    Does this same thing happen to a prime version(86'-89') or might I say a pre - prison version of Mike?

    If Holyfield had grown his hair out and straightened it over his ears, they would not have been such an inviting target, so I blame Evander for letting himself go bald. His ears were just sticking out, saying, "Bite me off, I'm delicious, and you're hungry I'm the Real Meal, Earios!"

    I don't know. Personally my taste buds have changed here and there throughout my life. I remember a time when I was disgusted by both ham and lima beans but as it turns out, I now would not mind a meal of ham and lima beans regularly.

    I thought Holyfield actually put his ear into Tyson's mouth during a clinch. And whatever is in your mouth is fair game to bite.

    When you spend so long in prison on your knees "eating" other guys so you dont get stabbed its only fair that you get used to the taste of big drug muscled men.

    What Tyson did was disgusting but not suprising. Tyson mentally fell apart. When he was nervous in the gym he used to gnaw on his gloves to the point where he chewed them up and couldnt use them anymore.
    Holyfield always forgave Tyson, because he knew what he did caused Tyson to fall apart. Deep down even though he got the admiration from the fans, he didnt want to win like that.
    I dont believe Tyson would have bitten Holyfield if he wasnt cut over both eyes, he was giving a good effort, and had a good cornerman that night to help him along. He had weathered a big shot from Holyfield and answered back with a good combo of his own, in the third, but Holyfield took the momentum right back by opening another cut over Tysons other eye. Thats when Tyson lost it.

    Tyson actually did put Holyfields ear in his mouth as kind of a warning before he bit him the first time. It was sometime in the first round, you can see it. It was a warning bite.:lol:

    Your're just one of many delusional Tyson fanatics .. Always thinking and working out excuses of why 'Mike does what he does' .. Who's fault was it when he went nuts at 2 old age people in the road rage incident ?? Who's fault was it when Tyson punched the referee ?? Who's fault was it when Tyson tried to break Botha's arm ?? Who's fault was it when he bit Lewis on the leg ?? Who's fault was it when Tyson raped Desiree Washington ??

    None of these things can possibly be Mike Tysons fault because as hes told us a billion times, he had a tough upbringing, the world and everyone in it were against him and of course, CUS DIED !!

    Tyson was a disgrace, Holyfield was twice the fighter of Tyson, yeah he was 'tactical' with the head but so what, look at Boxing down the years and all the top guys are capable of being dirty, Harry Greb was famous for it .. Perhaps the referee should have had a word with Holyfield at certain points but thats the refs fault, not Holyfields .. Tyson was butting him too but was always coming off worse .. Tyson damaged boxing when he took that cowards way out !!

    Im not making excuses for all the other crazy **** that he has done.Im talking about Evander MOTHER****IN HOLYFIELD . MAYBE YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THE FIGHT AGAIN AND WATCH HOW EVANDER KNOCKS THE EVER LOVIN **** OUT OF TYSON WITH HIS HEAD CONTINUOUSLY. I know that Tyson was ****in pissed by this bull**** tactic that Holyfield was using , It was buckling his knees for ****sake. Im sure that you though would have done nothing right? Im sure that you would have thanked Mr Holyfield for blinding you with his massive Cabesa. If Tyson backed up and took a free goal kick towards Evander's nutsack would he still be considered a disgrace in your eyes? Tyson will always be one the best to have entered a ring.

    Indeed,

    In fact, Holyfield was the one who should have been disqualified .... Not Tyson.
