    Nah, back at you.

    With the exception of LL, all the other fighters you listed were very fat and Foreman was old as the Sun.

    Bottom line is his second best win was against a fat Foreman. A 28 year old Holy needed GH and steroids to win a semi close decision against a fat man in his 40's.

    So, it sounds like you aren't very impressed with Holyfield. No HOF and certainly not an ATG in your book?

    And, by the way, Bowe was not fat.

    Riddick was a bit chunky.

    Even prime, he - while not quite a Buster Douglas - was no Evander Holyfield, in terms of sculpted physique. Closer to Buster's end of the spectrum.

    (not that you need one in boxing)

    First ballot HOF. One of the best HW's of all time.

    Bowe stopped Holyfield.............................Bowe was lazy, Eddie Futch had to kick his arse and even then it did not always help. If not for Futch, Bowe would never have become a champion..............
