Here are three guys that Foreman is routinely ranked over, and their achievements far outweigh or are as equal as his.
Floyd Patterson - At the time was the youngest heavyweight champion ever. 2 Time heavyweight champion. First man to regain championship. 6 total defenses.
Mike Tyson - Youngest heavyweught champion ever. Regained a portion of the title upon release from prison. Defended his titles a total of 11 times.
Lennox Lewis - 2 time heavyweight champion. Defeated every man that defeated him. Defended his titles 6 times.
Mind you this is just a rough sketch of accomplishments but they are more than George accomplished yet he is placed in much higher regard. I don't understand the logic and that includes me.
