            Yeah, but it wasnt a normal jab, know what i mean.
            Kinda like taylors is today, itll snap your head back, and its powerful enough to knock you down. (obviously not saying it would knock down tyson, but someone with a lesser chin)

                  Ali
                  Louis
                  Holmes
                  Foreman
                  Marciano

                  I personally rank Holmes as the third greatest HW of all-time. He was probably the most well rounded HW I can think of besides Joe Louis.

                    I understand why you rate him at 3, but for me personally, its difficult to rate him above foreman, who in my opinion would have killed him. (Foreman would have killed Louis imo too).
                    Rating the heavyweights from 2-5 is difficult for me.

                      i really feel like its difficult to rate anyone, even ali, ahead of george.

                      i like to think that if george foreman fought every great heavyweight 10 times he would win at least 7 against them all.
