Holyfield beat Qawi, Pinklon Thomas, Moorer, Bowe, Ruiz, old Foreman, De Leon
He has a very good resume if you ask me...he can only beat who's out there...
One of the best heavyweights of all time for sure...idk bout top 5...is he better than Louis, Ali, Dempsey, Tunney, or Jack Johnson?
I'd put him ahead of Frazier, and probably Foreman...we gotta factor in Lennox as well...
lmao they were all waaaay past their primes....he beat them all in their 2nd careers....
and actually isnt ali the first 4 time heavyweight champ?
Ali is a 3 time. The 3rd time is a total farce tho. He had no business losing to Leon Spinks in the first place. Spinks couldn't win another meaningful fight forevermore. And he was green when he fought Ali!
He won his first belt against the best cruiser weight in the world in his 11th pro fight. He was one of the most exciting heavyweights of all time.
Butterbean's exiting too. Where on the ATG list does that leave him?
In order to lose the title fights of the magnitude that he lost, you gotta be doing something right for a VERY long time.
Absolutely. Holyfield is a fine fighter. Top 5? LMAO!
He's the guy who has lost the most titlefights.

holyfield is definitly top 10 alltime heavyweight...but you gotta remember it aint like when ali was fighting..now you have all these damn differant titles you can win..so it's really not the same ali was a threetime champ back when it was really only 1 belt
Nuff said....
Definitely. Holyfield should have been the 5 time world champion.
Here's why he's one of the best.
thats a damn good highlight vid, one of the best ive seen
Only just watched Holyfield Vs Valuev for the first time.
A FARCE!!!
holyfield:
controlled the ring
landed far more
landed the harder shots
wasted fewer shots
he always looked in control!
why does it matter to anyone how many times some one won the title?
to win it 4imes you have to lose it 3!
that said.
evander is certainly in te top 20 heavies of all time, quite probably the top ten.
i can think of few with heart like is.
he fought all challengers while tyson was ducking foreman, bowe was ducking lewis etc
a great campion certainly
