I used to think Samoans were like the biggest people on earth, but my friend who is an ethnic studies teacher, insists that, overall, caucasians...
Jimmy Thunder knocked out Crawford Grimsley with his first punch, and Foreman couldn't drop Grimsley in 12 rounds of fighting. Same for Lou...
I think quality of opposition played a huge role. After Holyfield, George fought guys that were a little better than his early comeback victims...
As have been mentioned already, fighters can be downright unreliable when rating other fighters. The magazine GQ had a write up about Holyfield...

Why does Foreman always have to be the hardest puncher of all time? Why does it offend so many people to raise the possibility or assert that...

It's still impressive that a natural middleweight was able to hang in there twice with a big, strong, hard-punching heavyweight like Peter. And in...
