    This is absolutely incorrect, he was the true champion.

      Foreman was never knocked out by a fat former middleweight and then suspended from boxing.

      The fact that Holyfield is still fighting is shocking, to say the least.

      Yes, Foreman was THE heavyweight champion. He beat Moorer who had beaten Holyfield, who was fresh off his win over Bowe.

      If he wasnt THE heavyweight champion, Id love to know who was. And dont say Lewis, because Lewis had just been KTFO by Oliver McCall just 2 months before Foreman-Moorer.

        Mmmm, didn't Foreman KO Moorer just after he had taken the belt from Evander? And Evander had just beaten Bowe, so at the very least Foreman was the lineal HW champion at that point and held two of the alphabet belts, who had a better claim than he did after that fight to be #1? He was ranked #1 by the RING too, so how can you say he wasn't the best HW?

          I just don't think Evander can beat John Ruiz, let alone either Klitscho, Helinius, or Povetkin.

          I like Evander, but no.

            Wrong.

            When he KO'd Moorer, he beat the man who beat the man and by doing so regained THE heavyweight title.
