Who was greater: Floyd Mayweather or Evander Holyfield?

Real Deal by a Mile.

If Lennox Lewis was a 5'11 Welterweight Floyd wouldn't be entertaining a fight to happen

floyd > bowe > holyfield

Floyd is the better boxer easily but Evander is a much better human being. If you asked genuine fight fans what fighter they preferred it would be Holyfield all day long.

They are both great but I voted for the guy who never lost a fight in his whole long career and defeated so many champions. Mayweather.

I don't like Holyfield but I respect him as champion. It's not even close. Mayweather is better. Holyfield lost fights when he was close to his prime. His win over Tyson was good but any win over post prison Tyson has to be taken for what it is. He beat ancient Foreman and Holmes. Lennox Lewis was simply better than him.

Mayweather was considerably better than his closest competitors and had a much longer reign. Holyfield wasn't even the best in his era.

How can one even compare undisputed heavyweight champion The Real Deal with some overgrown chicken? I'm sure Holyfield eats bigger dinners than Mayweather in high heels and hat.

Holyfield is a PED cheat that fouled so badly a fighter bit his ear off. Floyd is greater without question unless you are a hater, ******ed, or both(spoon23 and those like him).

The way you phrase the first post is skewed. You call Holyfield a four time champ but Floyd a title holder.

Floyd was THE Champ in each class he moved up to (5) and beat more champs than Holyfield. He never lost, while Holyfield did numerous times.

Floyd won every belt, you name it, but wasn't interested in two of them (IBF and WBO). Can you name a champion that was better than him in any of the divisions he's fought in at the time? He was the unified champ at both 147 and 154 simultaneously.

Not even close. Floyd all day.

Holyfield is jealous of what Floyd has accomplished, and the fact that Floyd never respected him, period.

Your question is a joke.

Holyfield is a dirty headbutter and an Uncle Tom. I personally never respected him or liked his style in his best days.
