    Which lineal champs do you reckon ,
    Would "not " get out of the 1st round sharing the ring with prime Foreman ??
    The Foreman that smashed Frazier was formidable , are there lineal heavy s , at time of being champion ,that could be wrecked so fast ?

    Hmmmm.....I can think of some that Foreman would beat, but they could possibly make it out of round 1. Floyd Patterson (with all due respect to him) may be the most likely not to make it out of the first. Michael Moorer is another....I have to go back and think

    Yes poor Floyd I'm afraid gets it .possible ingo as well .Marvin Hart and Tommy Burns could go fast. Even Sharkey or Braddock ?,,Though I feel they make it a little longer .

    Yeah but out of the above, I think Sharkey and Braddock may last a little longer.

    I don't give em a great deal longer ,Braddock as champion lasted eight with Louis to be fair , so perhaps he gets past the first at least. Sharks maybe in to the third ..by the skin of his teeth.
