    Evander, Mayweather fought the best opponents for the best monies. That's why he racked up $800mil in his undefeated career, with no spousal or child support. Wondered what would've really happen if Holyfield had faced the Iron Mike of the 80s when both were hot? before Mike got clowned by Buster Brown.

        Either Holyfield is out of his mind or don't know S H I T about what's going on in boxing. Cause to say that Floyd didn't fight everybody when out of his 49 fights 26 were world title fights & between champions & exworld champions Floyd fought 24 & 3 were undefeated(Corales, Hatton & Canelo) 2 are already in the hall of fame(De La Hoya & Gatti) & so far 4 are sure candidates(Marquez, Mosley, Cotto & Pacquiao)..Floyd has done more than enough & with the money Floyd has made he could have retired years ago.¿What more does Holyfield want?

            Corrales was a flat out KILLER when Floyd got to him.

              Mayweather Should be Top 3 All-Time Great

              The Hate on Mayweather is ridiculous (check the Resume); The truth is Mayweather Fought at-least SIX Hall-of-Famers (Dela Hoya, Mosely, Gatti, Pacman, Marquez, Cotto). He fought THREE Undefeated Boxers at the time (Alverez, Hatton, and Corrales) and gave them there first loss. There other greats with less impressive resumes (Tyson defeated 1-HOFs, Dela Hoya bet 3-HOFs, Hagler bet 2-HOFs)....

                Every fight they were like. "We promise it will be the old pacquiao back again"... thats what they say about shot fighters, not fighters in their prime.
                I think you should learn what the term "shot " means.

                  Yeah Holyfied I see your point! In order to be TBE you had to have more than four kids out of wedlock & lose everything you once had like yourself. You have to attend those same fights and watch as a man make more money in one fight then you made in your entire career without getting beat the F'k up and end up stuttering like some drunken bum. Holyfied you got a taste of what the shoulder roll could do to a fighter like yourself from James Toney and end up on your zza. Now you hate on a guy because you aren't even mention in the same breath and no one ranks you in the top 20 of the ATG. Holyfied you need to take all that hate & ride off into the sunset before you lose another piece of ear & stop trying to look hard because you're just another sucker that Don King robbed out of his money and can only get 1 seat to a fight because the power that be in boxing fewel sorry for your dumb zza...

                    This is very sad and beyond pathetic for someone of Evander Holyfield's caliber and statute. Especially in light of the fact that he is regarded as one of the great ambassadors, good guys and statesmen for the sport of boxing.

                    It must really burns that he once had his moment in the sun to shine but now has nothing to show for it. He is virtually penniless and broke after squandering away nearly all of his estimated $350 Mil in career earnings from boxing by making bad business choices, mismanaging funds and investments.

                    So now he is understandably jealous and bitter towards his much younger and financially successful boxing fraternity brother Floyd Mayweather who still appeared very sharp by the way at age 38; While at the same time detracting from the fact that he was in there with an over matched opponent.

                      No matter whoever Floyd fought even if they were in their prime he would've still beat them. His skills is undeniable. I've never ever seen a boxer with that type of skill. Holyfield just mad because he has to fight to pay for child support cause he let his **** be in charge of his life.
