He's really going on the attack here which is good but doesn't totally clear your name. I have had my suspicions in the past about him BUT...

read the latest scoop and ask yourself "Why was he using a fake name to get them?"

this gut sets my theory that hes the most overrated fighter in the history of boxing, in concrete

this chump lost 8 times!!!

including losses to such heavyweight greats as: michael moorer, john ruiz, larry donald chris byrd, and even got tko'd by the heavyweight bruiser, james toney. all of this while he was on steroids

that guy flat out CHEATED and it wasnt good enough for him to beat the fellow heavyweight chumps (excluding toney but how the F*** do you get knocked out by him??)

thoughts?
He hasn't been the same fighter since he fought Lewis for the first time. It was pretty clear that a 38 year old Holyfield couldn't cut it against the best. He only lost 3 times before the age of 38. He has a record of 4-5-2 past the age of 38. That's like saying the recent losses RJ or B-Hop suffered "peppered their primes"

And in the 3 losses, he lost his first to an in shape Riddick Bowe in an absolute tear up, fight of the year. The next fight he dropped was against Moorer in which Moorer probably got a gift decision. Then after avenging his first loss to Bowe they fought again and Evander was doing well and it was another awesome scrap until hepatitis wore him out.

2 losses to Bowe in 3 great fights, and a controversial decision loss to Moorer which he avenged by KO'ing him and he's overrated? If anything he's underrated in a sense, because possibly the best part of his career is largely ignored, that being him the greatest cruiserweight of all time.
