    Go away you tool.

    Evander only fought in TWO divisions yet has more wins over ATG's than Floyd does.

    :rofl

    Holyfield handpicked prime Bowe, Lewis and still very good Tyson in total of 7 fights.

    What a handpicker :patsch

    He'd better fight Seldon (=Ortiz), Botha (=Guerrero) or David Izon (=Berto)?

    Holyfield said Pacquiao won the fight against Mayweather. I'd take whatever he says regarding Floyd with a grain of salt

    Sorry anyone quoting Evander as a reliable and knowledgeable source should get his brain checked.

    What!? You can fight a guy like Ruiz when you've fought Tyson twice, lewis twice, Bowe 3 or 4 times, Moore twice, Tony, Mercer, Holmes, Foreman, etc. Don't even put Floyd and Evander in the same sentence, like putting a ballerina with a warrior.

    I would still like to see Floyd against fast boxers that are taller than him. Like Amir Kahn. How many fighters had better height and reach than Floyd, that wasn't slow?

    He was also almost definitely a drugs cheat. That's why I have very little time for Evan Fields. I doubt he cares though...

    Holyfield is broke as a joke and close to brain dead but he did fight everybody. He will get pats on the back and a few crumbs thrown his way but that's about it. Floyd Mayweather fought everybody who counted, amassed a half billion dollar fortune, left then game on his terms and will go down in history as the greatest boxer of his era and an all time great.
