Tyson was "justified" in biting Holyfield's ear off? How? Because he was getting beaten? He came out TWICE without a mouthgard in order to bite Evander, and get disqualified before Evander beat him AGAIN.
Totally. Holyfield not only decided to use Tyson's nutz as a speed bag repeatedly he also kept headbutting Tyson repeatedly. If you look at the damage that these headbutts caused Hasim Rahman this past week you'd understand. (the lump from th hematoma is so big that it was the size of a baseball and Rahman will need surgury to remove it which means he'll be OUT of boxing for a while) These are potentially career ending attacks. Tyson himself said that he was worried that these headbutts would cripple him. He does have kids to feed and even if you don't like it he is entitled to earn a living. So yeah, if some guy was headbutting me, punching me in the nutz, and the ref did nothing about it you have two choices. 1)Quit and walk out of the ring. But then, who is gonna have you back to fight? Look at Golota. No one even wants to see him fight because he's seen as a quitter. 2)Leave enough damage that the guy thinks twice and leaves you in a position that you are still a viable fighter in people's eyes.
Biting happens all the time. You just never heard about it until this high profile fight. Tyson never
"came out" without his mouthpiece. He spit it out, proving that it wasn't premeditated. if biting was so unheard of why didn't Holyfield run away?
Please. Don't come talking trash until you've been in the junkyard. I don't come down to where you work out and rock the slurpee machine, don't come down to where I work out and say stuff you're not sure about.

Lewis v Holyfield would have been a good fight, with a Holyfield of 10 years ago. I would put money on Evander then, but he's too old now, especially considering the heart problems the man has.
Evander is all Lewis has left to cement himself into the league of
"greats" which tells you how sad this division is. It was Lewis' only really competitive fight in a while except Mercer as far as many see. Lewis has no
"wars" like many of the greats have had.
As far as Holyfield's heart? Please. The guy claimed he prayed to God and God healed his heart murmer so he could keep on fighting. I think Holyfield is just one tough mofo. That and he screws any woman within 5 feet and is too stupid to wear a condom.

Lewis showed a lot more boxing skill in this fight - he totally outclassed Tyson - althought the incredible hieght and reach advantages didn't hurt. He's definately progressed from the one-punch fighter he was when he gained his first title.
TOTALLY! I so agree with you! Lewis has gained some skills and he's using them. He's good for the division in the fact that he wants to bring boxing back to boxing.

I'd really like to see Roy Jones Jnr pack on a few, and step up to heavyweight. He is, IMHO, the best boxer on the planet.
I would also agree. Except that he runs his mouth off then is never there to back it up. RJJ, if you're so good, go find these guys to prove it. Stop fighting policemen, and garbage men who box in the off time. You're making a fool out of them but yourself too. You're too good for that. Stop yelling at Hopkins about 6 million and why he won't take it because he's a punk.. The conditions you put in place to fight are reeeeedeeeculas! Get off your *** and go to Germany and fight Darius. But neither of these two guys will fight off their own soil so really, if history sees them as guys who were great but never had the chance to prove it then it's their own tough titties.
It's not RJJ's total fault though. There just is no one at light heavyweight for him to fight. NO one! I mean that. I can't even think of a name other than Hopkins. The lower weights either have to come up he RJJ goes down and why should RJJ go down? If he wants to really test his mettle then he should go up to heavy and see what he can do. But overall, he is probably the best boxer P4P in the world.
Jeez, now I'm all worked up.
