    I have him 5 - 7. I rate him very highly and, as I've gotten older, Im really more and more in awe of his comeback and the fact he won a belt again at 45.

    Easily top 5. His career rolled 6's. Always at the right places at the right times.

    I don't make as much allowance as many other people do for some eras being inherently stronger or weaker than others (whilst I accept some eras can have multiple ATGs and others may only have 0 or 1, I think the general standard of contenders throughout most eras is fairly consistent, relative to the evolution of boxing) and value dominance during an ATGs prime years highly. Therefore, I rank Foreman lower than most.

    I can see him anywhere from 8 and 11. He's currently 11 on my list.
