    Both past prIme and overweight. It's idiotic to claim that beating a Foreman who had recently been taken to the butcher by Stewart or getting a premature stoppage over a Ruddock who hadn't logged a meaningful win in years is "infinitely" better than being the first guy to knock out an Arreola who came to win. that Are you done replying yet?

    klitschko stopped Arreola years before that and Adamek gave him a boxing lesson. no version of arreola beats any version of foreman, nor any nineties version of Ruddock.

    Foreman would've ducked him. Keep boxrec'ing. Stiverne was the first guy to knock him out. Adamek won a competitive fight because Chris was out of shape and gassed.

    arreola and stiverne are both made to order for foreman. short, fat, talentless punchers.

    Get off the forum idiot. No version of Arroela would see past 2 rounds against comeback Foreman. Alex Stewart very luckily escaped a second round stoppage loss and spent the remainder of the fight boxing off the backfoot.
    Arroela doesn't know the meaning of taking a backward step and would be battered senseless by Foreman.
    Morrison would also spark out Arroela and Stiverne would be 50/50 with the edge to Morrison providing its the version who beat Foreman. Which was the only big fight Tommy was 100% prepared for.

    Truth! Yeah comeback Foreman is old and all but we're still talking about GEORGE FOREMAN. Arreola belongs in a toughman contest not a boxing ring. Stiverne is just meh, he would have been fodder during the '90s

    Return Foreman was a brute savage and is extremely underrated.. He used pull his punches for fear of critically harming his opponent.

    He would have slept Wilder with a jab half way through the fight.

    Actually he was quite a clever brute savage. Wilder's wide open, George would have punched a hole through the target. Like up to the elbow

    They both have extensive am careers. Morrison didn't even know how to box but he still got his bicycle and won a decision, ugly as it may have been. Stiverne's heavy jab woild mark Foreman up if ****ing Stewart could. Foreman basically wasn't any good post Holyfield. He landed the punch he needed to against a weak chinned Moorer in a fight he was way down in, but loses to Morrison and Schultz and what easily could have been a draw against Stewart are telling of his level. Basically Botha's level.

    If by "exposed" you mean a technically flawed by obviously gifted power punching HW, then yeah he's definitely been exposed. The dude's power is special...believe it, don't believe it, I don't care...when you have that kind of power it can hide a lot of weaknesses. He'll lose at some point...no doubt, but if you really believe that whatever random heavyweight you prefer is just going to go in and walk through him, you obviously don't know sh!t about boxing. Nobody is walking through that right hand...nobody. People talk about his chin...is it worse than Fury's, is worse than Wlad's, is it worse than AJ's, I don't know...I guess time will tell.

    I pretty much agree with the top 7 here.

    Which doesn't answer my question: take out the champions and Fury and you're left with like three guys that you consider top 10.

    I'm asking about your top 10 CONTENDERS who are actually active, non-PED-suspended heavyweights.

    And LOL at David Haye as a contender. Who has he beaten in the last 4 years or so?

    Haye would be Wilder's best opponent by far.

    Put it you this way there are better undefeated fighters than Washington and at least 10-15 guys better than anyone he boxed. Do I really need to list them?

    Wilder has yet to face one title opponent ranked in the top ten by ring magazine. He has taken belt milking to a new level and continues to get exposed in victory during the process.

    Very true that version on Tony Thompson would have a very good chance against Wilder. Would definitely be Wilder's hardest opponent.
