    Bruce Seldon clearly wasn't a great champion but I was looking at YouTube videos and came across him fighting Tony Tucker. I want to know how you people think he would do against these champions. Could he beat any of these guys.

    Muhammad Ali
    GeorgeForeman
    Ken Norton
    Joe Frazier
    Larry Holmes
    Mike Tyson (Of course he did fight Tyson and was stopped. I believe he took a dive. How much better do you believe he could do if he didn't type a dive)
    Riddick Bowe
    Evander Holyfield
    Tim Witherspoon
    Tony Tubbs
    Frank Bruno
    Wladimir Klitschko
    Vitalli Klitsckho
    Anthony Joshua
    Deontay Wilder
    Joseph Parker

    You could name other modern champions from Liston to today that I misses. The only person Listed I would favor Bruce Seldon over is Joseph Parker

    Bowe took him out in one round.

    I think he might beat shot Ali and Leon Spinks.

    Well he could beat any of these guys if they were really washed up though. I should of stated do you think he could beat any of these guys in their primes. I did forget that Bowe stopped him. Didn't punch him when he was already down though?

    That was Buster Mathis. Jnr, that is. You have to make the definition, Rock Newman was so cautious with his matchmaking.

    First Seldon was never worlds hwt champion. Second he was a terrible fighter lacking any symbolance of heart and will to win. He would not be favored over many of the fighters on the list.

    Well we all know he wasn't a great fighter, but he did hold a piece of the title. You said he wouldn't be favored over most on the list. Well which fighters do you think he could beat in their primes?

    Awww internet insults? Did your daddy not bang you good last night? I could of sworn you weren't suppose to be online anymore. You know since you used to try to solicit sex from minors over the internet. Also maybe you should learn what ignorant means. But you bore me. You should feel honored that somebody like me would even type to you. Now begone. You won't get another response from me because I will have block you now.

    The only one I bang is you. Speaking of getting back online, you must have just been able to get the power turned back on, after dodging your landlord by moving during the middle of the night. You're a pathetic piece of garbage. Is English your second language, either that or I remember you don't even have a GED. "I will have block you now". Learn how to type, and get lost, you're not wanted here, things were much better when you were gone BlackHercules, now BlackPanther.

    I really don't see him beating any of those guys in prime tbh. Sheldon was a heavily muscled guy with a decent jab, but his chin couldn't really take a good punch. He got lucky against a faded tucker but didn't really attempt anything against Tyson apart from throw a few jabs. He would probably out point a washed up ali at the back end and defeat Leon spinks. I wouldn't favour him over Tommy morrison or mercer from his own generation.

    Seldon was a big disappointment watching him coming up he had great speed and skill and a good punch he just seemed to fall apart very quickly and disappeared.shame.

    I'm sure he already did lose to Tony Tubbs.
    A past prime Tubbs schooled a prime Seldon. It wasn't a close fight.
    Tubbs knocked him down too. Or maybe Seldon just flopped on the canvas for fun, as was his habit.

    Seldon was awful.
