Great video Rummy. Holyfield has more quality wins than most heavyweights so picking a top 5 is hard. I think you did a great job.
It is a good list, the only thing I disagree a little bit is the inclusion of the Tyson II win because that was a DQ and only 3 rounds. I am also not so sure Holyfield wins that one without DQ, at least the fight so far did not offer proof of a Holyfield win. Could be replaced with Moorer II or Quawi II for example.
Nice. The only one I would replace there is the Bite Fight, which was more of a circus sideshow than a significant boxing match. I'd throw Dokes in there instead. It was not only a great heavyweight fight (rare enough as it is), it was the first time Holyfield was physically and mentally pushed at the weight.
I agree. I was a teenager watching that fight live on showtime championship boxing and going absolutely nuts at the action
Great video. Its a tough prospect to do this for Holyfield because of how many great fights and wins he has. I think the Tyson 2 fight is more of a notable loss for Tyson than a notable win for Holy, but i can see the argument. I would of probably replaced that with Foreman (a fight that caught the publics eye at the time) or the Bowe win (Bowes only loss, fan man shenanigans). The Moorer 2 win was excellent as well.
Imo 1 - Bowe 2 - Tyson 1&2 3 - Buster Douglas 4- Moorer 5 - Foreman 6- Mercer 7- Qawi 8- Ruiz 9- Rahman
Moorer II was the one that was giving me the most trouble. Then I logged onto social media, and saw that Holyfield meme floating around, and that tipped it for me. Perhaps it's true that the Bite Fight is a more notable loss for Tyson than a win for Holyfield as @Pepsi Dioxide mentioned, but it's arguably the single win that Holyfield is most widely known for. I also was torn over the top 2 spots, and actually changed my mind on that one right before I began.
