Compare with Tyson against a younger Holmes.

When Bert Cooper had Holyfield in trouble and was about to knock Holyfield down, Holyfield had to be rescued by stooge referee Mills Lane---
with a perfectly timed standing count to enable Holyfield to recover.

Holyfield "won" the title from a Buster Douglas who didn't train and didn't even bother to show up.

Holyfield was the foulest fighter ever to hold the title.

The referees were non-existent in his fights.

And it got worse as he got older.

They might as well have let him bring a baseball bat into the ring.
Excelent post.
Evander was an excelent fighter.

Holmes was better when he faced Holyfield.
No he wasn't.
When holmes faced holyfield he was 4 years older heavier and slower.
Holyfield "won" twice by butting Tyson.

What a fighter.
True


For me joe louis duran dempsey,foreman and tyson were the top 5 in agression.
