        Jones, although both him and Holyfield screwed it up by not retiring on time.

          Im guessing the voters in that poll had only been following the sport for a couple years

            I hope Holyfield, he's achieved more than any other fighter there.

              I got Holyfield 1 and Jones 2

              Holyfield the greater wins imo, and would win H2H at 175 imo

              Jones not far behind, then Hopkins/Marquez/Pac/May not much between them

                Now that I've voted, probably Holyfield based mainly on him being a heavyweight. Especially a heavyweight who knocked out Mike Tyson.

                But I voted for Jones

                  I agree. You can pretty much ignore the last 10 years of Evanders career and it still doesnt affect his ranking.

                    Holyfield doesn't compare to likes of Pac achievement wise. He's the GOAT at 200lbs but Pac is unparalleled with what he's done.
