Holyfield used to be my favorite boxer back in the day. Back when he was a Cruiser Weight...and moved into the Heavyweight division. Dude was ridiculous.  I always knew he could beat Tyson...even tho all the Tyson groupies thought he was invinsible.  But its painful sometimes watching a once GREAT champion still fighting...

At least Holyfield won. He used to be my favorite boxer...and its been sad watchin his old ass in the ring these last few years. But he got the KO and he says he wants one of the Klitschkos...

I was a big Holyfield fan too. It's just getting sad though. Botha must have financial problems just like Holyfield to be fighting at his age too. What's even more sad is that there's nobody in the heavyweight division that's nearly as good as Holyfield in his prime. I'm a fan of the Klitschko brothers myself, but even their biggest fan has to admit that they aren't the greatest fighters in the world and are dominant for their size. There's no successor to Holyfield and that's really something the heavyweight division needs.

You don't think Lewis filled the role well? He may not have ever been a great marquee champ but he was as good or better than Evander skill wise I think.

I put Lewis in the same category as the Klitschkos as a boxer with an overwhelming physical presence except he was more skilled than those two. Without his long reach, Lewis would have been vulnerable with that chin of his. Rahman can tell ya all about that.

I'd say the Rahman fight was already past his prime. He didn't have the strongest chin but his skill set was top notch. He didn't beat Holyfield with size alone, he also out boxed Evander both times.

But it was a case of a stagnant champ against a hungry fighter. I wish we got to see them fight a few years earlier.

Right. If he fought Holyfield in his prime then that would of been a great fight. The two fights Holyfield and Lewis had weren't bad, but you could already tell Evander's career was winding down. That's crazy how it was over 10 years ago and Holyfield is still fighting.

To be fair, all of that is Holyfield's fault. Lewis was begging for fights starting back in 93. The commission kept fucking him over, first by calling the fight with McCaul and not letting him continue and then by giving Tyson the title shot over Lewis. Both Tyson and Holyfield dodged him for years and when they finally fought him he took them to school. I know he has the height and reach advantage but he can still box with the best of them.
