There is David Haye nowadays there was Frank Bruno in his day, Kenny Norton had quite a similar Body to Holyfield so I wouldn't say it neccesarily points towards steroid use.
The thing about steroids is you actually have to work out for them to produce results, so Toney is a poor example in Holyfield's favor. Remember Holyfield's heart problem that led to his suspension from boxing and his 'miraculous' healing? Steroids can cause heart problems and it could have been a matter of Holyfield not cycling properly. Also his recuperative abilities after he'd been badly hurt. Nobody is going to say Holyfield had an iron chin, but his ability to bounce back was bordering on supernatural. And look at his body since Balco broke. Looks starkly different, right? Sure, it COULD be because he's just getting older, but it could also be because his supply has been cut off.

Combine all that with the feds calling Evan Field's number and Holyfield himself picking up the phone. Now his excuse was he was getting his father's Rx's from there. He skipped every Rite-Aid, CVS, Walgreens and any other pharmacy for one that was 2 states away? How much sense does that make and why do you need an alias to pick up someone else's prescriptions? I just show up and give my wife's name when I pick up something for her.
