    If you buy into what Seamus and the other gen x posters on here say then Ike Ibeabuchi would knock Foreman out.

    It would take the great boxers and boxer punchers to beat that Foreman. So....,

    Tunney
    Louis
    Holmes

    That's it. Lewis on his best night possibly.

    Not many at all imo. I like Liston's chances and under that i think Louis, Lewis and Holmes would have a shot.

    A prime Liston would beat him.
    Better boxer, great puncher and great chin.

    I wouldn't be certain about that. .... Liston vs Ali II is one of the most controversial fights of all time. All the strange events that followed the anchor punch, and the fact that Ali never knocked anyone else in the first round .....

    I agree with your post, but on Lennox Lewis record, it reflects knockout losses to Hassim Rahman and Oliver McCall, who do not hit as hard as prime Foreman. Lennox was a good fighter, but watching his matches, he was always on the edge, he was rocked by Vitali, before the eye cut stoppage. There could be no excuses for that.
