Oldest champion still to be Foreman

Cool, glad it will still be GF's record

 

Foreman won the REAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.

Holyfield is fighting for a WBO title.
Of course if he wins he plans to take on the other titlists and establish himself as the real champion.
It's unlikely that he'll do that though. Still, I guess only a few people have a better chance of doing it at heavyweight at the moment.

 

:think

 

Times have changed my friend

 

foreman still is oldest champ even after bhop but not oldest to win it !

 

a 45 yr old will never be hw champion again..the division was ****ing shite back then regardless of what people try to say..i mean if a fat head can come back and win a title it just shows u it was ****ing abismal..but ofcourse it was an awsome era because there was yank champions

 

:nut

 

b-hop= 46

 

Holyfield got robbed against Valuev that would of had him break the record. What does this tell you about the current Heavyweight era?

 

He would have been in now way the lineal champion. Holyfield would have ben destroyed at any stage vs vlad.

 

I could actually see vitali make a comeback for this in 5 years just to break that record if there are some weak beltholders which is really possible.

 

An incredible accomplishment! I don't think Foreman gets near the credit he deserves :fire When he beat Moorer at age 45, he busted the record books and engraved his name into boxing immortality :thumbsup

Oldest HW to win a championship title (45 years)
Largest age discrepancy for HW title fight (19 years)
Longest span in between HW titles (20 years)

He's also the oldest HW to lose the belt :bbb:!:

I doubt we'll ever see this again in HW boxing fight fans! :-(
Here's to Big George :good

 

it tells me don king is a corrupt **** and thats the only reason valuev had the ****ing wba title to begin with..valuev is prob one of the worst champions of all time..and all because don king wanted to make money on his freak show..so please revert to sucking **** as ur nonsence post means nothing..foreman winning the title then shows how poor the division was that a fat has been came back and won a ****ing title..but yet it was meant to be superier just because the so called bigger names actually fought each other??please tell your story walking

 

Stupid post. Valuev beat ruiz on a questionable decision, moorer beat holyfield on a questionable decision. Foreman beat moorer at a record breaking age. Holyfield beat valuev at a record breaking age.

The comparison is valid and you can't use one to deride one era.

The reason the 90's was a great era is because it had names like foreman, holmes, holyfield, tyson, lewis who are all top 15 heavyweights. It also had bowe who is a top 30.

This era has wlad, who is top 15 and vitali who is top 30.
