          He never had a FIGHT at Light Heavy. Evander the blown up Light Heavy is one of boxing's ******est myths.

            I've just checked boxrec and you're right, although his first four fights were very close to the Light Heavy limit. I got my info from the Wikipedia article about him - see here. Do you ever correct inaccurate Wikipedia articles, Cliff? If so, you might want to correct the one on Holyfield. I don't know how to, and in any case, your credentials carry more weight than mine.

                Wikipedia is very influential though - the error in that article is part of the reason the myth perpetuates.

                    Same here, the analyses of the fighters' records are very illuminating.
