    Foreman The Greatest Heavyweight Ever?

    Think about it, He Destroyed Joe Frazier and the Only Reason he lost it to Ali is because he was out smarted, He then Made a Comeback and became the oldest Heavyweight Champion of all time, He has acomplished much more then anyone, and He has accomplished much more out of the ring as well, If anyone said Foreman was the Greatest Heavyweight of all time, i wouldn't disagree , I think Foreman Could Beat Louis and Dempsey, i also beleave he would beat Ali in a rematch, Im not saying i think he is the best, I just think he is a contender for the #1, 2 Time Heavyweight Champion, Perhaps the Hardest Puncher To step into the ring, Great Chin, The successful Comeback that no one thought Possible.

    THis is what makes me laugh, when people on here say "Old fighters are overated" LOL Foreman came back and gave a PRIME Holyfield all he could handle, and Evander was fighting a OLD Foreman, And then Foreman Makes Briggs and Morrison Run , and then he KOs Moorer, So if there Overrated then DAMN the young generation must be bums lol, (Not Saying They Are)

    I think this is certainly a good argument. Foreman's power in both hands was unbelievable. And he certainly retained that power late in his career.

    And I think anyone with any modicum of talent whatsoever could beat Dempsey. I wouldn't even put Dempsey in my top 10.

        No. Not even close. There are plenty of fighters who could have beaten him, and quite frankly his accomplishments don't stand up to those of Ali, Louis, Holmes, Lewis etc. You must be quite a big fan of his.

          Man, someone (Klitschkos?) needs to put Valuev out of our misery.

              You rate Foreman as the best heavyweigt ever but Foreman himself sees Lewis as being the greatest.

                Foreman was one of the most powerful heavyweights but you've only got to watch the Ali fight to realise that he was very limited tactically.
                He has accomplished enough to easily be amongst the top 10 all time heavyweights IMO.

                  Foreman has a different greatest every week.

                    Im a Big Fan of Most of the Great Fights, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Louis , Liston, Marciano, you name them, but i think Foreman was just a freak of nature, Not many of The greats could have done what he did in his comeback. Even Tyson turned down 20mil to fight George, and George was old lol
