    It's not. Foreman-Frazier was much more dominant.
    Foreman just had Frazier's number.

    That's a good one. Though I think Frazier and foreman are overall greater than Tyson and Spinks

    Pac-Barrera was an absolute drubbing, but probably not on a par with Foreman-Frazier.

    Sanchez-Gomez springs to mind as well.

    That's a good one but then again the pro Gomez crowd will say Gomez was nowhere near his best. Though I think sal trounces him every day of the week.

    Not on the scale of Foreman-Frazier, Nunn was very good but no ATG & this fight still upsets me :-(

    How can you absolutely school McCallum & then get sparked in a round :conf

    Pip is not an ATG though. Nothing more than a guy who can ping that looked good vs C level comp

    also throw in both were undefeated. for an undefeated guy like frazier who had steam rolled everyone up to that point, to get demolished in 2 rounds was shocking.
    not only both undefeated but both heavyweight gold medal winners at heavyweight in the olympics :deal

    Norton and Foreman was pretty bad too

    Norton honestly is overrated though and was not on Fraziers level

    Lewis beat an old lion

    Nothing world class about Mike at that point ... he honestly just wanted to finish his career with that fight
