    His wins aside from Frazier are pretty unexceptional. I don't rate wins over Lyle, Norton, Chuvalo as all that impressive. Lyle got schooled by Quarry, Norton was easily blown out by Shavers and Cooney, Chuvalo generally lost when he tried stepping up, etc. Certainly beating these guys doesn't prove George is some h2h monster. A lot of his reputation like Bowe is based on one opponent (Frazier, Holyfield).

    Corrie Sanders could probably blow Norton out and nobody is claiming that as some huge win for Vitali.

    Vitali Klitschko, one of the most absolutely giftless robots ever to call himself a contender (only in that putrid age is he above club level) beats George Foreman. Embarrassing. At least you got your name right.

    Oh well, Mike Tyson got beat up by Buster Douglas so there goes Tyson's resume.
    Pacquiao lost to Jeff Horn. He must be trash then.
    Kostya Tszyu lost to Vince Phillips therefore he must be no good. But he did beat Chavez who beat pretty much everybody so what do we make of that?
    Spinks beat Ali and Spinks was garbage. Ali avenged that but is doesn't take away he fact that Spinks beat him the first time.
    Braddock beat Baer. There goes Baer's legacy I guess.

    Your argument is complete nonsense. Try again.

    If Foreman isn’t a H2H monster who exactly is

    How many fighters would you place as favourites over him maybe five at best Ali, Lewis, Liston, possibly Bowe, not Tyson, perhaps Holmes neither of the K brothers

    So that’s barely five pretty impressive all things considered

    Love the pulling apart of George Foreman’s legacy in a thread discussing Vitali Klitschko. LOL.

    Tyson has a significantly deeper resume than Foreman though. Take away his best win and you have considerably more depth than Foreman has. Despite that I wouldn't make him beating Vitali a foregone conclusion.
    I don't think anyone is claiming Baer would beat Vitali and Ali was shot against Spinks and a shadow of his former shelf. Similar case with Pacquiao against Horn, past prime and well above his best weight class.

    Tyson’s résumé is considerably deeper than Foreman’s? What planet have I woken up on this morning!?

    But Corrie Sanders didn't blow Norton out so your "opinion" is pure hot air and a vivid imagination. You also opined at one point it was logical Joshua was probably the best ever and we saw how that worked out so pardon many of us not getting excited at your "probably" fantasy picks almost always slanted toward the modern and size. One could bring up Nate Tubbs but i'm not going to slag off a guy (Sanders btw) who was a good talented fighter and from most accounts a great man.

    Look at all the claims you’ve made that you’ve been asked to substantiate you have quietly avoided. Wowsers.

    You’ll find requests to substantiate your claims about Foreman’s prime & Klitschko’s specific abilities page 1.
