Against George, he showed he had everything to compete with big men and again with Bowe in 1992. Almost ten years on and after have faced Bowe twice more, Tyson twice, Moorer twice, he was not at his best in New York against Lennox... But you know what, in Los Angeles he took the juice out of the always dangerous one punch english-canadian-jamaican that never followed up his attack showing that his heart was not a part of the package, Holyfield is one of the best 5 of all time and may win a title still at 44, see how good this unbelivable warrior is like
