    There's quite a list of people Holyfield didn't fight. But I'm not going to gold that against him because he beat/fought the guys that were necessary.

    Holyfield lost to B and C level fighters. Floyd didn't lose to anyone. That's the sad truth.

    His opposition is still streets ahead of Floyd's.

    Evander beat way more ATG's than Floyd did. And he did it in two divisions, too.

    Qawi
    Foreman
    Holmes
    Tyson
    Moorer

    Evander's list of ATG's > Floyd's list of ATG's.

    Foreman was 40 years old and had done NOTHING to warrant a title shot. Infact the Holyfield fight is what re energised Foremans comeback because the fight was competitive. In fact there were two other guys who were more deserving at the time, Tyson and Ruddock, Holyfield fought neither. So they had to fight each other while Holyfield beat up the bum Cooper.

    Holyfield was severely criticized for the Holmes fight because Holmes made him look foolish.

    Tyson was coming off a 4 year prison sentence and had barely fought 8 incomplete rounds in 5 years and was gassed after 4 rounds.

    Moorer was fat and out of shape for the rematch, everyone was laughing at him during the weigh in. Same as Bowe in their rematch.

    Anytime Holyfield fought a fighter in his prime, he lost. Bowe, Moorer, Lewis.

    Even if that were true it doesn't negate the fact Evander fought anyone on the radar, Floyd didn't. Case closed.

    Actually Holyfields best win is no different to Floyds.

    I do not like the way you disrespecting Holyfield.

    Holyfield was a warrior who fought everybody and much bigger men .

    And that gives him the right to pee on Floyd? Holyfield should show gallantry and grace in his old age, but all we see is jealousy and bitterness. It's pathetic.

    So does Mayweather have the right to pee on fighters from the past or even the present, or is he being jealous and bitter as well when he does it?
