    He fought him aggressively.

    Go and watch the fight.

    Exactly. He wasn't a natural heavy. He was naturally skinny.

    Okay, he wasn’t a natural HW. But he was a big, powerful HW when he fought George. And he’ll go down in history as one of the greatest HW’s of all time.

    He was not a big heavyweight or relatively powerful. Sorry but you talk crap.

    Good to see we have another 27 years to choose in the event one was undecided.

    At the time of writing I did, yes.

    However your second point is rendered moot by your first. Charles, Tunney and Langford were not LHW champions neither.

    He was the same size as George Foreman, but lighter with more muscle mass.

    Of course he was strong and powerful.

    Nothing about Holyfield was natural. Makes Jones look like a choir boy.

    We don't know. He didn't lift weights as a cruiser.

    He's just a troll with no arguments.
    He only looks at how famous/known Evander's opponents were compared to those of Roy, yet that has zero relevance in the p4p comparisons.
    Evander was a roided cheat who's best win is over a weak version of Tyson.

    He was big you imbecile. Why do you think he took all those steroids for ?!
    As Loudon said, he was almost the same height and reach as Foreman.
    And beating Foreman isn't that big of a deal. Any version of Foreman was slow and had average technique. All Foreman had is a very powerful punch, that's it.
    Morrison also beat Foreman, it's not such a big deal.

    Exactly, you imbecile. He had to add 30lb of muscle to compete at heavy. He was a cruiser, and a skinny small one at that. What he did was outrageous, the greatest ever.

    Tommy Morrison was a huge man, a huge natural heavy.

    I'm genuinely baffled by you guys. Clueless.

    So taking steroids in order to add some muscle makes him the greatest ?!? o_Oo_Oo_O
