    Yes at times, and good at it.

    What exactly do you think Schmeling did in the ring?

    Conn was 168lbs yet went 13 rds with Louis and was in front when he got ambitious ,do you think he does better against Foreman? Pastor was 183lbs a runner and like Conn,no puncher,he was so castigated for his negative performance in against Louis in their first fight,["Bob's Bicycle Act",] he elected to stand his ground more in their return, despite being up and down like a yo yo ,he lasted into the 11th. You don't think George would terminate matters earlier? Schmeling was a patient counterpuncher who was ko'd by the two best punchers he fought.Foreman probably doesn't get him out of there inthe 1st rd as Louis did but he isnt getting into the later rounds.imo
    I dont see Walcott taking Foreman to a debateable decison either, George pressures him ,corners him and takes him out ,but he would be stylistically the most difficult opponent ,imo. Farr wouldn't go the distance with Foreman, no way.

    ps Please don't refer to me as Bro,given our history its singularly innapropriate.

    I have to say no. Ali laid on the ropes and George gassed, Young moved around and George gassed. Lyle was one punch away from stopping a quickly gassing George.
    Louis record is impressive no hw has duplicated it. Even the ever fit and trim Wlad. George trips up against at least one possibly more and maybe it's someone we don't even suspect.

    He come in at 168 Conn??? So he wasn't far off a middle..Could you imagine the back peddling or pressure he would be under v Big George. He cant survive 12

    Stuck in time. Theres footage of even Joe Louis hinting they were only keep busy fights, zero threat..Did'nt Foreman fight 4 men in 1 night as well ??? some exhibition stuff. Surely that's a better feat than once a month :)

    That for me blows "Bum of the month" clean out the water and it should register as far more impressive with everyone else too !

    I'm not going there and you won't bait me into it, so just leave it alone and concentrate on the thread.

    So Combat, Mcvey, and Birmingham are the same person.

    That's cute I guess, great usage of time.

    Not struggling at all just refusing to revisit old ground .If you want to do so contact McGrain,he will enlighten you further, and if you think continually referring to me as Bro annoys me, think again , its innapropriate yes,annoying no.
