    Great video. :good

    "The Real Deal" wasn't just a nickname. Holyfield lived it.

    The best of his era, IMO.

    Where he doubles up on the right hand.
    Those are the types of moves I wanna see from fighters. :D

    Heavyweight champions these days seem to have have performance anxiety issues about throwing a single right hand off a jab. :lol:

    Thanks Unforgiven.
    I agree. Imagine a prime Holyfield in this division. He would be undisputed champion.

    He was a warrior I loved to see his fights especially in his cruiser days. I rewatched the Holyfield-Bowe 1 fight and it was closer than I remember it was and for Holyfield to come back in one of the later rounds(10 I think) after getting his butt kicked just shows his warrior spirit.

    Amazing tribute, capturing "The Warrior" excellently.
    I love the song "War" by Vince DiCola (also used for Balboa vs Drago), no song could be more fitting for Evander.
    Holyfield is sadly underrated now in terms of Greatness & Peak H2H ability imo.

    I'm now off to watch Holyfield vs Foreman, my 4th favourite "Real Deal" fight behind his legendary trilogy of brutal wars with Bowe.

    This is actually a better highlight, that WAR one...whoever made it. Has just got a bunch of fight clips, and put music over it. Some of Evander Holyfields most epic moments where missed out..!!! i like part 2 of this highlight..!!!!

    I'm confused about your post.

    Did you like the highlight? Or do you just think I took a bunch of clips and put music over it... because that's what most highlights are...

    Most **** highlights, are the one's where people just take a bunch of action...and put some Lil wayne, or some cheesy 80's music over it.....yes you are correct.

    All you have done is, take a bunch of Evander Holyfield's action...and put some music over it, its quite **** in my opinion. With the pace of the music, you could of made it more epic by matching certain parts of the action with the music, there was plenty more you could of done.

    "All you have done, is get aload of fighting clips and put some music over it........that's all you have done"

    Just look at this Evander Holyfield Warrior Spirit Part 2, look at the detail and careful thought that has been put into the action, its choreographed. Certain things like the Round 10 action against Riddick Bowe, Turk has taken commentary from two different networks and mixed them together.

    You failled to capture Evander Holyfield's best and most epic moments, becasue the lack of thought and chorography you put into it.

    But its a good start man..........I'M JUST BEING HONEST.

    Anyone who doubts Riddick Bowe's skills only needs to watch the first minute and a half of that last video. Look how he goes to the body inside especially when he hurts Holyfield and works Holy up and down. Great stuff from Bowe.

    Well I'm sorry that I can't be Turk. I can't be turk because I didn't make the same vids as him. Here's the difference: He made a career highlight. I made a highlight reel of Holyfield's action.
    If you can't enjoy it, fine. I know I'm always going to get criticism from people like you.
