    Lennox Lewis was knocked tf out by journeymen Oliver McCall. Ali would have been ko’d by cooper if it weren’t for the cut glove. Foreman lost to Ellis. Mike Tyson went life and death with journeymen tillis. Andy Ruiz is better than all of these fighters who gave atg’s problems. The list goes on for huge upsets. It doesn’t mean wilder is on the same level as aj

    He got a belt but for the most part he was a high end journeymen, low end contender at best.

    Can go with that some. A little bit too much sparring partner mentality as well. Not to mention coke...:(

    Sorry, Lewis, Foreman and Ali all fought and beat many world class fighters.
    Nobody fighting at heavyweight currently has done that.
    Now, you can argue that they are good, but haven't had chance to prove it, and it would be difficult to argue with you in a sense.
    You cannot however say they would beat Ali or Lewis or anyone great just because they are big, when they have all done so little in their careers.

    You clearly didn’t read my original post correctly. I said a lot of people think that the classic fighters win based on pure nostalgia while others say the modern fighters win based on size. I never picked a side. Also this post strengthens my argument that great fighters have struggled or have lost to lesser opponents

    LHWs haven't been strong at HW since at least the fifties.
