    I'm guessing the Clubber Lang vs Apollo Creed thread I was working on is going to have to be shelved.

    You’re a clown

    You think Marciano Foreman is a 50-50 fight! LOL

    It's my opinion too. And I bet the majority sees a Foreman KO, when another agresssive come forward banger with less chin and less power crushes into Foreman.
    Just stop that brain dead duels putting men of yesterday into unfair fights.

    Foreman solely relies on an early rounds knockout. In both match ups. Past round 3 or 4 and he's dead meat.

    Unfortunately this great response will fall on deaf ears

    Choke is a marciano fan boy and a Liston and foreman detractor. He joined this forum to troll

    Dempsey or Marciano won’t make it past round 4. 185lb swarmers who come right into Foreman stand zero chance

    It’s mumbo Jumbo unless you can prove it.

    215lb Joe Frazier didn’t last more than 2


    What 6’3 220lb ATG puncher of foreman’s caliber did Dempsey and Marciano fight? What fighter of foreman’s size strength punching power aggression did they ever defeat?

    Hardly the best endorsement is it?

    Look it’s fine, so long as people like your good self say it’s their opinion. There is nothing brain dead about challenging this issue that there is anything factual or absolute about an opinion.

    True. Neither Rocky nor Jack fought men as good as George that size. But they beat up men that size that were less good. They were better than Frazier too. So why the factual certainty when they can’t fight?

    So whilst you make a good point. It’s just a point. Without them fighting it’s only a point.

    That Rocky and Jack were better and hit harder than the best men George beat are points too. I can’t prove anything. Or nor would I try to. I can, as you do, have an opinion and that is all I can have.

    I can challenge this notion that you can blurt out your opinion as if it were fact. your opinion on something that can’t happen is not a fact.

    It’s mumbo Jumbo.

    I’m a clown for pointing out that it’s mumbo Jumbo to prove the unprovable?

    In 1973 the experts all picked Joe Frazier. Were they clowns too?

    Sometimes I remember to add imo ,sometimes I forget.I think we all do this.Suzie is smart enough to know it but we occasionally forget or can't be bothered,because its rather self evident. when you think about it.
    It's just a way of speaking really, we are all perfectly aware its only our opinion aren't we.

    Well you would certainly think so wouldn’t you. I haven’t yet voiced an opinion one way or the other yet I am immediately accused of being a clown and a troll by the one buffoon who who projects his own opinion as “absolute”.

    Well his opinion is absolute. It is Absolute mumbo Jumbo.

    The gall of this idiot is something to behold.

    Dempsey wouldn't come right into Foreman. He'd wait until he found an opening and exploit it.

    Since when were rocky and Dempsey better than Frazier? If anything Frazier was just as good if not better than both

    Again, rocky and jack were not better than joe Frazier

    Foreman took a guy very similar to Frazier and Marciano, except 30lb heavier...and he bounced him around like a yo yo


    Hardly mumbo jumbo
