    Prior to Foreman’s second career Liston ranked higher. Once foreman’s second career achievements were added then he passed Liston up

    I voted for Stretch Armstrong but Big George has now overtaken him in the poll. This is better than a Presidentisl race.

    I have not seen a green fighter with over 37 pro fights, that shows how pathetic your excuses are because with half of that number Whiterspoon fought Holmes and almost if not beat him so excuses are pathetic.

    Green fighter with 37 fights...laughable...Tyson was beating Holmes and Ali was beating Liston with same number of fights or even less.

    Another medicore fighters and contenders like Satterfield.

    Genne Tunney is on of the greatest LHW and Greb was the best MW ever with p4p best resume not a LaMotta who was human punching bag.

    I honestly can't believe you're trying to discredit La Motta's victory over Sugar Ray. I really can't.

    So what they are?
    Nino Valdes was beaten by every good fighter he faced and Harold Johnson was too.

    I can because he fought smaller man, he lost his next 2 fights with Sugar and did not do anything better than that.

    Foreman's victories stand a considerably taller.

    Nino Valdez beat a younger Ezzard Charles than Marciano did.
    Be careful how you're swinging, you might hit yourself.
