    Holy used his head to great effect v Tyson, was his more of a master of the dark arts than roughouse heavies like Marciano?

    I believe that it was in the Rahman fight that Holyfield landed the prettiest counter headbutt that I have ever seen. He had to have been a Bobo Brazil fan as a kid.

    Finally a video of Holyfield's dirty tactics. Probably the dirtiest fighter of all time

    So you show video of Tyson repeatedly moving his head forward and them banging heads and conclude it’s Holyfield’s fault lol.

    Mike Tyson was the ear biting expert, I thought cannibalism was against the law.

    I never really bothered to study Greb in depth apart from his resume which is impressive

    It’s because there’s no footage of him

    was he a particularly dirty fighter ?

    Although I have always liked Holyfield, it is clear he is a dirty fighter. I only figured this out a few years ago. Since then he has dropped a little on my list. Still an ATG but yes, this hurts his legacy in my eyes.

    Good video.

    Holyfields nude nut is definitely one helluva weapon.
