Holyfield didn't have the consistency to be rated in the top 10

Other then Marciano name a HW who has not been beaten during their best years?.....Louis was starched by Schmelling before he won the title..Lewis also came back and made easy work Rahman in the rematch, also he did not train 3 weeks before the fight and was spending late nights filming Oceans 11.....It was more the fact Lennox gassed out and was prime at the time of the KO

Holyfield was at or near the top for the better part of a decade....From 1990-2000 he was part of 13 title fights.....The only men to beat him in his prim were Bowe and Lewis...Two top 20 ATG hwts. He was only KO'd twice in 9 losses...By Toney way past his better years and a much Bigger Prime Bowe...He also had one of the Best HW triligies with Bowe....He won the title what 4 times I think....Pretty damn impressive IMO


Agreed on Foreman he was great both runs
