    When did I make an argument that Usyk is a top 5 HW?

    Fury was knocked down 4 times by Wilder who is nowhere near as skilled a boxer as Foreman. Twice by Ngannou who was a debutant. Fury had the first 10 round title fights at HW since WW2.

    There is no proof Foreman had a stamina issue. He went 12 4 times in a row in his late 40s and his style was based around wearing out fighters much younger then him. Even when he lost 10-2 to Tommy Morrison he won 2 of the last 3 rounds and would have been the fighter who'd benefit if the fight had been 15 rounds. Against Jimmy Young he got knocked down tripping trying to get the KD or KO in a fight he was narrowly losing. Foreman could contest the full 12. In his first career he just never needed to.

    Lol :lol:

    This is just desperate. Frazier, Norton and Lyle would destroy Ortiz.

    You really sound like a bitter Boomer. Frazier 1 would be competitive but Ortiz for sure would wipe the floor with rest.

    Not really. Tyson and Holmes were probably better than the current guys. But Usyk has a better 5-6 fight streak than them and might even beat a prime Holmes.

    I am not a boomer.

    Ortiz is an overrated fighter who would get ko'd in 2 rounds by Lyle. Frazier would maul him and so would Norton.

    Wilder was a protected fighter who spent his whole career avoiding anyone with a pulse. Only someone completely unobjective would claim Ortiz would have a snowballs chance of beating a Frazier or a Lyle.

    Wilder is inferior to Foreman in every single attribute including power.

    Lynn Ball and Jimmy Young.

    I’m not sure what Wilder and his opposition by proxy did to upset you, but thoughts and prayers

    You’re right !!! Yeah that fight totally counts !!! Maybe if a 76 year old Holmes fights and loses to Paul BEFORE Paul fight Joshua it’ll make the victory even sweeter !!

    I’m guessing you would’ve been triggered by Ali going to Japan to get kicked in the legs by that one guy.

    I’m guessing you’ll eventually start a whole thread about how Joshua beating Jake Paul should place him above Joe Louis. Or do you already have him there ?

    Jake Paul helps fighters not end up like Louis. Perhaps you should direct your anger to a different celebrity.

    Ali should have insisted on boxing rules.
