How many heavyweights could have beat Caracas Foreman?

Early on, I thought his chin was the reason he fought conservatively, but after he proved his chin against Fury in that third bout, I think you're spot on regarding his stamina being the reasoning for it.

 

Forgot Frank Sanchez.

 

I think its reasonable to view Wilder as part of the Klitschko era because he was ranked as early as 2013 and discussed as a potential Klitschko opponent. Some of his more memorable knockouts also took place then like the infamous kayo of Liakhovich where his opponent went into convulsions.

Maybe you could add Ortiz and Pulev to the list. What do you think? They seem like the most dangerous aside from the guys I mentioned.

 

Who beats Caracas Foreman?

Muhammad

Maybe Sonny
Maybe Larry
Maybe Joe

 

I see the Klitschko era ending in 2015 and being taken up by Fury.

There might have been a slim overlap, during which Wilder was rated, but his title run didn’t begin until 2015. I no more include Wilder in the Klitschko era than I include Vitali K as part of the 90’s era.

Besides, as already mentioned, Wilder never faced either Klitschko. Ortiz falls into this bracket as well. He is neither a Klitschko era Heavyweight nor did he meet either one of them.

I don’t particularly rate Pulev. He’s a half-decent Euro-level operator, but he hasn’t achieved much, if anything, at world level and his efforts when given his world title shots have been poor, in my opinion.
