    It seems a lot of Holyfields credit comes from opinion rather than fact.

    Yes, but I also saw Lennox beat Evander twice.

    What total BS.

    Hollyfield is an ATG fighter.

    Lewis is an ATG fighter.

    It's as plain as the nose on your face.

    Now that the "blown up MW" thing has been officially squashed, we shift gears to calling "Lights Out" a natural MW...:lol:
    Although, "natural" may be a better selection of words, it is still incorrect.

    JT was upwards of 180 pounds in high school...calling him a natural middle, is a stretch...more accurately he was an unnatural middle weight. He boxed for 46 months at MW begining in '88 (not even 4 years), and has fought above MW for the last 15 years.

    The fact that he is a fat HW doesn't make him a natural MW. :smoke

    The Christian God lied to him. I think that would have upset any man.

    you forgot to mention he doesnt headbutt on purpose, he does his best work inside and well things happen.

    you missed the advanced class.

    Whats even funnier is that its true!
    Toney exposed Holyfields glass body, and it is just waiting to get smashed again.
    I wonder if his terrible punch resistance to the body has anything to do with his rampant steroid use?

    Holyfield was ONLY 3 years older than Lewis. Lewis was fresher but his size may have always taken the W over Holyfield. Beating Holyfield 9-3 and then 8-4 (how I had it) is allot to turn around. Holyfield was in great shape for both fights.

    When was Holyfields peak anyway? When he was having a hard time with Ancient Foreman/Holmes or getting beat by Bowe?

    I would make Lennox Lewis the faveourate over any of those versions of Holyfield. Especially as Holyfield was smaller back then
