    If you really had a problem with me and were genuinely offended by what I say and not just butthurt that I'm disproving your arguments repeatedly then you'd have put me on ignore a long time ago. Not shedding crocodile tears and trying to get other posters banned. From the looks of it, my posts get more approval than yours.

    I seem to remember George fighting an undersized ATG swarmer a couple times. Can someone remind how those fights went?

    The lower end of the heavyweight limit was 175. Frazier was about 30 lbs heavier...

    I´ve linked it, you can count that circus with the camera losing some action on the left side yourself.

    Dempsey did exactly have the power to stun the old Willard and leaving alot of room for the old man to get up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and without any proper recovery! And no more!! He proved it shot for shot over this round.

    Do you honsetly see that happen, Willard beeing stunned against Foreman, just to find Foreman all over him after seconds with absolute no protection, one knee on the canvas, getting a Foreman hook unloaded on his still stunned head? You honsetly think you´d see a circus like that against George?

    I don’t want someone posting in a forum who calls people homosexuals and tries to get people to commit suicide. You deserve a ban.

    “Approval Ratings”

    HA! I just started posting again 4 weeks ago after a lengthy absence. Back when I used to post they didn’t have a like button...but you can take that as your consolation prize

    Funny story..Dempsey supporters are now trying to argue he would have adopted a outside boxing method against foreman using his fast feet and fast hands to pot shot foreman, then knock foreman out with one of his patented hooks when foreman becomes frustrated and lets his guard down....Is dempsey Being trained by Apollo creed here?

    Just fascinating stuff

    What's wrong with being a homosexual? I never tried to get anyone to commit suicide. You aren't **** dude. You're an annoying 40 something year old that voted for Obama.

    They didn't have one when I started posting either buddy and I've taken multiple long absences from this forum. Still get more approval on my posts, old and new. Btw you've made 4x as many posts as me, people can still go back and like old posts from before.

    I can’t stand choke labs opinions most of the time but I never call him to be banned. he’s a good guy who likes to talk boxing and just happens to have a hidden agenda

    Comp and dago wop has been banned 5 times before I even started posting here again...which means plenty of other posters have had issues with them..I’m just more outspoken about them publicly than those posters are. Reasons for them being banned included racism, homophobia, and vulgar language used in personal attacks. Not to mention dago wop tried to get Mcvey to harm himself. Is that what you want on this forum? Are you accepting of that? Because if you are let me know, I won’t apeak with you anymore.

    As you can see dago wop ruins boxing discussions with personal insults like he did with Edward in the Jeffries thread where he ruined that conversation

    My 2 cents is this: Foreman is one of the most on dimensional, overrated and carefully matched heavyweights in history. With all of that being said he would absolutely squash Dempsey like a bug. Why? Because Dempsey is also one of the most overrated and carefully matched heavyweights in history. The difference being he was almost 40 pounds lighter than big George, short, weaker, didn't hit as hard, didn't take as good a punch, and didn't fight anywhere near the level of competition that Foreman did at the size Foreman was up against. How the **** do you get to a point where you can imagine a 189 pound guy who was heavily protected to the point of avoiding his two top contenders (one of whom was a middleweight) and refused to face any fighter who was both talented and black is going to beat George Foreman??? Its beyond ludicrous. More to the point, while I think Foreman is overrated, one dimensional and carefully matched Dempsey is exactly the type of fighter that Foreman would have been matched with to make him look good. A smaller guy who can be hurt and dropped, who comes right at you? TIMMMBERRR!

    Yeah Dempsey had nice feet in his prime, the only problem is he abandoned those feet and went toe to toe every chance he got. He was a brawler at heart. And despite his fast feet, he still got tagged a lot on film because he kept a low guard..never used defense while on the inside because he trusted his chin, and was very vulnerable to getting hit by a good right hand...And of course Dempsey never proved himself elite against top caliber opposition since he never defeated the three best fighters of his era


    FraZier was a lot more similar to Dempsey than foreman was to anyone Dempsey fought...both Frazier and Dempsey were similar height and reach both had great left hooks, both used a lot of head movement, both loved to fight on the inside...foreman massacred Frazier...Dempsey was a lot smaller ...how’s he gonna handle foreman’s strength and power when they go toe to toe?

    That explains why you're such a ***** then. **** the police. Y'all are the biggest criminals out of everyone.
    Probably a ****ing republican too...

    My older posts get likes from time to time. You've probably got 30,000 more of those than me so you should be well ahead.

    I really don't care who PMs you about me. I bet it's the same dudes who get butterflies in their stomach whenever they see I quoted their post.

    A law enforcement/military/first responder hater. You’re true colors are coming out.

    I think you will find the majority disagree with you here. Most people in the United States support the police
