    Advantages Advantages In his prime he was magnificant

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Should have retired 7 or so years ago

    Intro: It's become biography week for me, so he's another, and yes another boxer, this time the real deal, the first undisputed Cruiserweight champion and one of the most contraversial fighters of the 90's (I know he was fighting in the 80's but the controversies seem more based in the 90's). One of the boxers that seem to split opinions more than any others, whether this is a good thing or not isn't up for debate as I welcome you to this article on "The Real Deal". Origins: Evander Holyfield was born on October 19, 1962 in Atmore, Alabama (could be why he sounds so punchy...or maybe he is in ... more

    Holyfield (that spelt with one 'L') is coming into the twilight of an exceptional career having now become heavyweight world champion for a record fourth time. He still wants another bash at Lewis however I can only see one winner in that match. Holyfield started in boxing as a cruiserweight and totally dominated the division. So much so there wasn't any real competition for him at the weight. He then was in line to meet Mike Tyson in his very first fight at heavyweight.However, as history will now record his first fight was against James 'Buster' Douglas who controversially beat Mike Tyson in ... more

    Advantages Advantages Holyfield has the determination to prove himself time and again.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The age factor is creeping like a termite starting to annihilate the house of power.

    Evander Holyfield relied on faith alone, on his deep faith in God, despite the onset of his advancing age. There's no way he could lose a fight provided he muster the same faith he had shown when he regained the heavyweight crown. Being the greatest is not just having the bravado and the flair for showmanship. The true spirit in sports, particularly in boxing, requires the proper attitude in handling a crisis, just what Holyfield had shown before. In Evander's future fights, the inevitable age factor may get the better of him but it's still worth a try. Only Evander knows his full capability ... more

    Advantages Advantages popularity

    Disadvantages Disadvantages age

    Following last nights wba bout against little known johnny ruiz, one must feel that the time is up for evander holyfield now, and that he shoul, once and for all, hang up his gloves. Last night, one could see that the stamina and skill that was once there had somewhat diminished, and where agility and speed once reigned, replacement with a tired figure now was presented. Still, following the fight he has vowed to continue with boxing and will not quit ! In my view, the great know when to stop, and he should, before he turns into a shadow of a figure that he once was. ... more
