    There's too much **** that happened before my time to say where he should be placed. Personally, I think he's a top 10 or 15 HW tho.

      I think he would be ranked higher if he had fought in the Ali-Frazier era. The 1990s era of giants was just too big for the #1 CW of all time.

        Holyfield would struggle to make a top 10.

          Yeah #2 is way too high for Holyfield, maybe #2 in the last 20 years? When I think of Holyfield I put him just above a guy like Ken Norton. Great fighter, entertaining, but not a dominate champion the likes of Ali and others.

            I think Holy is a top ten heavy, I cant think of ten that are better. Granted, I haven't seen them all but Evander was the #2 heavy of my era, below Lennox Lewis--and even that old version fought Lewis fairly tough in the rematch.
