Enforcing civilized standards is never easy in a sport where acceptable behavior is to beat your opponent to a pulp, and where unacceptable behavior has never been bad for the gate. Holyfield himself once bit an opponent, "Jakey" Winters, during a Golden Gloves bout in 1980. Holyfield, who gnawed Winters...
