Holyfield has the best resume in boxing.

[Davros?]

It can be argued when Holyfield fought Tyson he was past his prime, but he was not washed up! He only had one lost (busta Douglas) he recently came off a devasting win to pick up one version of the hw title (WBC i think) and he was a favourite going in. In fact, by the time they fought many already considered Holyfield out of his prime also. The Tyson that fought Lewis... that's a diff story....

Holyfield's resume is by far one the best in modern times....

I agree Tyson wasn’t at his peak but he was still a good fighter in 1995-1997, He had recently beaten Bruno who although nothing special was a good heavyweight.

Holyfield has an impressive record... no doubt...but to say he has "the best resume" is objective.

So what if Holyfield faught all those guys, he has 9 losses.

Because he fought everyone. Have some common sense. I never once said Holyfield was the G.O.A.T.

Take a look at who Holyfield has fought. Tillman, Qawi, Tillis, Thomas, Dokes, Stewart x2, Douglas, Foreman, Cooper, Holmes, Bowe x3, Moorer x2, Mercer, Tyson x2, Lewis x2, Ruiz x3, Toney, Rahman, Byrd, Donald, Savarese, and Ibragimov. Who else has fought let alone beat Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Holmes, and Foreman?

are we talking active boxers, or all time?

I guess we are talking boxers of at least the modern era. I hate when fellas bringup boxers they never saw fight....Jack Johnson, Dempsey eyc....You only saw some clips and usually highlights reels like the when they show you the coming attractions to a movie of course they show you the best part....Holy has one of the best ever if not the best reumes fought all top at Cruiser and heavy....more Champs on that list then anyone I have seen...Ali has a decnt resume as well sir...You could make cases for some other but these two come to mind.. Ali fought Fraizer, Foreman, Norton, Ellis, Holmes, Liston, Paterson, .Lefty

My point is that to have a great resume should mean that you beat a lot of those guys. If he just FOUGHT the best, which he did, then you should say "he faced the best competetion". "Resume" implies achievements, and just fighting someone isn't enough, you should defeat them to be able to say your resume is good.

Yea you right man.

Where does that leave Oscar De La Hoya?
