    I wouldn't be picking them.

    Next up Alexis Arguello and SRL.

    Put SRL on Holyfield's diet and training then he might too.

    Prime Foreman before changing his style via Clancy of the overflow was younger and far more destructive than old George. Axel would have been a statistic.

    He pole axed Frazier and Norton - an ATG heavyweight and a not far off. Please let me know what guys old Foreman beat that equal or surpass these two.

    Sounds a bit like Usyk.

    Usyk is a CW. Thank you for your agreement.

    And still good enough to beat one of the best heavyweights around today. How big was Byrd when he made Vitali quit?

    205 is a heavyweight. Like Frazier. Like a lot of guys Foreman beat. There was no day before weight in.

    As PS said Usyk whupped Joshua. Thank you for noting Frazier is of a similar size to a guy going around whupping the current super heavyweight top dogs.

    How big was Byrd when Ibeabuchi knocked him out? How big was Byrd when Wadimir mauled him?

    Usyk weighed 220 lbs if you recall things correctly. Ofc you ignored how different Usyk and Frazier are.

    You can find examples of bigger men beating smaller men, and vice versa at any level at heavyweight. An in-depth analysis brings you to the conclusion that bigger in all cases means better is a wrong train of thought.

    Example of the first sort vastly outnumber examples of the second sort.

    You were the one fixated on supposed size deficit not me. You were also very happy to label Usyk as a cruiserweight yet now you feel the need to label hi a 220 pounder.

    Predictable.
