    I thought Foreman won that fight by close margin

    I specifically stated early comeback Foreman. . Foreman at 46 years old has nothing to with anything I posted.

    Schulz was robbed. Look at the media cards or listen to the commentary.
    The entire fight was crooked.
    Foreman came back at the age of 38. It is his fault that he had no good fights until he was in his 40s.

    His second career was carefully protected. Even a delusional poster like you should know that.

    I agree with the judges and Larry Merchant.

    I have no problem with Rocky at 3. Or Jack Johnson high (I don’t rate him there personally but I get it. Same w Jeffries I don’t rate him that high but he did accomplish a lot in his time.

    much of this is subjective. I for one rate Liston and Lewis very high while others don’t. Depends what you find important. I don’t rate Holy highly but others do. It’s all opinion. I personally don’t rate pre 20s fighters to highly because of lack of film and what appears to be a large disparity in skill (I know different gloves required different skill set but it’s to different then the last 100 years for me).

    I think they are judging on importance from historical perspective rather than who is legit best head to head.

    The Iron Sheik should be number one.

    Lennox is too low, Tunney and Dempsey are too high for me, but it's not that bad

    The real travesty is Jeffries below #2. He carried dead wildlife long distances on his back. You couldn't ask for more from a heavyweight champion.

    Nice try- Joe Louis carried the pride of his nation and race on his back for most of his career and that’s gotta weigh like twice as much as a deer.

    You are underestimating the size of that deer.

    Bumnard is right. It was a truly enormous deer. We're talking Megaloceros here. And it got that size naturally, before modern deer steroids.
