Who is the greatest boxer ever? This topic will only last forever…
Boxing fans will endlessly discuss the best boxers in their minds, but is it necessary to ask those who have fought in the ring?
George Foreman is one of the best boxers ever. nicknamed "The Devil", he has had a career fight with Joe Fraser , Ken Norton , Mohammed Ali , Evande Holyfield and others. According to Foreman 's strength, experience and influence, he is fully qualified to talk about related topics.
days ago, Foreman named the top 10 best heavyweight boxers in his mind in an interview with the media and ranked them. As a result, the person who ranked first was not the one who competed on the same stage with him.
In fact, Foreman will have the title of the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time, awarded the "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis , a man he admires.
Foreman said: "Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight boxer ever, and the second one is the one who keeps winning all the way is Rocky Marciano , the third one is John Sullivan, the fourth one is Jack Johnson , and Mohammed Ali ranks fifth."
Foreman ranked his "old enemy" and "old friend" Ali in fifth, which attracted the attention and heated discussion from the outside world. Most people think that Ali is enough to stand out in the heavyweight rankings with his performance inside and outside the boxing world, and he also knocked down Foreman in the "Jungle Battle" in 1974, which was the only game in Foreman's career that he was knocked down and lost.
However, Forman said that Ali's influence outside the boxing world exceeds his own strength, and from the perspective of pure boxing, there are even better than Ali.
Foreman said: "Ali is a great boxer with great character, but overall, commenting on Ali from the perspective of pure boxing is a derogatory, he is greater than this, because Ali, everyone's life has become better."
Foreman's list of the top 10 best boxers in his mind is as follows:
10. Jack Dempsey
9. Ewande-Hollyfield
8. Mike-Tyson
7. Lennox-Lewis
6. Floyd Patterson
5. Mohammed-Ali
4. Jack Johnson
3. John Sullivan
2. Rocky-Maciano
1.Joe-Louis
Although Foreman was active in the hot 1990s, he was unfortunately unable to meet most of the top boxers of this period. Except for Holyfield , Foreman did not compete on the same stage with Tyson and Lewis , which is also one of the biggest regrets in heavyweight history. Forman ranked Holyfield, who defeated himself, in 9th place, and ranked Lewis and Tyson in 7th and 8th place.
None of the elites in the heavyweight boxing world today can reach Forman's "eye". He once regarded Tyson Fury as the best heavyweight boxer at the moment, and also praised Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. Unfortunately, all of these people failed to make it to the list. Perhaps in Forman's mind, whether it is Fury , Wilder , or Joshua , or Usic, they cannot be compared with those boxers in his golden period. It is estimated that this will become the focus of debate among boxing fans in the next few years.
