I think it's doubtful that the Tyson that Lewis faced was as deadly a puncher as the younger version.
A much older Holyfield was able to last the distance against Lennox Lewis who is as big as Bowe and regarded as a better puncher so it seems odd...
It's hard to see how Sibson could be favored over Monzon. The two did not fight in far-apart eras so one would think Monzon's vastly greater...
Moore was dominant at light heavyweight but less so at heavyweight. Given the great number of years between their eras it seems hard to gauge how...
I don't think Stewart had any wins over highly ranked guys. Foreman may have struggled greatly with him but a win over Stewart does not seem...
Lewis had beaten Ruddock, Tucker and Bruno among others. None of Foreman's opponnents were as highly regarded as these three. I don't know if...
Lewis had scored far better wins than Foreman had in the 90s and established himself as a contender while Foreman had not done so.

Lewis may have been coming off a loss but was still far more deserving of a shot than Foreman.
Foreman did beat Moorer but as others have mentioned none of the other guys he beat were rated very highly. Additionally, other heavyweights were...

Holmes, Holyfield, Tyson and Witherspoon were among the best 80s heavyweights though Holmes had faded by the mid 80s.
I don't think there is anything to suggest Michael Spinks was one of the outstanding heavyweights of the 1980s. His resume at heavyweight is not...
Foreman did not beat the very best heavyweights of the 1990s so his comeback does not hurt the 90s that much. A problem I see with the 70s...
There are some cool Hagler fights on youtube now fortunately.
