What makes someone unqualified to talk about boxing?

People shouldn't be slamming each other on there forums. Not necessary. Save the Fightin' for McGuigan!

When they make conceited ,ego driven , trash posts like.
"Unqualified people like yourself have them and they're all full of shlt."
From the anonymity and safety of their pc.

“His resume is thin, he only beat Joe Frazier twice and Ken Norton!”


and those 3 wins are probably better than any heavyweight champion in the last thirty years lmao


also, Ron Lyle was a hell of a win and a hell of a fight.

Thats still not a very deep resume. I like longevity too.

- - Let's start wif U who never provided the alleged overrating figure in the OP.

Ratings are statistics that U have suffered a massive FAIL in.

Yes I know he's a legend Big George im a fan of his too. But his resume is thin. In his 1st career he was protected and after 37 fights fought Joe Frazier for the title. He completely dominated him, great win. He had 2 other defenses one vs Ken Norton, who was coming off a loss, and dominated him, great win. He then lost to an older Ali. He had a few more fights and the lost to Jimmy Young. He then retires from boxing.


Years later (10) he makes his come back and changes his image around. He fights a bunch of tuneups (most notably against a coming out of retirement Gerry Cooney) and then fights Evander Holyfield for the title. He does better than people thought but still loses clearly. He then cherry picks Tommy Morrison after Morrison got chined by Ray Mercer and loses almost every single round. He then cherry picks Michael Moorer after Morrer beat Holyfield (he didn't fight Bowe after Bowe beat Holyfield) and knocks him out after losing every round prior. Great win and great accomplishment.

He then vacates the belt to avoid fighting his mandatory Tony Tucker and doesn't fight any of the major competition for the rest of his career ruining the lineal title.

He has a padded record. He has like 10 fights vs legitimate competition and lost around half of them


George Foreman for me doesn't have enough strong wins to be considered better than Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis or Wladimir Klitschko but often times is ranked ahead of them on all time lists. History remembers him well because of his personality and being in the Golden era of heavyweights with Ali, Fraizer, and Norton.

What do you guys think?

Ali is the one overrated. I really do feel if they had a rematch Foreman would've destroyed him.
