Foreman and Bowe didn't face top 10 opponents unless they held a belt so realistically neither are likely to fight Whyte unless he became...
More than just Usyk for sure, probably Joshua and a prime Fury. A great defense is not required to be better than Bowe defensively.
Lewis lost to McCall and Rahman, Tyson lost to Douglas. Those guys had really bad losses that Usyk has managed to avoid thus far. If his...
Why not Roy Jones for one? Doesn't Roy Jones comnsistency counter Langfords resume edge?
Plenty of todays fighters are better than Bowe defensively. Moreover Joyce was never champ and has like two quality wins. Joyce briefly cracking...
In the 1980s and 1990s people called the eras horrible and criticized the lack of skill. You had guys like Bowe, Mercer, Tubbs coming into fights...
Louis has good wins under 200 like Baer, Schmelling, Godoy, etc
If your opponent is landing more punches maybe that counts more than whether shots were eye catching
Hearns would be a pretty heavy favorite I imagine and absolutely should be able to make 130 with early weigh ins
Most of Foreman's opponents are small cruiserweights by today's standards and probably wouldn't be campaigning at heavyweight today. So a modern...
Byrd was never the best heavyweight in the world. I don't think his career was better than Povetkins frankly.
With early weigh ins and rehydration Hearns, Leonard, and Robinson could fight as low as 130 and maybe even 126. Duran could fight Pacquiao at...
Realistically though a lot of these wins seem to be overrated. Why is beating Cotto or a faded Margarito a big deal? Or a shot Mosley? Marquez...
Some fighters don't rehydrate though. I recall Forrest being 148 for the Mosley rematch and Corley being 140 vs Ortiz.
Who believes that to be the case with hindsight though? In 2019 you had Zhang, Bakole, Parker and Kabayel among others. Given what they have...
