    Dude knows nothing about boxing. Holyfield overrated? Pigs might fly, perhaps? Next thing you'll be telling us all Bernard Hopkins isn't an ATG.

    Idiot, ****ing idiot.

    Ban the ****.

    What has Hopkins got to do with EH?
    You just seem a little tense, maybe if you disagree you could try making a reasoned argument?

    What I was suggesting is that Holyfield's P4P greatness does not neccssarily translate into genuine heavyweight greatness. To last with Lewis as long as he did is a fantastic achievement, and the H/W victories he achieved are solid, but Holyfield is always judged as a guy who was punching above his weight.. If you disregard this and judge him only as a heavy I think he could be considered prominent in his era but no more.
