Foremans fight against Jimmy Young being seen as another Rumble in the Jungle. There might be a handful of HWs who've ever lived who could beat...
You don't think Fred Fulton is a little more deserving of ATGhood than Gerry Cooney? Fulton has 72 KOs the only HW contenders with more are Archie...
And how are those people relevant in this discussion? By the "top level of heavies" you mean Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills. Not Sam Langford and...
Fulton is an ATG and was only not champion because of WW1.
He wouldn't have gotten the Charles wins if he didn't get title shot he didn't deserve coming off 2 losses. He would have lost to Bivins if the...
In the 6th round of a fight he was dominating. It was one of only 3 knockdowns Louis scored in his final 12 fights where he faced 0 200 pound...

Threads like this are why I pound the pavement raising awareness about Lloyd Marshall.
Comparing Wilder with his contemporaries is the worst way to go about proving he is a "fraud" because thats the light in which Wilders resume...
Walcott is not on this level and this poll makes him the most overrated boxer in history. I see Walcott getting 2 rounds of 10 against Tunney...
