    Does that summarize Holyfield as a cherry picker considering his body of work ?

    Oh, come on! Ali fought more top 30 ATG's than any HW in history, but he fought some real nobody's in his title fights too! Coopman was one of the maybe 5 worst defenses all time for a top 15 ATG HW champ. Wepner, Dunn, Evangalista weren't too much better.

    I'd agree if he didn't fight Terry Daniels and Ron Stander after Ali

    Surely Roy had a handful of names that fit that bill.

    David Zygwicz was the single worst title defense in history for any HW ATG top 20. DZ never beat any name whatsoever, not even a shot one. He'd lost a few times and only beat fighters with losing records, literally. His boxing license was suspended once before he fought Frazier for not appearing to know how to defend himself.
