    Foreman says Liston could push him back and he was the only man. I say Foreman has an argument for being the most overall physically strong, durable, big puncher in championship history. A freak of nature. And had a lot of craft to make all of it count. I would want not one thing to do with this scamboogah in his prime or twenty years past it. He's at least top ten, for me. I agree, top five is a good placement. MAYBE he's just outside of it. There are several super bad men in these ranks. Men like "Big" George Foreman, George "Big" Foreman and Fore "Big" Bigman, the seventh Duke of Georges.

    If we're speaking purely about prime, the match he got with Holyfield would have been very, very different.

    During his prime Foreman never paced himself. He was put on the deck by Lyle and Young. Evander would TKO Foreman.

    @RockyJim

    I'm still waiting for your reply. I KNOW you saw it.

    Just like you've obviously seen the dozen or so times people have shown you the Shavers vs Williams fight.

    Rocky Marciano would be very disappointed with you blatantly ducking and running whenever your views are challenged. He would not run away like you do all the time.

    This is an intervention.
