Am I correct in saying Holyfield never had a point deduction in his entire career

^ I agree he was one of the best ever. I remember reading an issue of the ring magazine from the late 90's or early 2000's and they had a feature ranking the greatest heavyweights and he was ranked 3. I didn't agree with that at all. Far too high. Saying that he was a warrior. The headbutts were out of order though. I'd take a fist in the face over a head any day. I remember watching the Dokes fight and he hit with a low blow as well as a headbutt at the same time. Have no idea if he received a deduction though.

The "REAL DEAL" Holyfield, was quite appropriate.
TBE Crusierweight who would demolish every single one of today's CWs in less than 1 year.

 

Ruiz took about 3 minutes to recover. That has to be some kind of a record.

 

Last time Ward did it? Back in 2010.

 

How can you not be? He's one tough sob. Standing toe to toe with men like Lewis much bigger than him and keep coming he's a beast. I appreciate him more now looking at our current crop of pansies at hw. I'm sure he'd go through the lot them

 

The issue is I've never been a huge fan of cruiser weight and I'm only 29 I didn't really get into boxing seriously till later. I've heard cruiser is his best weight. Give me 3 fights to watch 2 at cruiser and 1 at heavy.

 

Like Orca said, he even had the headbutt, lowblow combo in his arsenal. He actually added a kidney shot follow up to it near the end of his career.
