    Klitschko is still active. If he has a successful carreer and unifies the titles (or at least some of them) you can argue that he's the best or one of the best, but at the moment he's still in the making.

    Foreman always fought around 220 and around 1977 just before he quit at age 27/28 he was fighting around the 230 mark. WALDO was 243 or thereabouts when he fought Brewster last week. This means WALDO is only 13lbs heavier than a 'blown up cruiserweight' :huh :huh :huh

    Foreman would look 'tiny' compared to Lewis or WALDO?? And to think you called me a moron :nut

    I agree Byrd is just a blown up cruiserweight though - and he's still the best win on WALDOS resume :good

    That would be "wins" not "win" as in plural since he beat his ass down twice. :yep :bbb

    I agree that Forman was no "blown up cruiserweight" though, in fact he was known as "Big George" back in the day. The ironic thing is that he was only 6'3" if I'm not mistaken (I'm too lazy to go to boxrec..............)

    I thought he was 6'4 but even so, 'blown up cruiserweight'???? Ali pre-layoff wasn't the biggest heavy but he'd have struggled to make cruiser that's for sure.

    Damn if the WALDO lovers want to make an argument then make one but saying **** like that is just idiotic. 'Foreman would look tiny next to WALDO' :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

    I believe Ali was 6'2" and I couldn't see him as a Cruiser either.

    Rocky Marciano would've been a Cruiser & he would've ruled there too! :good

    Ali was 6'3, plenty big enough to beat the sh.....no, I'm not going to bother :hey

    Marciano with modern methods would probably have weighed 20-30lbs more than he did back then. Hell if Tua can carry 240+ then Rock can carry 220 and they're the same height as each other. Difference is Marciano could fight :deal

    Let me say right now that I'm a big Klitschko fan but neither is the greatest HW of all time and either would have an incredibly hard time achieving that status in today's HW climate. Not that today's HW division is so bad mind you but the 70's & 90's are hard to match. The 80's basically sucked though, y'know during Holmes & Tyson's eras :yep

    As far as Rocky is concerned I've found that most people either over or under rate him. :roll:
