Tyson Fury also dwarfs Ali and Foreman. Yet many people think they could beat him are these people also irrational fanboys
Why would Lewis duck a guy who was thrashed by Andrew Golota
Why is thinking Holmes could beat Joshua any less crazy than thinking Marciano would beat today's top heavyweights a proposition many people here...
The lack of success by Holmes sized heavies in the past 21+ years seems like pretty damning evidence against Holmes being able to compete with...
What makes you think it could match the 2010s?
Foreman and Ali are little next to Fury
Not at all, Liston would be heavily favored to beat everyone in the world in 1956 and 1958. He went through the period without losing and beat...
One issue I take with Holmes is his ducking he failed to fight so many of the top guys of his era like Dokes Thomas Coetzee Tubbs etc that it...
Tim Witherspoon arguably beat a prime Holmes. This doesn't give me much confidence of his chances against Povetkin let alone a giant like Joshua.
Whether he is better than Holmes is hard to say but the only guy to beat him in his prime was Wladimir. He's certainly closer to matching Holmes...
Povetkin was pretty good
Anyway, I would say that competition wise they are pretty close. Neither had really exceptional competition but Monzon pretty comprehensively...
These big supposedly slow guys have shown themselves to be too much for any Holmes sized heavies in the past 20 years. Why can't any of them rise...
Duran was not even close to being a great middleweight, beating him at lightweight or welterweight is a good feat but not at middleweight.
So who did Hagler beat? I don't find his competition at all impressive
