    Tyson as youngest champ is one thing, but the fact that he unified it solidifies the record as legit. While each champ wasn't world class but decent, Tyson in stride annihilated them all.


    Holyfield is what? 4 time HW champ, not that impressive if he couldn't sustain his rule. And this is coming from a Holyfield fan. It kind of insinuates that he was an inconsistent champ.

    That is why Evander should not be on an all time heavyweight champions list. He lost to Moorer !!!!!!!!!

    Not a record broken as much as a milestone maybe?

    Ray Robinson took 133 times before he lost his 2nd bout.
    Who will do that?
    No one.

    In noooo way comparing them..but 'Buck Smith' went 130-0 between 2nd and 3rd loss . Ok half majority were working the County Fair hot dog stand the morning of the fight but just two atmospheric contrasts in talent and how glossy numbers, sometimes, can be run up.

    Blaspheme . Could also be an indicator that he fought the very best of his era, sometimes twice. Whatever health situation he had going on, the fact the Moorer 2nd round was scored 10-10 with KD handing Moorer the belts was asinine. And he bounced him like a ping pong ball in rematch.

    In his peak years Evander beat an overweight Buster, nearly knocked out by Bert Cooper, struggled with old Foreman/Holmes and loses to Bowe. Not an impressive reign to be considered a great heavyweight champion.

    Hey at least you didn't start with he's just a blown up cruiserweight yadda yadda . I'm coming at the question on whole, rated a great heavyweight trinkets aside. Bit backwards to validate the rotating dime a dozen line of trinkets but disregard a fighters complete body of work and history regarding the determination of 'a great'. Holyfield beat who was immediately put in front of him and was could be required to do nothing more after Tyson blew defining showdowns with him not once but twice. He picked up the pieces and soldiered on. Old or young both geezers earned their shots and Holyfield is gonna Holyfield..fight it out..but I'd hardly say he struggled to the point of not being thoroughly in control. And Cooper..come on man, Cooper on his best of best nights stands a chance to ding anyone going today. The late replacement for a late replacement for Holyfields homecoming. Evander got caught one or two whistlers and proceeded to batter Bert for his trouble. Welcome to the world of heavyweight bomb throwers. Some 'great champs' don't even recover. Sometimes they just get caught and flat ktfo .

    Rocky Marciano is definitely up there. You can say anything you want, but Floyd has a 50-0 record which is IMPRESSIVE to say the least. Despite of the cheap shot wins and in-fight injuries

    There are many fighters in this same conversation now who are 3 or 4 weight class title holders that are far from HOF worthy. Robert Guerrero comes to mind. I know there are many others.
