    I think he cracks the top ten, however his alter ego (Evan Fields) puts an asterix next to his achievements.

    Nobody seems to rate Trinidad or Mosley lower so Evander shouldn't either.Could you name a top 10?:think

    01 - Muhammad Ali
    02 - Joe Louis
    03 - Sonny Liston
    04 - Lennox Lewis
    05 - Joe Frazier
    06 - Jack Johnson
    07 - Mike Tyson
    08 - Larry Holmes
    09 - Rocky Marciano
    10 - Jim Jeffries
    11 - Harry Wills
    12 - George Foreman
    13 - Evander Hollyfield
    14 - Jack Dempsey


    So 13, but I think anything between 9 and 15 is ok.

    Huge fan of Holyfield so I am just as delusional as he is, Honestly the Holyfield that fought Dokes and Douglas was a package you just didnt see in any of the other heavyweights, Speed Power reflexes work rate chin heart stamina, he had it all and I bet that the Holyfield who fought Douglas would beat Ali

    Thanks. Foreman could stand to be higher based upon the second career, but it's ****ing tight in the second clutch. I just think Foreman is a horrible fighter. Tyson, on the other hand, is probably the most dominant HW champ of all time - until he lost ;)

    Tyson wasn't as dominant as Lennox or Ali IMO

    How the hell do you have Tyson that high?Or as a matter of fact over Holyfield?Resume and direct fights are in favor of Holyfield.Liston is too high too I guess.Foreman should be upper.
