    It's based on his Zaire performance which is the worst of Foremans entire career. He was never so bad against anyone else.

    If you truly understand boxing performance instead of getting your back up you might understand more. I am actually a fan of Foreman.

    Foreman could beat most of that list on a good day.

    I don't understand why anyone would think Tunney would not have an excellent chance against any slugger.

    Tunney was extremely well conditioned, tough, great jab, great defense. The best textbook boxer we have ever had as hwt champion. He is just the type fighter to do what great boxers can do to great punchers......outbox them over distance. Personally the best Tunney I would cast as the favorite against any Foreman.

    Thank you. :good

    Tunney against the most frustrated, inaccurate version of Foreman too. I absolutely agree.

    Foreman was unimpressive against Ali.
    He definitely looked less refined than he's been against Norton.
    There may be a lot of truth in the idea that he was psyched out by Ali and the environment.

    All ATG boxers beat any Foreman since all decent boxers in actuality beat Foreman.

    Johnson, Tunney, Ali, Holmes at their best are shoe ins.

    I think of Walcott as a guy that was capable of beating a lot of guys or giving them hell at least.

    Walcott certainly had the skill. I would be concerned about his chin.
