Holyfield Underrated 80's Heavyweight Stint

[Sadiqkingofko]

I was researching the 80's heavyweight scene to make a video about it and i found it that Holyfield when moving up to heavyweight beat most of the 80's title holders

James Tilis
Pinklon Thomas
Michael Dokes
Alex Stewart

All those guys he beat them in the 80's

Only Thomas and Dokes were champs and to be fair they were past their prime (and had drug problems) while Evan Fields was fresh and young.
Stewart was okay, but Tyson beat him so easy (Peter McNeely did better).

We did miss a great fight in Tyson vs Holyfield (1990), Tyson would have been in great shape in am sure of it.
Could have been a trilogy.

- -Stewert and Tillis never title holders.

He was the champ of the failed small heavywt division.

U damning Field with faint praise is it?

Tyson beat Tillis and Thomas too, and he constantly gets his resume **** on.


So those names aren't gonna get Holyfield many props

I don't **** on Tyson's resume, he's a top 10 heavyweight all time in my eyes, better than the Klit bro's, and a lot of other great heavyweights, Tyson is overrated by some and underrated by some
