Boxing is back big time.

Well sir, I am not sure what to think about Evander but until he lost to Lennox Lewis he was always considered to hold at least a share of the true title....the case could be made for him more than anyone else and I think given what he accomplished and who he fought and beat he's in my Top 10 Greatest Heavyweights of All-Time. I still would have liked to see how he handled Ruddock, Morrison, and Golota

Yeah me too. I think he would have KO'd Morrison and Golota and decisioned Ruddock talking all on their best nights that is.

Oh of course Evander would be the hands down favorite, I would just like to see him dismantle those very dangerous power punchers (Morrison and Ruddock) and then totally school a guy (Golota) who just might have been one of the best fighters to never win a title. I would be interested to see how Evander dealt with the uppercut of Razor Ruddock.

Evander could have even given Ali and Joe Frazier trouble in their primes. However that being said even Old George Foreman gave Evander hell, Evander said George hit him so hard it made his teeth rattle.

Foreman was a brick wall that wouldn't fall for Holyfield and then Foreman just started hitting Holyfield with good shots that would have made many other fighters fall, but I think that was an "off night" for Evander, of which Evander seemed to have a few and he was unpredictable as to how he was going to perform, especially in the early 90's.

But on his best night I would put him in top 5 all time HW's. Then again he is my favourite HW of all time and maybe i'm playing him up a bit??

I think Evander wanted make a statement vs Foreman but he also thought it was going to be easier given Foreman's advanced age and only Evander's ability to modify his gameplan saved him that night.

Evander is definently an All-Time top 10 heavyweight, great great fighter and if he was in his prime right now he would be extremely difficult for any of these current heavyweights to beat. He had power when he needed it, he had good defense, and he had a hell of a chin and his work rate was exceptional

In the UK at least, Haye is doing his own boxing PR tour. For what he has achieved in creating interest by beating the giant, compares to what others are doing.

Manny and Floyd are the top dogs and sports fans will all know who they are and how great they are, but much like the Nintendo, people from all walks know who Haye is and wanted to watch and get involved. I'd be suprised if you did a UK survey and more people across the general public knew who Manny and Floyd were than Haye.

For that I give him credit. He's been on pretty much every TV show possible pre and post fight creating interest in him.

No doubt the other two are bigger and better stars, without a doubt. But you cannot knock what Haye is doing. He has a plan and so far it is coming off.

Holyfield was very inconsistent, against Bowe he was winning but got into a brawl with Bowe who was landing low blows, nearly KO'ed by Cooper, struggled unduly with Homes and Foreman. On his day he was a handful but beatable.
