    No I don't think it's unfair but often these types of analysis do fit into standings (not just with Wlad of course)

    But I probably shouldn't have posted this in a entirely hypothetical thread.

    90,91, 95, 96 versions of Tyson, especially 90-91 Tyson, splatters Norton, Lyle, Young, Shavers and Bugner. Gives Foreman a good tussle, perhaps dumps him to the canvas. Only ones I favor are Ali up to 1975 and Holmes.

    Moorer probably takes everyone except Foreman, Ali and Holmes who he gives tough fights.

    All good mate, I truly couldn't figure out where you were coming from. We have hundreds of threads like this in here, it's what makes the joint go round.

    Us peeps in here will rate guys where we rate them, a thread like this isn't going to change too many minds. Certainly not the minds of seasoned posters who have long thought out and settled in their stance.
