Holyfield was such class in the post-fight interview, unlike so many fighters who want to make an excuse. He gave all credit to Cooper. He could've blamed it on overtraining, going from the scheduled Tyson fight, then the replacement Damiani backing out, then Cooper. He could've chosen not to acknowledge that Cooper forced him to fight a war, instead he could've said, "yes I tried too hard for the hometown crowd" to Larry. All class.

I would argue that Holyfield is an underrated Heavyweight...on one hand he is the only 4-time Heavyweight champion and he gets plenty of recognition from all-time heavyweight greats debates and lists...on the other hand Holyfield's record as a Heavyweight was 25-10 with 1 NC and 2 Draws (one of which was an indisputable loss to Lennox Lewis, so he really should be 25-11 as a Heavyweight). That's not exactly a record that most would gush over. He fought a lot of good competition and had some wars in the ring, so he deserves the recognition, but underrated?? I wouldn't say that.

After breaking up with Joe Frazier in '87 (after the loss to Carl Williams), Cooper was never the same. Whit Lowery (the guy you see in his corner) was a good coach, but not a mentor unlike Frazier. And it was exactly what Cooper would have needed to have real success in the heavyweight division. Cooper smoked, did drugs and drank, then later in his career he started eating pretty badly, but when he was motivated and he didn't give up, he could have given anyone a hard time.

But he chose to get in yet another epic "avoidable" war with a journeyman fighter with nothing to lose.this is what keeps him from being in my opinion the greatest heavyweight of all time that lack of discipline to stay to a fight plan.
