Is Foreman Frazier the greatest win of all time?

Yeah man it probably is the most dominant, greatest win ever.

You couldn't beat a more qualified person, in a more dominant fashion than that.

 

Well put :good

 

I never thought of it in such a way, I'd put it contention with Joe Frazier's win in the FOTC and Duran over Leonard in Montreal and who can forget Tokyo Douglas? Or Toledo Dempsey? All in all Kinston Foreman was good.

 

Maybe a list of fighters and then cull them?

Dempsey - Willard
Johnson - Jeffries
Louis - Schmeling
Liston - Patterson
Ali - Liston II
Ali - Foreman
Frazier - Ali (FOTC)
Ali - Frazier (thrilla in Manila)
Foreman - Frazier I
Duran - SRL
Duran -Barkley (duran says it was his best win)
SRL - Hearns
Hagler - Hearns
Douglas - Tyson
Tyson - Spinks
Hearns - Duran
Hearns - Cuevas


this should get things rolling. FWIW, my personal favourite is Duran over Barkley because of the advantages Barkley had going into this fight.

 

I I give the edge to Joe Frazier vs Muhammad Ali and Roberto Duran vs Sugar Ray Leonard. I would put it on par with Jack Dempsey vs Jess Willard.

 

Chavez vs Taylor

That fight was incredible!

 

I remain bothered by the way this one ended.

 

Taylor didn't answer Steele.

 

Yeah I know. 2 seconds though . . .on the other hand Taylor was probably not the same afterwards. Steele's connection with Don King combined with Tyson vs Ruddock taints the whole thing for me.

 

Probably the most devastating win over an unbeaten Hall of Famer.

 

Kid McCoy's victory over unbeaten Tommy Ryan was much more impressive to me, even if it occupied many more rounds.

 

Love to see Hearns - Duran in there too. Possibly Cuevas as well.

 

Frazier was a bit past it, realistically.

 

Frazier was past it...he was never the same after the FOTC in 1971.
