The two barely threw any punches and largely just danced around, occasionally lightly jabbing each other in the midsection in what was much more of a comedic event than an actual bout. (Image.

After the fight, Romney said of Holyfield: “He said, ‘You know what? You float like a bee and sting like a butterfly.’” (Image: AP)[/caption] [caption id=“attachment_2247934” align=“alignnone” width=“940”] ![Romney-Holyfield-Figh_Verm_03](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Romney-Holyfield-Figh_Verm_03.jpg) Holyfield who retired from boxing in 2012, twice fought for the heavyweight title of the world against Mike Tyson.
