    If Foreman didn't come back in the 90s then people would be calling him a modern day Tua,Golota,Klitschko,Briggs any huge athlete,when he clearly hits way above those guys.

    All he did is highlight and suck on Tua's power and thinks Marciano is going to stand in front of him and slug it out, which leaves too many questions to be asked. But as he highlights in his post he is superior to us,so need to argue with him.

    Watch Green vs Toney sparring,on youtube, they were going at it,real hatred for one another and yet Toney doesn't KO Green in 1. Green was 170lb where as Toney was 240-250 atleast

    I was standing on the ring apron at Wild Card with my videographer during that sparring session. That viral YouTube was ours.

    Tommo, Rocky was a great, great warrior. Nothing in this thread by me is negating that fact .... I am just talking a head to head match up against a stylictic nightmare fifty pounds heavier, much faster starting, harder hitting, much stronger, with a better , proven chin ....

    What bothers me is the clueless lurkers whom read this forum and later remember posts by SP_Mauler , Bummy_Davis and worst of all , the automatic fully expected replies of janitor as "experts" opinions. These people are serial crappers.

    THere is a disconnect between age and knowledge ... not to say these are not knowledgable men but several post with their hearts over their minds ...

    And I could find a baby who could beat Marciano. The dude is dead. Baby TKO1.
    I don't think he's that much beyond them. I wouldn't be surprised if the Klitschko's had that kind of power or near it. Foreman was 6'4" but he was thicker than K2, a very solid 6'4" that let him hit like he was 6'6". If you look at the knockout records he looks a lot like K2 or Tyson. Yeah, he has 68KO's but most of the guys he knocked out were bums, maybe 60 of them.
    For a while there it was pretty easy money to predict that any Deontay Wilder opponent would be so mismatched. Other than that, I can't think of one I've called ahead of time.
