    Are you sure?

    Ray Mercer won Heavyweight Olympic Gold in 88 and the WBO title in 91

    No. I reckon Foreman being able to hold his own in the ring later in life, shows the gulf in quality between him and his opponents when he was in his prime, and the more modern boxers.

    If the late Teofilo Stevenson had turned pro he would have wiped the floor with most of the heavyweights in that era, including Ali and Foreman, and Smoking Joe..

    I'm certain that I'm not sure. :emoticon-0107-sweat

    I'm even less certain having looked at Mercer's Wiki page. Yours looks like a good call to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Mercer

    2nd paragraph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Joshua He is also the second boxer, after Joe Frazier, to win a world heavyweight title whilst still reigning as Olympic champion at the top weight.

    Difficult to assess amateur and pro, but he was something else

    The way some of these guys are out before they're down suggests he'd have done more than okay.

    If you're looking at unfulfilled potential then Butterbean is your man.

    He could have been the greatest ever.

    If you don't know who he is then you know **** all about boxing.

    FACT.

    Best boxer of all time is Ray Robinson.

    Favourite is Duran.
