    What happened to Eric Fields? He was supposed to be the next big thing.

    Lewis fought dirty, Tyson fought dirty, even Ali held behind his opponents heads but I consider keeping all of them in records as they deserve it and so does Holyfield. He is probably the fighter I am most suspicious that toke steroids but he was never caught so he stays in my book.

    Roy Jones Jr - Toney - Mosley (definate)
    Holyfield (most prob)
    Pac-man ?
    ODLH ?
    such a shame that some of boxing's great champions have this slur , I think it is a problem more in the states than anywhere else which would explain the ease in which US fighters go through weight divisions where as very few Europeans win multiple world titles. There are also rumours about David Haye which does not surprise me.

    People knock Floyd on here and sometimes rightly so but the game needs to be cleaned up ASAP

    The interesting thing is that Tyson requested extra drug testing for one of their fights and Holyfield passed the tests.

    That should of been an instant disqualification. I have never since the day I was born see such a horrific headbutt!

    i think a lot of pro athletes took or take steroids. i'm pretty sure evander wasn't the only heavyweight doing so. hahaha

    Kinda hard to erase his record IMO...I do understand what the TS is getting at though! Holyfield shot himself in the foot when he tried to get those PED's.

    Exactly. Holyfield's reputation as "head butter" is GROSSLY over-exagerated, mostly by Tyson fans who have never gotten over the fact that he owned their boy badly, twice. Seriously, I was a boxing fan throughout this era and no one talked about Holyfield butting until Tyson and his people started trying to use this as an excuse for his losing.

    The steroids stuff is just PURE speculation. When someone comes up with a positive drug test, then they have a leg to stand on. Until then, they're just blowing smoke.
