    Absolutely mad and frustrated. Usually when somebody starts insulting when he was not insulted previously it is because he is losing the debate so he gets desperated

    19 in 30? Liston had 39 in 50? Exactly the same proportion. Uh?

    You don't think this is insulting? Making allowances for English not being your first language, this remark would warrant a smack in the mouth in my local pub.

    Look if were going to bring up Liston losing to Martin at 39 what about Foreman being stopped by Ali and dropped by Young and Lyle? Clearly 70s Foreman didn't have the best chin and could be hurt and stopped by guys who were not big punchers.

    Did Lyle not drop Foreman twice?

    Again if you feel the Martin fight is an issue it seems fair to bring up Formemans fights with Ali Lyle and Young

    I saw Wepner talk about fighting them, he said George was a big strong powerful kid, but the man he said that really hurt him, was an old Sonny Liston .

    Foreman actually sparred with Cleveland and said years later he was one of the hardest punchers he ever faced
