    Holyfield is a first ballot HOFer and a top 25 ATG in my book.

    I voted yes, HOF and ATG. He should consider retiring, but he hasn't.

    This is why it should've been made public, just so we can see who it is if someone votes for anything other than the first option .

    do remember fans, there has never been a unanimous vote. You'll be surprise if someone votes another choice which contradicts your opinion.

    Indeed. Holyfield is one of the top P4P fighters of the last 25 years, and the greatest HW champ since Larry Holmes. :yep

    The HOF thing shouldnt even be up there he solidfied himself as a HOFer in 1992 whatever he did since was just icing. The ATG great thing to me isnt very debatable neither but its not as bad as questioning if Evander is a HOFer. To me a ATG is a guy whos accomplishments stick out among the greats at his weight class but also a guy on a head to head basis could go in any era and compete with and beat some of the other greats from different eras. To me Evander Holyfields accomplishments are out of this world and head to head he could beat some guys id favor Ali,prime Holmes,Joe Louis and others over him but to me he could go in and beat the 70s Foreman or Fraizer or Jack Dempsey ETC. So to me Evander is both I rank him in my top 10 all time Heavyweights.
