    I was debating him or Holyfield and Holy won out. But now that I think of it, Holmes edges both.

    Because He stank.

    No signature wins. Just hard to beat.

    That’s a very good breakdown. I watched the whole thing, and it is fairly put together. Very reasonable assessment indeed.

    The Bryd fight probably was the closest thing to a signature win, and in the face of that Fury fight not coming off and the failure of the Joshua challenge, it does not stand up as well (over all) against Ali, Larry, Lewis, Frazier and Tyson.

    However the longevity of Wlad and the difficulty in beating him will represent a real claim for top ten all time greatness.
