    If the size gap would be as big as it was between Foreman and Frazier, then absolutely yes.

    Okay.


    George destroyed Norton and Frazier x 2.

    He then came back after 10 years out, which culminated in him beating Michael Moorer at 45, to become the oldest ever HW champion.


    So how was beating a bunch of B and C level guys at MW, a better achievement?


    Tell us.

    Also, tell us how GGG ranks higher.


    Based on what exactly?

    Tbf the weight gap between Foreman and Frazier wasn't too big. Foreman obviously significantly taller.

    In the rematch they were more or less the same weight I think both weighed 224 pounds (possibly slightly heavier on fight night)

    It was more the fact Foreman was a bad matchup for Frazier.

    But what does that mean??

    More skilled??

    James Toney was much more technically skilled than what Harry Greb was.

    Yet he has no right to be in consideration to be the GOAT like Greb has.

    Look at the whole picture.

    Tell me what criteria you’re using.

    Foreman size wise is significantly bigger then Frazier regardless of weight especially as Frazier gained weight as he got older.

    Yeah he is no doubt naturally bigger than Frazier but I think it was more than Foreman was a bad matchup for Frazier.

    I was more saying at heavyweight that's a normal size gap nothing too out the norm.

    Exactly. We see bigger size gaps all the time at heavyweight. Frazier has beaten men as big as Foreman. It wasn't necessarily a size issue, Foreman was good as dismantling pressure fighters. Frazier could've been as stocky as Golota or Povetkin and he'd have still lost

    Because of his size lol
    Who? Bugner and Buster? Frazier has always struggled with power punchers and neither of the big men he beat were power punchers.

    Whats your criteria on struggling ? Most atgs have been dropped by power punchers. Frazier beat every puncher he faced apart from Foreman. If size were a big factor you'd see a trend with Frazier struggling with bigger fighters.

    It's kind of funny you always repeat this stuff like a broken record. Foreman beat him by keeping him from setting a rhythm and timing his head movement with uppercuts. It wasn't really a size issue, it was a tactical issue and Foreman is an all time great puncher that could do damage quickly

    You probably equate George beating Frazier, to a MW beating a FW.

    Ha!
