    So it proves that you were LYING when you claimed Holy "couldn't take punches anymore" at the time he fought Toney. He continued to show a solid chin for years after that fight & was never dropped or stopped again for the remainder of his career.

    Tyson couldn't beat that Holy either & was stopped by him - was he "not a real HW" too?

    Against whom?
    Holy didn't face any good fighter like Tyson or Lewis so he could prove he could stil fight hard and take it aswell.

    Yeah 7 before he fought Toney and was already past prime when fought Tyson from Bowe wars.

    So you're admitting that a HW had to be good in order to test Holy's chin? That would completely undermine everything you've tried to argue about Toney being "not a real HW" since he was the only HW during that time frame that succeeded in cracking Holy's chin.

    & Holy did fight good fighters during that time - he twice challenged for a title, including 1 fight where he was outweighed by 100 lb, & went the distance both times w/o ever being floored or in danger of being stopped.

    That'a like if you said Berbick is good heavy becauae he beat Ali even knowing he was faded and washed feom punches.
    Cracking Holyfield chin?
    You didn't watch Bowe fights if you think Toney first cracked Holyfield chin.

    Holy at that time couldn't beat Valuev, he was washed asf.

    You posted a "washed up Holyfield went life and death with Tunney". I don't recall that fight, personally. Was it a good contest?

    You haven't seen "The Eternal Count" bout?
    It was a classic for the ages.

    Mistake...you don't make them?
    What about Swag calling 34 pro fights fighter not experienced, isn't that even bigger mistake?
