When i rate Foreman i rate the 90's Foreman over the inferior 70's one who was not overly a thinking fighter most of the time . I think Foreman had a top 3 best chin and as far as one punch k.o power definatly top 10 and jab includedbut he is severly overatted on the base he had beat a declining Frazier who never beat a true HW power puncher and was even 224 pnd in the second Foreman fight from his 205 natural weight .
Best wins Frazier and Moorer , he fought in a very tough 90's era and really lost some matches he was awarded wins and avoided some fighters from both eras so it raises questions on his overall career . He didnt sighn Don Kings Contract to fight Tyson ,contrary to opinion ,side stepped Holmes and Tucker (stripped of belt ) avoided mandatory rematches ( Shultz ) and self admits to ducking Shavers and Quarry , two big HW's Bowe and Lewis he certainly stayed away from...... i just dont see how Foreman is in anyones top 5 ATG list bc its not actually based on anything but a lot of k.os . Had he fought reputable guys and won in his come back there would be more to go on here but his win over Moorer doesnt do it for me even at his age in 1994 to put him as this unbeatable fighter and the 70's Foreman who lost to Young was not better he was younger thats it , Foreman ranks right up there wit the most excuses why he lost by fans ........ the ts for the most part is right.
