    Would Roman show the world the Foreman loss was a fluke???

    Or does Liston shock us here at boxingforum 24 with an extermimation of the first Puerto Rican to fight for the heavyweight crown?

    No contest. Roman used as a "basketball" by Liston until the refs stops it via
    a Liston TKO.

    LOL........Liston did in real life, stuff a St. Louis cop into a garbage can. That is when the St. Louis cops let Liston know through "back channels", it would be best for his own health, that he permanently left town.

    He didn't lose to Foreman. He was bludgeoned while sitting with his back against the ropes and was never able to recover from that blatant foul. To me that isn't winning, To me that is cheating. Had Roman been the one to do it to Foreman then it would have been called a no contest or a win for foreman via disqualification. At the least Foreman would definitely have been provided with the mandatory 5 minutes to recover since it was Foreman who had been fouled.

    How'd he get on his back the other 3 times? Foreman's fists cause him to slip and fall?

    That's irrelevant since it happened immediately after the foul.

    BTW
    Were you one of those who rioted when Golota fouled Bowe?

    The ref did his job on those two occasions and disqualified Gollota right? So why the riot? That has always baffled me.

    BTW
    In the Foreman Roman fight the ref was in on the whole garbage just as the ref was in on the whole garbage when David Haye repeatedly fouled Ruiz into submission while the crowed cheered and the ref approved.

    WOW! Your thread oozes with hate-filled sarcasm.

    Goodbye and good-riddance!

    Why do you have to take the most extreme position? Why does it have to be "hate filled sarcasm" as opposed to just sarcasm?

    How did you come to the conclusion of it being "hate filled"?
