Why is holyfield so underrated?

You're weird and often uninformed. But for some reason I like you. You're harmless and over the top in an endearing way.

 

Lol you are so wrong. But it's not worth typing it all on my IPhone. So you win.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

please boy!! :rofl:rofl

whats their primes?

 

Holyfield deserves at least one deluded Internet soldier out there fighting for him lol

 

Can't argue much with Holyfields being you spanned it 10 years. But Lewis? Dude, your missing the entire first part of the 90's. Lewis was a beast. The most (maybe to this day) avoided fighter in boxing. Rid**** Bowe threw his world championship belt in a garbage can on national television and said "If Lennox want this title, he can come pick it out of the trash". was the most public duck I have ever seen.

 

Everything you say is true and then there's the fact that he considers the fat, out of shape old man that beat Vitali to be a prime version of Lennox.

 

Yeah. That part too.
Damn I miss the heavyweight division the way it was back then. Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, tyson. Boxing was awesome back then.

 

That certainly was great. But the lower divisions (130 and below) are freakin awesome right now

 

Holyfield's prime was 1987 - '93

Great fighter.

 

Yeah, but when you take on tough opposition you're going to lose some.

The Moorer loss was very close, could have been unlucky there, and he was clearly injured and already getting old. You only have to watch the fight to see that. He avenged the defeat a few years later.

The second Lewis fight was quite close. I thought Holyfield lost but, considering that some people think Lewis is so great, and Lewis was still in his prime, and Holyfield years past his prime, I'd calculate that prime-v-prime Holyfield was better.

 

Holyfield was the HW of the 90's he fought them all !! And closer to their best !

 

Ermmm...he's not. Well by some people sure, but if he was a white European, he'd be rated nowhere near as highly as he is now.

 

I rate him higher than Lewis on a p4p basis, if that matters.

 

Oh shut up you idiot, if Holyfield was white european, you and all your other stormfront buddies on here would be ****ing you pants all over him, and hailing him as the greatest.
