    As I came across a lot of criticism of Foreman, I began to wonder how many heavyweight greats have a more impressive win than his knockout of Joe Frazier in their first bout?
    I'm talking only about the best wins of the greatest HW fighters, let's say top 20 heavyweights of all time, so no Rahman vs Lewis or Douglas vs Tyson type of wins.

    So, what’s your opinion - what are the best heavyweight wins in that context?

    This will surely turn into a another 70s vs modern heavyweights thing.

    But from a historical sense I don't think there are many victories which would rank above it that aside.
