Tyson/Holyfield Sparring Session

True

 

Maybe because Holyfield wasn't a heavyweight.
Lennox and Mike were always heavyweights.

Cus knew a lot about boxing. But whats so genius about that prediction?
Imagine you're a trainer and you travel from place to place. You see a lot of amateurs and two out of 100 seem to stand out the most. Of course you say that those two will eventually meet when they turn pro. Even if it's just to motivate them.

 

Yeah, Emanuel Steward gave Holyfield a chance in the 1996 fight if it went a few rounds, but he seemed to imply that Tyson would win quickly.

''I don't know if Mike is prepared for a grueling fight,'' Steward said. ''Holyfield is better prepared if it's going to go a few rounds. Mike, we don't know. I think it will go only two or three rounds, but there'll be tremendous excitement. And I know that Evander is a big-time fighter. He gets up for all his big fights. Forget the ones that weren't.''

Holyfield turned it around with a big left hook. Even then, same old Holyfield.
