Look: April 1991 Evander faces off against Big George Foreman, appears to sporting a full head of hair... 7 months Later he faces Burt Cooper and has a Manu Ginobli like bald spot starting to form on the top back... By late 1992 when he faced Riddick Bowe he had the full on Friar Tuck cut going Seems a rather fast progression into baldness
In hindsight, it seems totally plausible but then stress can also make you lose your hair and as exhilarating as it is to win the world heavyweight title, it can definitely bring it's own pressures and stresses as well so apart from Holyfield and his team, who really knows for sure?
Evan Fields is /was the most blatant PED Heavyweight PED abuser, period,.......but but but Morrison,lol, he was a saint in comparison to Holyfield.............when Lee Haney is your strenght "coach" you know the gig was up. Further, Lou Duva always complained, after Holy won the title, he just did not want to spar anymore and had to be arm wrestled to do but was eager to lift weights or hop on the stationary bike.
I don't think male pattern balding is a reason to say he was on steroids. Balding is very common and if it starts in the 20s it can progress quickly.. The earlier it starts the faster it goes. What is the mystery here? Male pattern balding. Does he have brothers? See if they lost their hair?
While I think he used the balding can be hereditary. Maybe his son will start balding early into an NFL career
How did he father all those kids then ? How can the worst abuser of anabolic/androgenic steroids maintain such awesome sperm production ?
Probable, Holyfield is that manly that drinking his spunk enabled Haney to retain his Olympia title year after year... ..
I believe he did, especially seeing how quickly he bulked up from LT.Heavy. (That extra muscle helped and hurt him at heavyweight) But Holyfield was showing early signs of baldness in the amateurs so that really isn't a strong indicator.
Didn't help, but his steroid use did cause other health problems. Recall when he was supposed to retire due to his heart?
I think that when Holyfield made the decision to start using his head as a third fist, he shaved his head. That makes it kind of like removing the padding from a glove.
LOL! Maybe it’s just something that comes with being a great heavyweight champ. The instinctive need to have as many children as possible and carry on the bloodline like a champion race horse. People are always surprised to find out Holyfield has 9 children but how many know that Ali also had 9, Mike Tyson has 8, Joe Frazier had 11 and George Foreman probably tops the list with 12? And that’s probably not counting the ones they illegitimately fathered and who have never been formally recognised as being theirs.
