    Bowe #2 & Qawi #1 not wins , Moorer #1 was won by Holyfield , so I will go :
    1. Tyson #1
    2. Moorer #2
    3. Qawi #2
    4. Tillman
    5. Moorer #1

    Holyfield fought seemingly unmotivated / seriously shot Douglas , Tillis & Thomas , just my current take on it.
    Not to mention Foreman & Holmes , both 13 years older than Evander , with Holmes being annihilated by Tyson prior to fighting Holyfield.
    Maybe Dokes should be in really , but I m not sure if I watched it and if I did it was only once.

    You guys arent doing Holyfield any justice by putting Tyson on there.
    Best win over a guy who just came out of prison about 1 year ago?

    Surely theres better wins.....

    I would say the Bowe win was better than the Tyson one

    Bowe was the better win but beating Tyson put him in that all time great category. Holyfield wanted that win more than anything else in his entire career.

    There were several wins that he had, which all could have made top five. As a rough list

    1. Bowe
    2. Tyson
    3. Douglas
    4. Qawi
    5. Dokes.

    But the foreman and Moorer wins could have just as easily made that list. Most do not list douglas presumably because James was in such **** poor shape... I include it because it was for the heavyweight title and Evander won it in very decisive fashion..

    I would have put Bowe #1 if he wasn't out of shape, and I probably should replace Mercer with Dokes

    Evander is the man in my book. In the 90's when ducking, and excuses were the trend. Holyfield wasa champion's champ. He could have easily took on easy opposition to keep his belts in tact but instead he gave us fight fans the top fights with the most dangerous competitors.
