Where does Evander Holyfield rank among all time great Heavyweights?

[Anthony342]

So was Toney...

Nah, more like 67.

Nah, more like 67.

That was probably Toney's best shape for a heavyweight fight.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Top-5/6 Heavyweights of all time.

I have him behind my top-5 in not particular order: Lennox Lewis, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, Jack Johnson, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield...

Listen to Larry Merchants total admiration for him, at the start of the 11 round of this fight! 48min/35second mark approximately....

There has been no fighter in the history of boxing, that has gained so much credit even during his loses! Because his performances where always always great! Greatness sometimes is not always about winning!

[Joe Beamish]

The power of the juice is real.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Top ten clearly. better than Tyson of course.

What Holyfield wins, at heavyweight, would rank above any of Tyson's wins.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Holyfield beat Tyson twice, he also beat Foreman ( old fat version), beat Bowe ( but also lost twice), beat Douglas ( who stopped prime Mike)..Holyfield is better boxer.

[The Old LefHook]

Few if any can come right out and knock Holyfield cold.

Ohhhh! But thee Batard maker could knock a few of his own! Sometimes when I get up late at night and look in the mirror and see my neanderthal like brow bone I have to remind myself not to call the batard maker "Daddy."
