I gotta say, as easy as it was to pick Basilio, Chacon and Saad Muhammad, the other two were difficult picks (hence the best of the rest top ten at the end)!! I think a great argument could be made for Erik Morales to be fair. Holyfield was indeed a warrior, great battles with Qawi, Stewart (first fight), Dokes, Mercer and Bowe to name a few. Jake LaMotta intimated that his own greatness came from special moments in his career such as the storming comeback against Dauthuille. That goes double for Holyfield, a highlight reel of his 'warrior' moments would be quite something to behold. Ha, yeah sorry Kelsey, you’re a big Commander Vander fan eh?

I can't believe he didn't warrant inclusion! Great article, though. The Real Deal was as warrior as you can get. I can’t believe he didn’t warrant inclusion!
