    Who do you think was more exciting to watch and who would you rank higher? Who holds the better wins on their resume? Real Deal or El Terrible.

    Holyfield by a fair margin on all counts except excitement.

    I'd say Holyfield for greatness, but 'El Terrible' isn't far from anyone for excitement. Anyone. Still, I'll give Evander the edge here as well.

    Holyfield and I can't really see an argument against him here.

    Holyfield went from cruiserweight to heavyweight and fought almost every significant heavyweight except the Klitchkos and Tua.

    Dead even. Who did Morales miss? Same can be said for Holyfield. Tough call ranking a higher weight guy vs a lower weight guy since Holy couldn't go anywhere after CW besides HW

    Morales hardly scaled much weight...just stopped cutting less weight.

    He essentially went from lightweight....to light welterweight ;)
