    Holy is one of my favorite fighters of all time. Everything said about him in this thread is true. Especially the part about him fighting anyone. He is an all time great, and top 10 in my opinion.

    And Im not talking about just heavyweights either.

    When you go back, and cruise though his record....its crazy. Plain and Simple.

        One of the greatest warrior's? That is a ridiculous understatement. He has the biggest heart of any fighter whoever lived at any weight class.

          i like holyfield, however

          the one thing i think is pretty lame,is the fact that he claims he went to a baptist healer, got touched by this healer and fell down unconscious,then started touching other people there and them falling down unconscious.

          if you believe in that, and then also believe a goat talked,and also believe they fit 2-3million different species of animals on a boat,






          ........Then you're clearly a ****tard.

            He was prolific heavyweight, one of the best ever. He just got old and didn't know when to retire. Holyfield should of retired after he beat Ruiz.

                lol, no it doesnt. which is why i have so much respect for b-hop.

                holyfield is smart to a degree, though.at least back when the legendarynights bowe-holyfield was filmed, which was probably later 1990's.i remember he said something like 'I chose to feel insecure about what I thought people would say' etc and that's why he trained so hard, sounded like he had his head on straight.tyson's 'spinal' thing was the worst though.

                    definitely a great fighter, and probably in the top 10 heavyweights of all time.....Lennox Lewis was much greater though..
                    if you saw the 2nd fight Holy outboxed LL, and should have won that one.

                      what does that have to do with his boxing skills, or resume?
