    If Holyfield is overrated then this sport is not for you.

    I recommend shaving your head bald, buying six packs of beers and downloading some UFC trash.

    Yeah you just watch the Bowe fights and see Holyfield go from 205 to a monstrous inhumanly possible 217. Oooh. You got me! It's called muscle pal but you wouldnt know anything about muscle now would you fat ****?

    Every fighter was heavier later on in life you dumb ass.
    Foreman started at 212 and went to 275 at one point!
    Tua was 200 pound in his debut and went to 245. Lewis was 223 and went to 252. It's called muscle.

    Holyfield was outed by 2 respected Sports Illustrated writers with no agenda.

    What respectable source said Lewis was on steroids?

    I'll wait......:deal

    Anyone with eyes and a brain. Just stop there are tons of boxing and sports writers who thought Lewis was on steroids and I dont know if he was because it was never proven. But you guys are trying to discredit Holyfield with unproven BS all the time. It works both ways. Holyfield was never outed. If there was no actual proof there is nothing. Imagine this was a court case. What proof do you have? 2 writers from sports illustrated? Yeah good for you,that's not proof. That's called speculation. Holyfield never tested positive.

    Mike Casey wrote this in his article:
    "Eric Jorgensen (friend and boxing writer) also has problems in warming to Lennox. “One wag wrote that Lewis was the only fighter he ever saw whose footwork got better when he was on ***** Street. I love that and it’s partially true. His strength was immense, though obviously enhanced by steroids..."

    Mike Casey was former editor with the Daily Mail Business Group in the UK, Mike is a member of the International Boxing Research Organization (IBRO) and an auxiliary member of the Boxing Writers Association of America.

    Holyfield a G beat Tyson,Foreman,Bowe,Holmes,Moorer,Mercer,Rahman,Ruiz,.
    The only 4 time HW champion.Greatest CW of all time. He was a ****ing warrior and anyone that disagrees GTFO.

    Also He never was proven to be on steroids.

    I'd swith #s 1 and 2, but I still like Holyfield, even though I agree he gets a bit more credit than he deserves. I worry about his health. I'd bet his brain is basically mush by now.

    what about the time he one punch KO'd the HW champ and became the HW champ? What about the fact that he stopped every HW opponent he faced in his first 3 years at HW? Yeah I think I just ****ed you in the ass.

    Believe what you want. Nobody has anything on Lewis, nothing. He didn't have a false name on a steroid contact list called "Len Louis" and he didn't answer the phone when the number was called.

    The dirt has been exposed on Holy.

    Better footwork on ***** street as a sign of PED use and being really strong is the most ******ed thing I've ever heard. You actually hold that side by side with the Sports Illustrated article?:lol:

    While i don't believe Lewis as on steroids either wouldn't it be possible someone set him up why the **** would he put his name as evan fields if he could change why not make it something recognizable from his own.
