Just a bunch of obscure guys Moore, Chuvalo, Cooper, Bonavena.
No one that really mattered during THAT time.
Moore was like 40 + wasn't he way past it Oscar was ok aswell but he wasn't great i know he floored Frazier twice but Frazier was very green but Oscar had amazing chin Coopers rise to fame was knocking down Ali but other than that he was just middle of the road in boxing and again Oscar is just like Chuvalo great chin but not great skills or anything else just a brawler.
Wait a minute but just a few weeks ago you were praising them for what they had done to Ali.
Now they are flawed and were just OK fighters?

Fact of the matter is during the time THOSE were the top guys around if you notice they almost all show up on the records of the top Heavys of those days but ONLY the best beat them.
Sorry but when did i praise Chuvalo and Oscar

They were tough brawlers and nothing more

And Cooper was good at domestic level and that was it

And Moore was a grandfather.

They were only contenders nothing more and them names don't get you into top 10 hws and im not even sure they were ever top 5 contenders anyway maybe Oscar was once and only once but none of the others were i don't believe.
