Tito you really don't think Holyfeild is a top10 heavyweight of all time i got disagree with you on that one. I mean Frazier has one great win and then lost every other fight at heavyweight against the greats. Dempsey did not fight most of greats of his time because they were black and got owned by Tunney Lhw pretty bad in both fights. I dont see how those guys are better then Holyfeild i mean his resume at Hw is better then anyone not name Ali and maybe Lewis. As far as his loses go most of them were after he was 40 years of age and i don't think that should count to hard against the man really like Jones i not counting his loses in his 40's. Anyhow just some thoughts on that i agree with most of the names i guess Jack Johnson for like historical thing but how much of the man have you really seen.

I said "everything considered"... which means I think there are some doubts about certain things during Evander's reign. Many think he was 'roided up as a HW, and to be honest that weighs a bit on my mind. He was a fabulous CW... but seemed way too big at HW. Also who would I take out of there to replace him with Holyfield? They all have a claim to greatness, whether it be the sheer dominance of their reign (which is why I reluctantly put Wlad in there), or what they did for boxing at the time (ie..... Tyson). Even Frazier, who I have at # 10, is an iconic figure in HW boxing history, having been involved in those epic battles with Ali. Not denying Holyfield's greatness... I just think to many people he should have an asterisk in there somewhere.

Look the man never failed a test in 26 year career whats to say most of fighters in his era were taking something because the test were a joke. I mean Tyson and Lewis could been roiding form all you know and every other fighter because if they did not fail a test i don't judge them on it really.

Tyson and Lewis were always heavyweights, and looked pretty much the same throughout their entire career. By no means am I singling out Holyfield, 'cause that is a widespread issue..... but to make Top Ten you have clear certain hurdles..... and that's one of them.

Fair enough that is your thoughts on if but i feel that Holyfeild resume and being to come back recap the belt as many times as he did hw is more then enough. I also go head to head with rating as well fell he do fine with any heavyweight i dont hold something a man never failed against him.

Evander Holyfield was using steroids, and so was pretty much everyone at the time. Anyone who believes any different is kidding themselves.

Tyson admitted himself in his book how he was cheating all the drug tests (although he only admitted it was because of his cocaine use) and how they were a joke. If you weren't using steroids back then, you were retarded.
