    Holyfield always, always comes in perfect condition for his fights though.

    Steroids. He suffered tinyballs and heart problems

    Hes a cheat.

    His mental christianity I think was to cover up any thought that he could possibly cheat, just like Jimmy Saville with all his charity work (even though he had fifty million kids each from a different woman)

    As a cruiserweight I'd rate him top 3

    As a heavyweight..................................... Yeah. I'll say this, he was a great boxer and I think he would be a contender in any era but an elite heavyweight, I just don't see it.

    He's the greatest cruiser-weight that ever lived since the divisions creation in 1979.

    Dudes a legend, easliy a top five personal favorite in all division from 1st day of being a fan. Its all hypothetical and speculative as to who-how-when-why he may have done vs the division best but easily top ten hvy for me here. A career of the good, the bad, and the ugly in all honesty and fairness but he was always doubted and remained fierce throughout. He's one of the ones you just put his wars on as 'background' now and remember exactly what you were doing when you saw them live the first time.
