    Please take a look at my current HW top ten. Actually, you might think my list is a load of crap! So use your own. But anyway, where (if at all) would you rate 'prime' Old Foreman today, if we disregard the achievements of his initial career, and look at him as a different fighter in the second career? This thread was inspired by another. Thanks

    2. Wilder
    3. Ortiz
    4. Povetkin
    5. Pulev
    6. Parker
    7. L Browne
    8. A Ruiz
    9. Miller
    10. Whyte

    There is room for Foreman in the 7-10 spots. This has to be the most unproven, and older top ten I have seen.

    To make matters worse the new normal is the champions won't fight each other, let alone other top ten opponents. We'll see, Maybe Joshua will fight Povetkin later. He's 38 now and has had two workman like performances in a row.

    Yes, I'm sure others could come up with a better/personsl/more educated top ten of today's heavies. This is just my opinion, and a starting point. Anyhow, I would guess Old Foreman could break top five. But he's so difficult to assess. Because if we take him as a completely different fighter, he loses the intimidation factor.
