    Please, somebody tell me when Holyfields prime was?

    Losing against Bowe?
    Losing against Moorer?
    Losing against Lewis?
    Losing against Ruiz?
    Losing against Byd?
    Losing against Toney?


    Please, somebody tell me.

    Let me sum it up for you.

    "Holy was undersized but showed great heart against Bowe but lets forget he lost 2 out of 3 and fanman and bowe being real fat didn't have anything to do with his 1 win.

    Against Moorer he had a heart condition when he lost which is why he lost, one that magically cleared up and disappeared.

    He was too old, well past prime against Lewis but then really he won the second fight so I guess he was kind of prime.

    Forget the Ruiz fights, too old, tho don't forget the fact he won one of them and was jobbed in the draw and everything else after that doesn't count unless he wins of course".

    You have the top six exactly the same as mine and in the same order. And you have two of my bottom four on there too.

    You're a veritable ****in' genius lad.


    Keep on postin'

    I'd pick any of the ATG heavyweights to beat Lewis H2H - once. I wouldn't pick any of them to repeat that feat in a rematch.

    But he also had many boring fights just like wlad has. And Wlad has some pretty exciting fights. Your argument is weak because you only show Lewis' exciting fights but forget his boring ones, however for Wlad you remember only the boring fights. Bias is not pretty

    The longer he is retired the larger his legacy will grow. Well deserved, imo.

    You have Riddick Bowe above Frazier :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl


    Here is some free education; Riddick Bowe is the most overrated heavyweight in the history of the sport. He was made off going 2-1 in a trilogy with Holyfield, who also happens to be an extremely overrated heavyweight. :deal

    Defo a top ten ATG heavyweight. Beat the best out there, avenged his losses/draws, was ducked by Bowe and won just about everything he could
