prime for prime...........there was no heavyweight better than Big George Foreman......not even close........the 70-73 Foreman was as close to invincible as you can get.......a prime Ali struggled with Norton and Frazier........the 72-73 Foreman blew both of them out in 2 rounds....and when i say "blew them out"...i mean it..........he CRUSHED them........Ali was fortunate to fight the 74 Foreman.,...well,the boxing commumity knows he was out of shape and couldnt spar for 5 weeks .........the fight was actually to take place 5 weeks before it did.......Ali wouldve got beat that night in Zaire if Formen was conditioned properly.......Ali fighting Foreman in 72 -73???.....he wouldve got crushed just like prime Frazier and Norton did......nevermind the fact that Foreman wins the heavy title 20 yrs later at 45 and went toe to toe with a prime Holyfield at 41.......so..it goes, Foreman(72-73) , Ali(70-71), Frazier(69-70), Tyson(86-87), Liston(61-62),Louis(38-39),Lewis(92-93),Holyfield(95-96),Marciano(52-53),Holmes(77-78).
