    Foreman was such an unorthodox but effective fighter. He's top 5 HW at the very least.

    I find it strange that everybody loves Foreman but Wilder takes tons of crap for his technique. I've got Foreman in my top 10 but My top 5 is
    Ali
    Louis
    Lewis
    Holmes
    Holyfield

    Well, Foreman's competition was much better. He proved his style was effective against great fighters. Plus, he might have been unorthodox but he wasn't out there going off balance with every punch leaving himself wide open.

    Wilder came SO close to stopping Fury. Ko of Ortiz. Then you know, everybody else he's fought. Wilder doesn't go off balance usually unless he's actually sitting down on a hook or going for the KO. Foreman has a better resume, but Foreman just had better fighters to fight.

    Big difference from beating the likes of Fraizer, Norton, Lyle and Moorer to beating Ortiz, Duhaupas, Stiverne and Arreola.

    I think he became more loved after his second career too which was almost a miracle at the time.

    He does fight like the mummy though.
