    Doctors make these kind of mistakes all the time.
    These days we're lucky to have google, so we can diagnose ourselves and then inform our doctors. :lol:

    I think Holyfield being miraculous cured by a Christian faith healer is more far fetched.
    I think Holyfield undergoing some nasty effects from anabolic drugs, announcing his retirement, then coming back even bigger and stronger is a little bit of a stretch too.

    Well, I disagree. Any heart problem is gonna have an echocardiogram, complete bloodwork, etc and be shipped off to a cardiologist and be taken very seriously. I'm not believing that one unless I see some good sources.

    The commentator in the 3rd Bowe fight said that Holyfield underwent examination at the Mayo clinic and his heart looked to be fine, as Holyfield came down to the ring.

    His enlarged heart was believed to be remedieded by taking time off.

    Yeah, the guy gave him the tap on the head and Evander fell over backwards and got up cured. I've seen the video somewhere and it is pretty funny:patsch

    Benny Hinn, or Benny Hill, forgot his name. Yeah that was hilarious to watch! Even moreso these days.
