I still remember Larry Merchants opening line which was along the lines of how experts believe that by the end of the night we will have a new HW champ.
Yes....I remember that as well.
That fight was back wen all that was mostly said about Holyfield was that he was still not a true heavyweight.
How you can not have his Bert Cooper victory on there is beyond me?
Seriously it for me has to be his victory over Bowe (even though I dont really think he won that fight)...he was left for dead and the way the first ropund started out it didnt look good but Holy was Holy and he came up big.
Holyfield has a bunch of big victories in my mind which is why he is far and away ahead of guys like Lewis and Tyson...you can pick apart these guys resumes alot easier than you can Evander's.
A bunch of big victories? - a washed of MT and one very good win against RB?
How the hell you can put Holy(no pun intended) above Lewis is beyond me. As I have said before - I think he is given way too much credit for a couple of good fights.
