    Old Foreman was one of the worst lineal heavyweight champions of all time, but that is not the point.

    The point is that this was twenty years after he lost the title, and that makes it a unique accomplishment in the history of the sport.

    It might just have been the best win in the history of the heavyweight division.

    Yes it’s overrated if you were looking at it as if it was one career, it is impressive for a man his age but… as we are learning quasi-recently at heavyweight age is defied plenty so I’m not sure anymore.
