WikiProject Boxing "To Do"

You neglect to mention that Holyfield was beaten easily in their first bout, and that the result of a draw was declared a farce across the boxing world. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.32.121.254 (talk • contribs) .
...born 1962... ...began 1965 with a win... someone want to check the dates and correct?
Actually, the first fight with Lewis was a legit draw, but only because Lewis is a rather inactive fighter. There were 5 rounds where Lewis clearly dominated, and 3 rounds where Holyfield dominated. That left 4 rounds that were virtually even. If you give those rounds to Holyfield, then you have a draw. When you consider that Holyfield was the reigning champion, it is understandable that the judges would have wanted Lewis to come take the title from him.
Incidentally, Holyfield did considerably better in the rematch, and could have expected a draw, but got the loss instead. Interesting.

[edit] You guys forgot something
Holyfield contracted Hepatitis A sometime before the third fight with bowe
Can we get a picture of Evander Holyfield that's safe for work? At least one without visible genatalia?
[edit] Boxing career section too long
The "Boxing career" section is much too long. It should be divided into more specific categories of periods during his career instead of one behemoth of a section.

Hey, you guys might like her, but this is not the right opening picture for this article.
[edit] Trilogy with John Ruiz
The third fight with John Ruiz is completely wrong. Holyfield did not knock out John Ruiz in the 8th round. The fight went 12 rounds and was a draw. John Ruiz maintained the WBA belt since he was the champion. Evander did not win the belt, and did not knock out John Ruiz. Jamal7322002
