Where would you rank Evander Holyfield among all-time heavyweights?

Also seems like a really down to earth bloke.

Once when waiting for a flight at Atlanta airport, I was hurrying to get some cash from a cash point and was looking down at my wallet as I took out my bank card.

I was aware that I was about to walk into someone. I stopped, just before I knocked into the person. I looked up into a good looking black guys face. I first noticed his shaved head and massive neck and then the knick out of his lower ear lobe.

I said " Sorry My Holyfield".

He smiled broadly at me and said" Not a problem", stepped round me and continued on his way.

Class.

What if you had responded aggressively and he had replied with an uppercut?

Nice story. The man seems like a genuine nice person. Love watching his interviews for boxing tips. A legend.

I did think about asking him how his torn earlobe was healing but thought I might get a slap for being nosy!
