    I don't think so. His true peak was during the two one round no contests on his record.

    Guys that could beat him are Holmes, Liston, Holyfield, Lewis, Usyk, Louis and maybe even a Walcott would give him trouble.

    The fight was against a little LHW fighter with a negative style. It wasn’t exactly like Foreman was the one playing keep away.

    Usyk, Louis and Holmes would he nightmare oppositions. Foreman’s corner would tell him to only accept the Louis fight as his last.

    Maybe Holmes, Walcott, Michael Spinks if he doesn't get intimidated and that's it.

    Maybe Gene Tunney if he box careful but I don't think so.

    That's the beautiful thing about Classic H2H matchups, you get to pick the absolute best version of a fighter and not worry about all the times he stank the joint out :p Tokyo Douglas is crazy powerful in these parts

    He's almost as powerful as Jack O' Halloran was in Superman II.
