    Title fights is all well and good and they're very similar in regards to 5 wins each but what about their overall record ?

    If i'm listing their most notable wins...

    Fury has...

    Wilder x2
    Whyte
    Cunningham
    Chisora x3
    Wallin
    Johnson ?

    Foreman has....

    Frazier x2
    Norton
    Moorer
    Lyle
    Peralta x2
    Chuvalo
    Stewart
    Savarese
    Cooney = inactive though.
    Cooper
    Qawi = Didn't belong at Heavyweight though and it was a mismatch in size.

    Foreman does have a very top heavy resume and the bottom half is kinda whatever....but i think he does have a bit more depth overall and he has 7 wins against ranked opponents compared to 3 for Fury.

    Christian Hamer was a top 20 or top 15 guy when Fury beat him.

    I would switch Chuvalo and Peralta on your list and not rate anyone below Chuvlao as worth much. At the end of the day, Foreman had two pretty bad loses in and around his prime whereas Fury's worst outting to date was a win over Francis that he took way too lightly.

    I heard Ali has 35 wins vs ranked fighters is that true?

    I would like to know how many guys like Holmes Louis Wlad who are all in a ball park for title defenses had.

    I think Ali has 30 and Louis has 33 but don't quote me on that.

    Holmes had 15 wins against ranked opposition.

    Lewis had 13 wins against ranked opposition.

    Wladimir had 9 wins against ranked opposition i believe.

    Possibly the worst post you’ve made.

    And, yes, that’s a huge statement, considering what we’ve had to endure from you.

    Ha!

    Floyd had to drag a 36 year old Marquez up 2 wrights, before then deliberately cheating him on the scales.

    He had to force Canelo into a catch-weight, despite the fact that they both fought in the SAME division.
