I confused the Foreman fight with the Liston fight...Ali was bigger than Sonny and not George, my bad.

Is Ernie Terrell better than anyone I mentioned?

Might I ask if Foreman used his height and reach advantage successfully BEFORE he made his comeback? I don't believe he did, he relied 100% on his power which is why he got caught by Ron Lyle and put down.

My point is that recently BOXERS have invaded the heavyweight division. Guys who can take you the distance or get you out quick. They are bigger stronger (probably not faster) but they are better at controlling pace and range than guys who were fighting back in the 1970's. Also it's a select few great fighters over a period 20 or so years....so it's not crazy to assume they would give anyone a tough fight, I'm not saying those guys would win all the time, I'm just saying Ali never fought anyone with the skill sets of the fighters I mentioned...the closest is maybe Bowe is close to Holmes, other than that he never fought anyone like Lewis, Wlad or Vitali.
