    I’m not even going to bother picking apart all those wins some of which are LHW wins and don’t qualify and against people who got KO’d by Jake Lammota for god sake.

    Ezzard Charles beat more ranked men at heavyweight than Young did and also held the distinction of being the heavyweight champion .

    For a start some of those don’t qualify as they were LHW wins and how is Bob Satterfield and Joey Maxim even relevant as good wins men who lost to people bellow LHW. Lol

    Be real Foreman would stomp everyone on that list with ease and I’d bet my house on it.

    Believe only one wouldn’t qualify and thag would be Moore win. And he has a better HW record then everyone but foreman on young’s list. I think you’re trolling at this point.
