overrated. just a big guy beating smaller.
and not all of them.
and that is after picking.
look what happened against ali , who was almost the same size. then jimmy young , holyfield.
foreman was a coward who would never agree to fight someone bigger than himself. and never did. and don't give briggs as an example because he isn't bigger.
look at the problems an asthmatic , fat out of shape qawi gave him.
Foreman and most of the old-timers at any weight but especially hw are over-rated. one should understand that in the old times (before 1950's) , when someone was successful it was because of one or two of the following reasons :
1. he was bigger
2. his oposition lacked talent
you can say it about today and it will be true , but , in those ancient times there were much fewer people on earth and less boxers and the knowledge about training techniques , fighting techniques , cheating techniques , diets , etc was much more limited and far less accessible than today and only those who had it had the chance.
it was much more difficult to learn about those things then in comparison to now.
