Who was greater: Floyd Mayweather or Evander Holyfield?

[O Prophet]

Let's get this out of the way.

Floyd Mayweather: beat Oscar, Pac, Cotto, Hatton, Maidana, etc. Has held world titles in 5 lower weight classes. Retired with with an official record of 50-0.

Evander Holyfield: beat Holmes, Foreman, Tyson(x2), Douglas, etc. Only boxer in history to be Undisputed champ at both Cruiser and Heavyweight. Four-time Heavyweight champ.

Who was the greater boxer?

Floyd easy.... and I dont even like the guy. Im just not a hater.

[The King Hornet]

Holyfield by far.

Victories over Larry Holmes, Moorer, Bowe, and Mike Tyson makes Floyd's resume look like chump change.

[allanperlee]

Holyfield by far! Interesting comparison. He is a seriously underrated fighter and a true warrior.

[Golgo 13]

Evander was a fcvking LEGEND... anyone who says Floyd is ******ed.

Holyfield. A proven track record of always going for and getting and also accepting the toughest challenges available. Some perspective; he wasn't even supposed to do well at Heavyweight after unifying Cruiserweight. Deemed too small and not a hard enough puncher despite beating the likes of Dokes, Thomas and Tillis and then was the much smaller wins for some very good wins like Foreman and a great one like Bowe and not to mention the 26-1 odds he overcame to beat Tyson.

A great combination puncher also and one of the most entertaining and gutsy fighters of any era. Mayweather is great but Holyfield is a notch above IMO and probably one of the top 5 fighters of the last 30 years.

It’s really not a fair comparison because Holyfield fought so far past his prime his record doesn’t tell the whole story.

[IronDanHamza]

It's close.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Holyfield's wins over Qawi and De Leon.
