    Happy birthday Champ.

    One of my all time favourite fighters ever and one of the best I’ve seen.

    Prime Holyfield was a beast.

    What if he wants to come back to fight the winner of Fury vs Usyk? What if he calls out Daniel Dubois??

    Evander believes he could probably take on a rhino… he was a very arrogant fighter with a very strong sense of competition… I admire the heck out of him.

    I don’t think a prime Evander beats Usyk… I think that Fury is a hard to fight to picture but Dubois he probably beats up.

    62 year old Holyfield isn't beating Dubois. 28-37 year old Holyfield that wasn't sick could beat Dubois.

    I started pre school the same year Holyfield became HW champion.

    I was in high school. It feels like yesterday. Sadly, it isn’t.

    Love Evander. Proper warrior.

    Could have been a great Heavyweight but didn’t have the self-belief after losing for the first time, ostensibly, to do it without being a drug cheat. Bowe taking his title seemed to have knocked the belief out of him. He was juicing shamelessly thereafter, & was just as dirty in-ring. Don’t have a lot of respect for Holyfield, personally.
