Smokin' Joe is an equal to Marciano, but does not get the credit he deserves because of his loss to Foreman.

3. Big George came back and won the lineal heavyweight title 20 years after losing it. That is just mind boggling. No one and I mean no one else could do that, not Jack Johnson, not Jack Dempsey, not Joe Louis, not Rocky Marciano, and not Muhammad Ali. Nobody.

Of course the talk is about George Foreman
