    Foreman is a really unique sporting character in that he took 10 years off and was still able to come back and compete at the highest level. Many advances took place in that time and he was still able to compete well into his 40s.

    This idea that current is best is a myth. The better way of thinking about it is how did athletes compare with their peers. At the moment you can throw a blanket over 5 or 10 heavyweights at the top, they are all on the same "good but not great" tier.

    lol No I mean 55% of what he used to be prior to his exile from the sport and going on a 2.5 year booze, blow and junk food bender. He actually looks more like 53% to me than 55%.

    Fury got embarrased by a feather fisted fighter. Imagine he actually fought someone who could hit hard?

    Well that logic doesn't work. He's already beaten the hardest hitting heavyweight.

    The wallin fight was much tougher for him because wallin is a better boxer not because of his punch power.

    What's great about the division is there's loads of good fighters who can beat each other.

    Fury is flawed, lacks power, wilder can't box and AJ has no chin, Whyte gasses, Joyce too open, miller too fat, povetkin too old, Ortiz too old, the list goes on.

    It's great.

    A struggle against wallin just doesn't have any bearing on how he would fare against wilder.

    It just goes to show just how overrated Fury and Wilder are by main stream media and that they get given limited hand pickes opponents. Fighters such as Wallin, Spzilka, McDermott, Washington etc cause them trouble.

    True, style wise Wallin suits Wilder.

    Because he beats all you favourite fighters? Using cancer to describe someone shows what a little scrotum you are.

    He barely beat Wallin and has been dropped more than an escorts knickers you clown.

    Tyson = a stronger version of Hughie.
