That was 3 consistent tweets on his top 2, marciano and louis. Yes Foreman is fickle on alot of things, but of that, he's not.
Wlads best wins - Haye , Byrd , Chambers , Povetkin , Igbramov , Chageav.. All average to small sized HWs. When Lewis fought a top SHW he won , when Wlad fought top SHWs he lost.
Wlad's quality of opponents does not compare to Lewis' Wach unranked Austin unranked Thompson2 unranked Rahman unranked Leapai unranked LL Golota 5 Ruddock4 Jackson8 McCall Champ McCall 6 Holyfield Champ Holyfield Champ Tucker5 Ackinwande7 Briggs7 Vitali 5 Tua 5 Grant 3 Tyson 2 Rahman 9 Rahman Champ Correction Briggs was number 5!
Moreover ! Haye,Byrd,Chambers,Povetkin,Ibragimov,Chagaev didn't prove (Basically did nothing remarkable. ) big talent after the klitschko loss. But Bellew debunked Haye's and Joshua debunked Povetkin's correct value. Byrd wasn't only small he was fat,featherfisted and no to mention he was easy to hit (The slow Ibeabuchi proved this.)
Povetkin would probably be favored over anyone Lewis fought bar Vitali. Better competition according to whom?
Also some of these ratings seem pretty dubious. I can't see any case for Phil Jackson being a top 10 and I see very little case for Briggs. There is no way Mike Tyson deserved a number 2 ranking based on his recent form though he might fit in the lower top 10.
I once thought this but no way...no way is Lennox the greatest of all time. That would be Joe Louis for heavyweights, and Sugar Ray Robinson P4P. Lewis does crack the heavyweight top 10, however.
LOOK THEM UP.Then come back and say yes you are right! All we get from you is "probably" ,"might be" ,"seems" Briggs was 30-1-0 and had beaten the lineal champion George Foreman just 4 months earlier ,why wouldn't he be ranked no 7? Jackson was also 31-1-0 and hadn't lost a fight in 2 years he was number 8. Tyson was number 2 whether you like it or not. Speaking of liking, I don't think I've seen a post from you that wasn't totally negative about the subject of the thread. Do you actually like boxing or just come here to expend your excess vitriol?
He was not the greatest. He had a big size advantage which helped him win, but his defense was average at best.
Tucker. Same height and weight Golota. Same weight Grant. Taller and heavier Vitali .Taller Bruno. Heavier Ruddock. Heavier Ackinwande .Taller Mason .Heavier Butler .Heavier
