Do you know what Holyfield's record as a HEAVYWEIGHT is??
24 wins
9 losses (that's not a type-o, he really does have 9 losses

)
2 draws
Wow! 24-9-2
Has there ever been a more overrated fighter in the history of boxing??
Nope.
Hail Sultan!
If Holyfield is that overrated what does that make Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis ??
What does it say about the following all time great heavyweights that beat this "legend?"
John Ruiz
Michael Moorer
Getting TKO'd by James Toney
Larry Donald
Chris Byrd
Sultan Ibragimov
In case you didn't notice................
That list (I omitted Riddick Bowe because I feel that he actually was an all time great heavyweight in his prime) isn't exactly a list of top heavyweights, yet they all managed to beat up on Holyfield.
Tyson was incredibly shot after his prison stint. People who actually follow the sport (not bandwagon jumpers like you) know this.
And Lennox Lewis (who I have also said is overrated many times in the past) accounted for 1 of his draws and 1 of his astonishing 9 losses, so I don't see where you're headed with that.
