    Against Nicolai Valuev or David hayes.

    Bare in mind that Holyfield was shot to pieces and 46 years Old. And Haye was Prime. :huh

    Holyfield obviously.

    Although all of Holyfield's career is tainted since we don't know which fights he fought in his "Evan Fields" persona.

    Absolutely.

    Holyfield was 46 y.o. and had only 10 days to prepare (Golota was expected to fight Sugar Nick, but lost to Ray Austin, so Sauerland picked beyond shot Holyfield in less than 2 weeks).

    If Evander was ever 'off' then it's Valuev fight as he had less than 2 weeks to prepare.

    Well, Haye won, and was the only man ever to rock Sweet Science Valuev. He wouldm have had him out of there pretty soon.

    That of course is WRONG. Jean-Francois Bergeron heavily rocked Valuev and had him out on his feet.

    Making Valuev do the chicken dance was one of the highlights in boxing history. No matter what anyone thinks of Haye, you can't take that away from him.

    Not any special achievement considering journeyman BERGERON had Valuev out on his feet and do the chicken dance just like that.

    Ok, "Haye and BERGEON's chicken dance achievements are two of the pinnacles of boxing history".

    99% of World Champions used some form of performance enhancement supplements

    A boxing average joe will still be a boxing average joe after using everything Evan Field used :smoke

    In 1988 Holyfield was an 18-0-0-0 (KO 14) Undisputed World Champion of the 190 lbs division

    At that time he needed old school roids to move up to 210, Thanks Roids :nod
