Belfort did what Tyson, Mercer, Lewis, Foreman and Cooper failed to do

[Willie Pep 229]

Belfort 44 years of age . . . 26-14 UFC record

Holyfield 58 years of age . . . 57 fights, 443 rounds of professional boxing

Is someone trying to pass off that these two men are 'ring worn' to the same extent?

Styles make fights. He just had Holyfield's number. Just like how Tyson stopped Spinks.

It is not only IF you beat them, but HOW you beat them.

Last night Belfort became a boxing ATG via a single fight, by destroying the man no one else could ever thoroughly destroy before. He wasted Holyfield like a little girl, and for that he gains a seat in The Hall Of The Greats, bumping Holyfield from the Captain's Table, as Vitor now occupies the chair between Willie Pep and Sam Langford.

A roided 44-year-old beat a 60 year-old-man. Legendary stuff.

C- trolling.

I know this is clearly a troll post, but just adds to the premise: you gotta look at WHEN an opponent was beat. Some fighters build a resume picking off post prime fighters

Give us some examples.

That's the spirit.

Saying "b-b-but Holyfield is 58" is just a tired excuse. Belfort would destroy 28 year old Holyfield in the same fashion.

Holyfield has been a warrior. He looks great for his age but has the reflexes and balance issues of a man much older.
