    I have him at #3, below Charles and Ali and above Lewis and Holmes. Also, please no Mike Tyson nuthugging, PED user and headbutting bias.

    I think I had him at 11, but I got no problem with him as high as 3, really. Unfortunately you have him above Joe Louis, which is a bit off.

    Who said he is in top 10? Between 10-15. He lost almost all of his most important fights.

    I have him above Louis because Louis had a far inferior resume than Holyfield.

    Firstly, Louis's record is not inferior to Holyfield. Secondly, why the hell is Charles second place? Thirdly, Holyfield is definitely not top 5, only 8-10 at best.

    And care you explain to me how Holyfield's resume is superior to Louis exactly?
