yeah lol But basically every top cruiserweight list will have Holyfield at the top by a wide margin. He was just so dominant for that span of time.

You can never transport a player into todays standards tho lol. Athletes always get bigger, stronger, faster, etc. You cant take a Center in the NBA from 40 yrs ago that was only 6'7" and say....technically today he would be a small forward. So he's one of the greatest rebounding Small Forwards ever lol

That logic doesn't ork here. A 6'7 centre is a centre ad plays as a centre. Playing SF requires a very different skill set. Rocky Marciano was knocking 200+ guys the fuck out. Now all he'd have tro do is knock out guys under 200 lbs, and that would be easier. Fucking guy went 49 and 0 in the hardest division in boxing with 43 KOs, and now you want him to fight in one of the easiest divisions.

That's like asking Ty Cobb to hit 400 in a softball league. He hit 400 three times overhand. No problemo.
