    This is pretty interesting if you haven't seen it before. I think it confirms what a lot of people here think about Tyson, but it's good to hear it from Holyfield himself.

    Yep and it also ****es all over the myth that Tyson didn't train for Holyfield. Mike said he wanted to beat Evander so badly to secure his legacy. Both knew how good each other was and it showed in their fight.

    Great video. I thought it was interesting what Holy said about Tyson losing much of his head movement after Rooney left. I've largely seen that as a Tyson fanboy excuse, but Holy saying it as well of course leaves an impression.
