But would it be more damaging to lose to Tyson in 1991 than to lose to Oliver McCall in 1994? Lewis could make the excuse that he was green...
Scenario 1: What if, after defeating Henry Tillman, instead of fighting Alex Stewart, Tyson and his camp set his eyes on another heavyweight...
Does Chagaev's victory and paper belt merit him an inclusion in the HW top ten?
Guys that Foreman knocked out in two rounds or less. Post 1972. There's Cooney. Jose Roman, but it's one round. Bert Cooper Adilson...

Anyway, I'd like to add that one thing that added to his greatness is his longevity. He entered the ring rankings of heavyweights in 1987, at no....
