    and thought to myself.....what if a 70's George Foreman had the speed and skills of Roy Jones with the same punching power....would a 70's Foreman be virtually unbeatable??

    Presumably a different set of physical laws would be in place on this planet, so loads of guys would be boxing like that.

    Imagine another 'what if' - Bruce Seldon had skills of James Toney, punching power and chin of George Foreman, - he'd be an ATG. Unfortunately he had none of these...

    Now youve gone too far. Funny how i defended your threads and posts in a different thread.

    What a strange thread.

    I dont know if you are just trolling or just sometimes get really starved for attention.


    If george foreman had jones speed and skill he would no longer be george foreman. He would be a completely different fighter who would have developed a completeley different style because he would have a completely different set of physical of attributes.
    He would probably just be a bigger tougher version of 160-168 roy Jones since all you said he would keep are his size and power, jones himself had that in abundance at the lower weights.

    Just imagine Valuev had the best attributes of Julian Jackson, and Pacquiao.

    Or if Pacquiao had the worst of Valuev and Jackson. Whatever, it's a free country.

    Your threads have been staving off some of the madness thankfully.
