The various arguments put forward are not very compelling. Foreman hadn't lost to Morrison at the time Bowe beat Holyfield and Lewis was awarded...
I was thinking about the smallest men who could beat Norton in his prime and Beterbiev seemed like a good candidate due to his power and overall...
Then why no attempt to fight Lewis, Bowe, etc. Foreman being willing to fight anyone doesn't seem to fit with his actions.
I see Briggs as journeyman gatekeeper level. I think it's a massive stretch to say success against him in any way gives us an idea as to how...
Beterbiev has devastating power. Can he stop Norton like Shavers and Cooney did.
Comeback Foreman should probably be favored over 12 I don't know about 15. He seemed to have better stamina.
I find it interesting that in the Foreman vs Usyk thread, Usyks cruiserweight opponents were dismissed vis a vis Foreman despite being probably...
But Kownacki was clearly struggling with guys one wouldn't expect a top 10 guy to struggle with and immediately following his losses to Helenius...
In some instances we can simply common sense. If Kownacki was a genuine top 10 heavyweight in addition to not losing to Helenius one would have...
Chisora clearly beat him though and Peter and Brewster were no longer top 10 heavyweights when they fought him. Who has Kownacki beaten that...
So do Gassiev, Joshua, Bakole, Makhmudov, Anderson and many others. Some of whom have higher kayo percentages than Wilder.
Stiverne fight 1 and Luis Ortiz are the only Wilder opponents for whom you can make a good case as being top 10 heavyweights. There isn't any...
Beating quality opponents is generally seen as proof of power. If quality of opposition doesn't matter then as of now Arslanbek Makhmudov and...
He didn't face them because they lost to smaller men. But a perusing of the top 10 doesn't really show a lack of big guys relative to earlier...
Since entering his prime Gassiev hasn't failed to stop guys though. His pre prime performances are no more relevant than the guys Wilder couldn't...
