    I don't agree on Holyfield. There was no need to fight Larry Holmes at that point.

    Mike Tyson in his first title reign always fought the best available. It wasn't until Bruno that he didn't fight the top guy, but even with Bruno and then Douglas, I would hardly call that cherry picking.

    Early in his career? LOL...You mean round his first 85 fights! JCC didn't fight any opponent of note to damn near 90 fights into his career!
