How great were the Heavyweights in the 90s really when old Foreman beat some up??

Ok

 

I honestly think bruno would be a solid number 3 potentially even a world champion in today's heavyweight scene

 

Arent the Heavyweights from 2000-2010... The same ones from the 90s?

 

No Frank Bruno would not beat either Klitschko. Sorry, just not happening. I'm not even a Klitschko fan but Bruno couldnt take either.

 

Bruno easily beats wlad

 

if bruno doesnt beat either brother i see him 100% being the number 3 guy. cant see him beating vitali but maybe has a shot against wlad.

 

Old ass Grant gave a shitload of troubles to Adamek. Adamek also went 12 rounds with obese bum McBride. Vitali got half of his face torn off by old Lewis.

Fringe contenders from the 90s would be in today's top 10.

 

How do you think some of the 90's heavyweights would do against Tony Thompson, Mormeck, old Rahman, Adamek, Huck, old Briggs? Foreman smokes them all.

 

they were pretty darn good, compared to the ones we have today, aside from wlad and vitali.

Foreman didn't beat up a single HW in his comeback. Who did he 'beat up'?

* He got lucky landing a single punch vs. former LHW bum Michael Moorer. Foreman was getting clowned and beaten up by Moorer for 10 rounds before getting lucky.
* Then Foreman got embarassed by German nobody bum Axel Shultz in a 12 rounder that everyone who had their glasses on thought Shultz should have won. But Don King made sure the judges gave it to Big George.
* Then the IBF ruled Foreman has to fight Shultz again because the fight was a robbery.
* Foreman ducked the rematch and fought Briggs for the ridiculous WBU belt and again he gets embarrassed and loses a SD.

Foreman faced C level contenders during his comeback, he looked utterly terrible and using a combination of luck and criminals robberies made a few millions. Do not misinterpret this as 'weakness' of the 90s or superiority of a shot, fat Foreman. It is neither. Just a freak accident.

 

Going twelve rounds with a prime Evander Holyfield was a freak accident?

I do agree that he avoided some of the best fighters around (barring Holyfield) but he actually improved somewhat from his 70's self. He was much more composed, poised, calm and henceforth a more accurate puncher and a far less wasteful one.

 

Moorer was the only real top rated HW that Foreman beat. Although what Foreman did was no doubt impressive (historic in fact), it wasn't as if he was beating the top HWs around. The only contender of note he beat on the road to the Holyfield title shot was Adilson Rodriguez, who had gotten starched by a single overhand right from Holyfield.

Alex Stewart's own manager publicly expressed doubt about his ability to take a punch and his psyche leading into the Foreman bout. He had gotten taken out in 1 by Tyson, lost a brutal fight with Moorer in 4, and was no longer considered a viable contender.

Pierre Coetzer was a fringe contender coming off stoppage defeats to Bruno and Bowe, when he took a bad beating.

With the exception of Moorer, Foreman beat journeymen and fringe contenders.
