      Tyson technically beat Holmes
      No way '90s Holyfield is better than the Frazier that beat Ali in '71 in the "Fight of the Century"

      You have an argument with Bowe & Lewis, though I'd take Foreman over Lewis.

      And I don't see how we can take Old Foreman over Old Ali, when Old Ali beat a top 5 all-time HW in young Foreman, Joe Frazier twice, & Ken Norton, who are all Hall of Famers

      Old Foreman's best victory is Michael Moorer.

      He lost to Tommy Morrison, Holyfield, and Shannon Briggs.

        We both have preference.

        Moore > Frazier, Norton
        Old Ali (as close to Old George's age as possible) doesn't have a best win.

          You might be the only person living taking blown up light-heavyweight Michael Moorer over HOFs Joe Frazier & Ken Norton Sr.

              I like boxers who can actually box a little
              (I prob wouldn't out money on him winning TBH)

              HOFers have L's to non HOFers.

                Olympic Gold Medalist Joe Frazier couldn't box?

                That's news to all of us

                  60-s and 70-s are very good era.

                  90-s is pretty overrated. 50 old Foreman was able to win a world championship belt, enough said. The same Foreman retired in 70-s because he couldn`t beat Ali.

                    The difference is . . .

                    Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, Norton>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Holyfiel d, Bowe, Tyson, Lewis, old Foreman
                    Lyle, Quarry, Ellis, Shavers, Chuvalo was also still around..

                      Ali was totally washed up by the age of 36, he had like 60 fights. He fought all the best guys in 60-s and 70-s. he was in too many wars.

                      Foreman retired when he was 28. Came back 10 years later, fought all bums they could have found for him to secure world title shots.

                      A strange comparison.
