Holyfield V Tyson - Popularity

People in general tend to judge others by what they do or how they're perceived through the media. Tyson bit Holyfield's eat and from then Holyfield played the hero victim while Tyson continued to play the villain. Please note that by "play" I mean follow the script unwillingly provided by the media. In reality, only people living with a person would know how he/she truly is. That said, Holyfield turning out to be "homophobic" shouldn't surprise anyone since he has been clear from day one that he's very religious.

 

Holy defo has fallen from grace over the years in the public eye.
Tyson defo has rebuilt his image to an extent but overall there was really no competition between the 2 in the popular vote.

 

Holyfield only lost favour with the PC brigade imo he came across great on big brother

Yeh he has some outdated views but its just stuff he was taught by his mother as a kid, can't blame him really.

 

I agree with this, he is a tad old fashioned but he is a likeable guy imo.

 

F*ck Big Brother it's a dead end t.v show. Holyfield is a Legend and the reason he was voted out of big brother was because the audience is made up of women, gays and younger kids who don't know him. I heard he talked about his self belifs in there so good for him and lets have it right the bible say's Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve. :deal

 

Don't be surprised at Holyfield's dislike of homo***uals - he is religious after all. We hear it time and time again from those faith-head whackos!

Difference between Holyfield and Tyson is people seem to forgive Tyson no matter what he does. "I **** you til you love me, ******" gets admiration on here - yet Holyfield condemned.

Don't forget Tyson is a convicted ******.

 

Preach !

Not everyone has to agree with the homo agenda!

 

He fell off a pregnant horse and got so angry with it that he punched it in the face.

Bit of a ***** thing to do. Same goes for Duran. Bugs me when people tell that story, whereas if they stopped and thought what they would think if they actually saw some **** load up on a right hook across a horses head. Theyd think rightly, "what a *****".

Question to americans:
Do you guys really care if a person is homophobic? Do you see anything bad in it?

 

Holyfield was something of a childhood hero to me. The first boxing match I ever saw was him taking his title back from Bowe and seeing him beat a man that much bigger than him left a mark. And then he beat Tyson, the fighting beast, twice when his best days seemed long past. He was great. But this Big Brother **** is bad. He's hit a lot of sour notes by the sound of it. I don't watch reality TV, but a quick Internet review shows up animal abuse & homophobia. I can't speak for the rest of the world but those are bad things to be associated with here in the UK. We like animals more than we like people.

But then, as far as I can tell, Tyson is treated as a freak show by most. He's either depicted as a brutal, raping monster or a broken fool incapable of moving past the issues created by his awful childhood or, you know, a combination of both. Neither are exactly a good end for the baddest man on Earth.

From where I sit it seems that neither of them really register worth a damn anymore. Certainly not to folk who weren't around in their heyday. They've gone from being big men standing astride the globe to being middle-aged celebs eking out a living based on the scraps of their past (well-earned) celebrity before it fully disintegrates. And they're retroactively spoiling those past selves as they go.

I wish they'd had better people in their corner who could force them to put some of their absurd earnings aside away from their youthful stupidity so they could leave the scene with grace.

 

You can say what you want about Tyson, but you can't deny that he is interesting. Even with the lisp, when he speaks, you listen. He can tell you good stories and even be insightful upon his reflection. I mean can you imagine Holyfield getting the coverage Mike did with his autobiography or his HBO broadway show? He owned a crowd for 90mins, just himself. The crowd left wanting more, cos it was a condensed version of his life.

 

I don't blame Tyson for biting Holyfield's ear off, since Holyfield kept headbutting him over and over again...............
