    Chisora is garbage. 12 losses. No punching power. Slow as molasses. Wide open and easy to hit. He's a punching bag who makes Chuvalo look like an A class fighter.

    Stewart hit significantly harder, had better defense, and could actually use his legs. He was also a better combination puncher.

    The only one being disingenuous is you thinking Foreman would duck a journeyman with zero noteworthy qualities when he fought Holyfield, Moorer, Briggs, and Morrison. You're hilarious.

    When Pat M is the only one liking his posts in this discussion you know he's either drunk or stupid.

    It's not even about Foreman vs Joshua, it's about the choice of argumentation.

    He doesn't know how to debate. He changes the subject and criteria over and over like a child. I've explained this to him multiple times so he's either trolling or simply stupid. He's not even consistent with his own talking points and makes contradictory observations.

    Three attempts at winning titles against guys who were undersized or vulnerable or both. The guy he beat was both, a perfect opportunity.

    Briggs was an asthmatic who had just gassed out against Darryl Wilson. That was his audition for a Foreman fight.

    Holyfield was the lineal undisputed, undefeated champion. Moorer was a unified, undefeated, lineal champion. By all means, convince me those were somehow cherry picks.

    Bc they weren’t Bowe, Lewis, Tyson, or even Ruddock.

    Foreman had it together mentally in '92 (is that when he fought Holyfield?).

    Foreman catches Joshua with one of his surprise leap in snappers. All downhill for Joshua from there.

    Foreman looked like he got into a car accident after Stewart battered him In 92. That is distinctly lower than Joshia's level.

    Joshua looked like a jellyfish when Ruiz pounded him into the canvas.

    Joshua did the unthinkable and beat Ruiz in a rematch. Foreman never even took a rematch with anyone who took him to the wire, let alone beat him. In fact, God told Foreman to ditch boxing for a decade after a feather fisted guy with 20 loses beat him.

    There is some validity to this. That said, Moorer did beat the Holy who handed Bowe his first defeat...the same guy who in a couple of years knocked the bejesus out of Iron Mike and did surprisingly well against Lewis. I'd have to say Moorer was a far more legitimate champ than several others from that alphabet era. But maybe that ain't saying much lol.
