    I rate Holyfield above Lewis and Tyson.
    Some people seem to have Lewis as high as #3, and Tyson as high as #6.

    Holyfield would probably make my top 6 or 7. He is therefore possibly worthy of top 3 or 4. It is arguable.

    It puts me off him a bit for sure. Great fighter with tremendous heart and all round ability, but highly dubious like Vlad.

    Holyfield is the best HW since Holmes in my view, but top 3? That's a bit too high.

    Holyfield can be placed in maybe the top 15-20. MAYBE. But beating an old Foreman,Dokes,Tyson, or a Lazy Bowe doesnt qualify him being placed in the top 5 heavyweights. Much less top 2.
