Why is George Foreman rated so highly on a lot of peoples lists?

[The Raging Bull]

Ye i think hes rated highly because he made the most of his small talent. He also stuck to what he was good at, beating people up. He was no true boxer, but a brawler. He also fought many top heavy weights and really fought well against them and this is probably why history has shined well on him.

i thought foreman had ok defense, he caught alot of punches with his gloves, and he was very good at cutting the ring off and cornering sumone...i dont think i rate him too high, but hes top 10 material for sure

Foreman was by far the greatest physical specimen to ever box. He had the most strength, the most power, an iron chin, and he could box well for a big man. Also his comeback sealed his fate of being an all-time great, arguably the greatest comeback in history.

I never read much on George Foreman and haven't seen lots of his fights but I, if I rank him, rank him in the top 10 because of his comeback, power, and beating Frazier.

[Frazier's 15th round]

All you had to do was box and you gave this brute problems. Frazier, who never "boxed" a day in his life, actually won some rounds the second go around. Outside of Frazier, Norton, and Moorer, his record looks pretty padded to me. In fact, that 37-0 record before fighting Frazier had 17 opponents with losing records.

I saw both fights and Frazier didn't win any rounds...

Leff, Frazier 15th round said that Ali has a journey mans record. Take no notice of him.
