I find it extremely implausible Foreman could match strength with these men who not only outweigh him by 25-30 pounds but also are extremely...
Moore would probably be competitive in heavyweight eras up to the 80s when the size explosion became more pronounced and the smaller heavies...
When did Foreman fight a skilled opponent with such a huge size advantage. Were talking 30 pounds, 3+ inches in height. Foreman is used to being...
It's quite possible that Moore would not be competitive today but what of it? I don't think Ali's competition would be able to thrive in later...
I think someone like Joshua or Lennox would have a great shot at stopping the 1991 Foreman, he would be fighting with bigger stronger men for a...
Over time the bigger fighters have gotten more skilled. I'm not convinced that Ali or Holmes would be able to compete today given today's top...
If someone like Spinks had won the title in the 50s (with 7 pro fights no less) no doubt people would continuously bring it up as evidence of how...
I would say Leon Spinks winning the undisputed heavyweight championship and a badly diminished Ali clinging to the title is more indicative of a...
Given how many fights against elite-level opponents Moore had I don't think getting stopped 4 times is at all a mark against him. In more recent...
During Marciano's prime Charles was the only one to last the distance. To consistently kayo such opposition is impressive. The fact that people...
As far as Charles and Moore being light heavies.....Jimmy Ellis and Patterson were the same size as Charles and they were contenders in the 60s...
During Ali's prime Rudi Lubbers, Mac Foster, and Buster Mathis all went the distance with him. Juergen Blin made it into the 7th round,...
I would disagree that Frazier has the better resume. Aside from Ali (who beat Frazier 2 out of 3) I don't see any edge for Frazier. Marciano's...
None of the guys Ali beat were big by today's standards. Foreman weighed 220 against Ali, that's roughly 30 pounds less than Joshua and far less...
Also, I find this fixation on the age of Marcianos opponents to be perplexing. Lennox Lewis was 36 in the rematch with Hasim Rahman. Did he look...
