So you don't like Chuvalo then?

You seem to have a whole speech ready to go, I'm just waiting for you to type it up.

Chuvalo? Haha, come on, man. Chuvalo has one win against Quarry where he messed up the count. He's nothing but a crude brawler. This does nothing for Frazier. You should actually be ashamed to include him.

Just give me the list of fighters Frazier beat that makes him this supposed ATG? Chuvalo most certainly isn't one of them.

I'm not playing tea time with you Susan.

You have a self serving agenda where all you want to do is say " X? Who did X beat Y? who did Y beat? Z? who did Z beat?" without ever realizing the **** you say can be attributed to literally any HW ever. You can always claim the highest ranking fighters of an era were weak and no one can tell you otherwise because all we can do is post names you will call weak at you. What makes it dumb as ****, and I am serious I don't mean to be mean, but, it is dumb as ****. Is this idea that what you're doing can not be applied to everyone.


Who they beat were other top ranked fighters. I don't understand how the **** you can sit here and say **** like " Lennox beat X and him were top rank" Or "Lennox beat Y and him were a loved champion" But think for some reason that doesn't apply to the era literally known as the golden era of HWs.

You're dumb. I'm just letting you show off how dumb you are.

HW is a different beast, but the top fighters in the past (HW or any division) were just flat-out better. They had more skills, fought more often, fought everyone (include proclaimed boogeymen), and fought for 15 rounds.

Foreman would murder Miller in quick fashion, but some extra large HWs would be difficult simply due to their size advantages.

At all other weight classes past champions were better. That's just the truth.

Take WW today where some people contend Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, or Keith Thurman could be good in another era. These 3 are absolute trashcans - honestly.

Keith is actually the weakest of the 3 and he gets dropped and stopped in too many fights to count. Danny also gets dropped, possibly stopped, but he can go into survival mode better than the other two.

Porter smothers EVERYTHING so while he would always lose to anyone marginally better than a heavy bag...he probably doesnt get stopped since he plays a hybrid of Football, MMA, and Boxing, but he would go back to sparring level status

I agree with you but how is thurman the weakest out of two guys he dominated? Atleast he has skills unlike Danny and his cement feet with his "no look left hook".

Gerry Cooney was 6'6".

If he was fighting today, he would probably be dominant.

Yet, he got beat by one of those "small" heavyweights and decisively so.

The heavys of the 70's would tear today's crop a new one.

I can't imagine any of them taking shots from Earnie Shavers or Jerry Quarry and staying on their feet.

And those guys went 15 rounds...

You're dumb. I'm just letting you show off how dumb you are.

But it's easy to point out that Lennox beat a lot of good fighters because you can clearly see them beating other good fighters. Plus, they look like good fighters. They have skill. None of them only have a good win over someone who messed up the count the way Chuvalo does. Bonavena and Chuvalo are bums. You know that when you watch them. You know that when they didn't beat anyone worth a damn. It's simple.

I'm dumb, but you're the one calling joke fighters like Bonavena and Chuvalo good fighters? Just as long as i'm not as dumb as you i'll be doing well.

And how the hell did you know my name was Susan? I thought that secret was safe.

Cooney wouldn't come close to being dominant. Haha. Joshua, Wilder, Whyte, Joyce, Fury, Miller would absolutely break bits of his off. They wouldn't come close to losing to such a low level guy. Ever.

Whyte caught AJ.

If that was Cooney landing that punch you wouldn't even have to count...

Joshua fought Whyte whilst angry and being hotheaded. That's why he got caught. He's improved massively since then and knows to be smart about things. But the only thing that matters is he come through it like a champ.

Cooney was easy to hit so it wouldn't be a problem for any of the fighters I listed. They all knock him out the way a ****ing Lightheavy was able to. The only one I have doubts about is Fury. And even he may stop him through accumulation of shots late on.

AJ has definitely improved, not sure how massively tho.

And seeing him get winged by Povetkin tells me all I need to know about a taller Cooney catching him.

But, believe what you will.

[Cutthroat]

Agree to disagree :-/

To suggest that Wlad or Deontay or AJ are/was half the fighter of Foreman has my sides literally shrieking in pain from laughter...but I respect your opinion

Foreman's defensive skill was nowhere near AJ or Wilder's.

Size wise, he ranked in the top 1% of all boxers in his division at 6'4 220lbs


Compared to 2018 6'3 220lbs puts him at a major size disadvantage to practically every top 20 guy he's nowhere near that 1st percentile he was at in his era.
