How Much Do You Respect Holyfield

[jimboinbigd]

Holyfield was best Cruiser ever and a warrior and excellent Heavyweight but he was also a doper and that knocks him down a peg or two in my book. Same goes for the Klit brothers, Pacquiao, and Mosley...among many others from the 90s and 2000s era.

Lot's of red there fella, and I'd like to think it was just from the nuthuggers of the fighters you've mentioned..

So can you please do me a list of all the fighters you know to have participated?

I think holyfield gets underrated

[Layzie Kidd]

^Holyfield is also the 3rd highest grossing Pay Per View fighter.


1. Oscar De La Hoya - $610.6 million on 12.6 million buys (18 events)
2. Mike Tyson - $545 million on 12.4 million buys (12 events)
3. Evander Holyfield - $543 million on 12.6 million buys (14 events)

After that its Mayweather.

In third place in buys, Evander Holyfield has achieved 12.6 million units ($543 million); and in second, Mike Tyson has reached 12.4 million units ($545 million). Floyd "Money" Mayweather has generated 9,6 million buys and $543 million in revenue

With his remaining contract, he should break the record or come in at a close second if he really does retire after his next 4 fights.

Thanks for those stats. I know Oscar was huge in his days but man, how did he do it?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Thanks for those stats. I know Oscar was huge in his days but man, how did he do it?

Because he fought everyone..

Beat Floyd's uncle Jeff mayweather in oscars fourth or fifth pro fight

Dominant championship level wins vs leija, genaro, molina, ruales

Passing of the torch fights with pernell, camacho, Chavez

Big time showdowns vs other undefeated great prime fighter Ike, Tito, Shane

Won a grudge match vs Vargas

Took big challenges like sturm and Hopkins

Fought the new eras best in Floyd and manny

Hopkins Floyd and manny were all p4p #1 when oscar fought them
Shane, Tito, pernell were all top 5 p4p guys

Oscar fought everyone, that's how he did it

[Anthony342]

And speaking of grudge matches, you can't forget Mayorga.
