Foreman by far, beating most of the top talent in the 70's is a great feat by itslef, winning the heavyweight crown again during his second run when he was old in a talented era was phenomenal
Take away Foreman's comeback in the 80's that culminated with the KO of Moorer, Foreman by a thousand miles. Include it, Foreman by the distance of a solar system. Golovkin spent his prime beating up the likes of Macklin and Geale. Foreman bounced Hall of Famers around like basketballs. Whoever's fault it is, Golovkin doesn't have a KO win against anyone who'll be remembered in 10 years, let alone 40.
Between the guy who looked like a beast destroying Frazier and Norton, and the guy who looked like a beast destroying Macklin and Curtis Stevens.... dammnnnnn.... what is a tough choice.... I'll have to give it further thought and come back with my answer later.
Agreed. For me, he fits into the "very good" category. Jacobs and Canelo have proven that he's no great. Golovkin will make the HOF, because it's a popularity contest, but he's not a true great.
GGG a great middle , a terror at his weight but Foreman imo s a absult legend . Smashing the man who beat THE man in two rounds for the title then regained it 20 years later !! No question for me which is the greatest .
You cannot compare GGG who fought Canelo with Foreman fighting Ali,Frazier, Norton, Holyfield etc. Lyle. I don't think GGG can ever match Foreman.
