It's arguable though that SNV's sheer greatness has contributed to the view of the current era of heavyweights as a poor one. He's simply so far ahead of the rest that their own talents get overlooked. Now that he has retired I feel we will see a positive reevaluation of the top talents of todays era - Holyfield, Ruiz, Liakovich, Bergeron, etc - as people realise that they may not have been able to compete with the GOAT, but they bear comparison with the likes of Frazier and Foreman.
