Based on what? Marciano was a light heavyweight by today's standards and he seems like a terrible matchup for Foreman
Past heavyweights were often the size of cruiserweights so his cruiserweight fights should give us a good idea of how he does against smaller past...
I can't imagine anyone thinking Demsey was a worthy opponent for Fury unless Fury is shot to bits.
No better than the other little men who beat these guys none of whom I ever see picked over Lewis in fights.
What if world class doesn't translate across eras. Those big guys lost to other little guys like Gunboat Smith which makes Dempsey beating them...
Based on what? Can't see why he would be more favored than Beterbiev or Bivol or Marciano even
There were plenty of contenders of that era I would expect to beat Morrison Foreman Mercer etc. If Jesse Ferguson and old Holmes can beat Mercer...
Maskaev seemed to fall apart following the loss to Johnson. He probably was not at his best vs Whittaker and Sanders so maybe those fights are...
Fury has fought 3 guys ranked in the top 10. You think that might have something to do with him being undefeated? What if he'd faced 10 or 15?...
When has Usyk been dropped in the pro ranks?
I think its reasonable to view Wilder as part of the Klitschko era because he was ranked as early as 2013 and discussed as a potential Klitschko...
For much of Wladimirs reign Vitali wasn't fighting. He didn't fight at all in 2006, 2007, 2013, 2014, or 2015 and by 2011/2012 he was slowing...
That's true in plenty of other eras though. Holyfield and Lewis should have fought far earlier than they did. Tyson should have fought Holyfield...
I think Wilder and Povetkin could have been champions in the 1990s or 2000s as I would favor both over Moorer old Foreman and Rahman
People found it boring because of Wladimir and Vitalis dominance. The fact that top contenders didn't face each other generally probably didn't...
