He's a great. Don't personally see what's patchy about his record pre 2000. He lost a trilogy to Bowe, fighting with illness in the finale but still giving him all he could handle. Avenged his defeat to Moorer convincingly. Beat Tyson twice, probably the best version of Tyson that was ever beaten. Got a dodgy draw against Lewis in the first fight, but was much better in the rematch, I watched it recently and that's the fight which should have been draw.

In the second best era of boxing (90's) he was second only to Lewis, He's certainly top ten of all time for me.
