    Can you talk me through this?

    And this?
    And why these two are higher than Witherspoon, Tua, Byrd, Ike and Fury

    In fact even Rahman, Povetkin and Peter

    Holyfield has a better resume than Lewis, but Lewis was more dominant so I can understand why someone would put him over Holyfield.

    Both Wlad and Larry have weak resumes but Wlad was more dominant so i ranked him higher but I've changed my mind and now think Holmes ranks higher than Wlad, because he has the superior resume

    I included Briggs and Moorer because they fought better opposition than anyone else I could think of, but now that I really think about it, I would replace them with Witherspoon and Byrd. And I didn't include Fury because I need to see how his career plays out first.

    How in the name of Sanity can Foreman rank above Lewis Holmes and Tyson.
    I love the site and all.its debates but Foreman is the blind spot on here
    What the hell is it with this guy ?
    The sheer mythology of the man overrides all evidence and reason.
    I dont dislike the man and yes hes an extremely significant figure in boxing history, but people who seem sane in every other conversation lose all reason where this guy is concerned.
    It's insane!! Lol
    I will duck for cover , I can see an army coming over the hill with red trunks on !
