See, the problem is accomplishments in one era don't translate to success in other eras. The 70s lacked skilled super heavyweights like Joshua...
Anyway, I don't think Dempsey would be successful against the heavyweights of today and I don't think Foreman would be either for that matter....
Foreman spent much of his career fighting men who weighed significantly less than he did. It's easier to look strong when your fighting smaller...
Another point regarding Foreman is that many people seem dismissive of the idea that a smaller man like Dempsey or Marciano could outslug or...

It does appear that in the past being over a certain size generally did not help but I would hold that the quality of big men has changed over...
I don't see Marciano beating them either but I think he would be competitive up until the Tyson era. By the way, I think Ali was 6'2 1/2 though a...
Much of Liston's rep as a puncher was built against guys who would be cruiserweights today like the tiny Patterson.
Again, Ali fighting guys over 200 pounds is not really relevant when the division's top contenders are 245-255 pounds. There is no reason to...
Ibeabuchi, Bowe, and McCall are some other good examples.
Later heavyweights like Vitali and Joshua are probably pretty safe pics.
The criticism of the size of Marciano's opponents is silly as I noted because many past champions including Ali faced fighters that were much,...
During Foreman''s heydey he was one of the bigger, stronger heavyweights at the elite level. So it's no surprise he would give the impression of...
Joshua is not only significantly heavier than 70s Foreman he also seems to if anything have a more muscular physique. In addition, based on...
and yes, Joshua is definitely stronger than Foreman
