    You could either have Ali at number 1 or Foreman but if you have anybody else above Foreman you are a ****** and maybe you should check yourself into a mental institution.
    i think holmes could beat foreman, cause his style was similar to ali's, and so could liston, cause he had better boxing skills than foreman. but never louis, marciano, dempsey, or anyone else.

      Holmes wouldn't beat Foreman, Ali is way better than Holmes. His style was too similar to a young Ali which I think would lose to Foreman. Ali beat Foreman with Brains, not dancing. And Liston would get ko'd.

      I agree with you about Marciano, Dempsey etc. If it comes to a brawl, Foreman would win!

        no way a young ali would lose to foreman. ali made foreman miss by standing still and laying on the ropes. imagine if ali was moving at the speed he did in the 1960s.

          Foreman fought people better that he caught in the middle of the ring. Foreman was no Liston, if he caught Ali in the centre I'm not sure that he would have the chin to withstand it. Older Ali had a better chin.

            foreman wouldn't hit young ali that much, and the chin of ali didn't get that much better.

              in 67 Ali had the chin to withstand big george. In center ring Ali would definately dominate George... because his style would take advantage of Georges style in center ring. Tell me, what happened usually in center ring in 74'? Ali would control the range, work the jab, throw right leads, and burst in with combos from the periphery... he couldn't do it all night because he couldn't move laterally and fluidly, and george got him on the ropes. George was overwhelmed by handspeed, he was a big slow, bruiser.... and no big, lumbering bruiser in history including George could take out Ali. Cleveland Williams, Foreman, Liston.. he was best against such opponents.
