was Holyfield really IN his prime in 1991?

Nah it ain't that bad, but I been out of work for over a month now so I'll be relieved when I start this job. When my girlfriend and mates are at work there is **** all to do.

 

Well, there's always

- exercise
-reading
-going for walks
-job interviewing

anyway, what kind of job are you starting?

 

I don't need life advice, but cheers. I play the drums a lot. And there's no point looking for jobs when this one is guaranteed - it's nothing exciting, won't divulge too much but it could end up as a career.

 

Selling bibles? Common, what is it?

 

No, stop being a nosey ****.

 

Are you selling your arse in down town London?

 

He may disagree to increase the value of his win, but the fact that Holyfield, Bowe, Moorer and Lewis himself lived in the shadow of an imprisioned Mike Tyson suggests otherwise.

During the mid 90s the question or rather speculation that all these fighters faced at on point is how they'd measure up to what was then the standard bearer, Mike Tyson. Whether or not he would have cleaned up in the 90s like he did in the 80s was not relevant but the Tyson legend gave Holyfield all the motivation he needed to prove himself.

If Tyson had beaten Holyfield in that first fight. I seriously doubt that Evander would have had many opportunities after losing to Mike. Not only that, but wouldnt be in many's people's top 10 list as an ATG HW.

As for the OP, yes Holyfield was in his prime in 1991. I feel that his peak was between 91-93.
