    now you see how silly your post about george foreman was . i applied your logic on another top10 boxer on that list to show you that.
    but anyway, if foreman is not top10 ever heavyweight then top10 doesn't exist

      You actually made yourself look like more of an idiot, which was pretty easy to do as it seems.

      The HW rankings are not a popularity contest and should not be judged as such. Foreman beat mostly bums in non title fights.

      Terrible list and dumb response to it on your part

        now you are just arguing for the sake of arguing.

        this writer said that no two lists are the same and that people will disagree with some part of it. that's true about any list. however i am yet to see a list (or hear/read an opinion) without george foreman in the top 10 heavyweights ever. that's why i replied to your post and not someone else's. i was surprised. i disagree strongly with your explanation but you (and everybody else in the world) will keep your opinion and that's ok.

        for the record, i have watched all heavyweight champions from corbett - fitzsimmons to usyk. i have thoroughly analyzed hundreds of boxers' resumes from the gloved era. i am not some newbie and i am not posting for the sake of spamming.

          It's not even worth thinking about it until they retire. Even then , it's all subjective anyway. At this point in time , I don't think that either Fury or Usyk has done enough to crack the Top Ten of All Time Greats. It's too soon.

            Honestly this Lewis collective hallucination needs to stop. Let's put that record into perspective: His best win was scraping by a over the hill shop worn Holyfield. No mean feat, granted.
            The Tyson fight shouldn't even be mentioned.
            Klitschko was beating him and Lewis got lucky and ducked the rematch knowing his time was up.
            The rest of his record his nothing exceptional, except for Olympic Gold. Oh, except even that was from multiple terrible referring decision going in his favor.

            On paper, "he beat everyone he faced" and "beat everyone in his era", in reality he got lucky, and cherry picked greats when they were has-beens, and got KO'd brutally by nobodies along the way.
            Such a shame Bowe was so ill advised not to fight him in '93, he would have flattened him.
            **** off lol…Lewis was 38 years old when he still beat klitchcko….and he ripped his face apart by the 6th round so just the half the scheduled 12 round fight….but was lucky GTFOH.
            Tyson ducked and paid him 2 million for him to step aside , rid**** bowe gave his belt away rather than face him.
            you don’t become lucky by winning the heavyweight title 3 times….go get some knowledge newbie

              Beating up Frazier who was 40 lbs lighter and lucky punching Moorer makes Foreman the 4th best hwt of all time?

                you know that jack dempsey is 6-2 in title fights with 2 of them being against light heavyweights. 6-2 in 8 years! his only other good wins against heavyweights are vs. fred fulton and jack sharkey. that's it. how is he number 8?
                in comparison, mike tyson won his first title in 1986, one year after his debut. ring ****zine ranked him in their top10 for 1986. then mike fought 9 out of that top10 in the next 4 years (everybody but tim witherspoon). talk about cleaning your division. then he went on to have a few good wins in the 90s. that's only good enough for 14th place but dempsey is number 8?

                foreman deserves to be top 5 because heavyweight is weak.
                There’s not a legitimate argument for Foreman being rated that high and certainly not “because heavyweight is weak”.
