be a football player 'but was too small', does this give credance to 'the best HW boxers are playing football and basketball'
