I don't see anyone on Bowes resume outside Holyfield as being as good as Tua and Vitali both of whom Byrd beat. If you take Holyfield out of both...
As far as being world class at age 40 goes Vitali Klitschko was still considered the second best heavyweight at age 40 and Wladimir at age 41...
I think it's worth noting that Byrd and Ruiz are actually more accomplished outside their fights with Holyfield than the guys who beat him in his...
Lewis is widely regarded as the best h2h heavyweight these days and has some pretty humiliating losses so not sure I see the argument here? Is...

Cleaning out an era involves beating all or most of the top guys something Frazier manifestly didn't do. I don't see anything about changing...
Part of being great is ability to handle different styles. Evidence pretty heavily points to Norton being incapable of dealing with punchers...
He already decisively defended Quarry so legacy wise I don't think it makes sense to rematch a guy he already beat without controversy. He would...
By that logic nobody owes Wilder a fight due to his mediocre resume
The point is he didn't clean out his era or even come close. And dismissing someone because of a bad loss is silly. Foreman lost to Jimmy Young...
What's to stop him from continuing to fight the best after losing his title? Holyfield didn't suddenly stop fighting top opponents after losing to...
Plenty of people have tried to argue he is a top 20 heavyweight which I find silly given I can't rank him higher than 5th in his own era. He also...
His wins aside from Ali over rated contenders are Quarry, Young, and Bobick. Not really an awe inspiring list and to make things worse many had...
Take out his best win and you have lots to work with. Or do you disagree?
Also Frazier didn't come close to cleaning out the division he missed out on Lyle, Norton, Middleton, Shavers, Martin, etc among others and...
