In order to be a top 10 70s heavyweight he would have to be ahead of Holmes Foreman Ali Weaver Coetzee Norton Frazier Young Lyle Tate Among...
Norton was considerably earlier so not the same Ali and most had him winning. Spinks also lost to Coetzee in one round
Many champions have a few guys like that as defenses but they generally also have tough defense against highly ranked contenders. It's not...
Joshua's considerably more accomplished than Cooney though with actual quality wins. Who did Cooney stop via body attack?
Who cares how big they were? Savarese was a journeyman who never cracked the top 10 and Grimsley wasn't even journeyman level. Briggs was...

Usyk should easily beat Cooney given he's already beaten numerous guys better than Cooney with better attributes. This is one of the most bizarre...
Most sports require the top guy to prove themselves against the best if they want to stay on top on a regular basis. No reason a champion...
Sure but Louis wasn't known for great defense and was dropped multiple times by guys who were not heavyweights by today's standards. What...
Realistically though guys Tyson beat like Ruddock or Bruno could potentially beat the best guys Foreman beat h2h. Ruddock seems like a horrible...
Charles has way more depth to his resume and was on top for roughly 3 years. Seems reasonable to me if you value depth.
