      I dont think you can just say one fight is more meaningful than the other when it came to Holyfield, The public didnt really begin to accept him until he beat Tyson, no matter who he fought and beat they just didnt seem to accept Holyfield until that moment.
      his most respected win IMO is against Bowe, but its also against all the other top teir Heavys as well, Michael Moorer, Buster Douglas, Ray Mercer, Mike Tyson. Holyfield fought basicly all of the top heavys of his era

        I think Holyfield doesn't get enough credit or maybe i should say mention that he cleaned out the Crusierweights.

          After losing two rounds he tried to go for an uppercut like the one he knocked out Tyson with... Holyfield simply stepped back and countered, Douglas fell down and did not care to get up.

            My favorite Holyfield fight was his first fight with Stewart, here was a guy 24-0 with 24 KOs while Holyfield undefeated himself was just moving up from cruiser weight, this was by all means a dangerous fight becuase the man he fought was undefeated and knocked out everybody and in that fight had Holyfield hurt a few times but Holyfield came on as always and won the fight.
            nobody talks about this fight personally its up there with my all time Favs.

                  He might've dropped some of his 'belts' to not face mandatories (Lewis) but he was the man to beat because he was the man that beat the man (Evander Holyfield).
                  yeah thats why i picked Bowe

                    Bowe by a mile. Douglas had ONE great fight in his career, it just happened at the best possible time. He got morbidly obese after that.
