    He beats Floyd Patterson.

    I'd have him 50/50 with K-Bros, Foreman.

    Ahh Rasta Borat you have to rude! As I have gotten older I try error on the side of being polite , this obviously it is wasted on you.

    While George should have been given the victory the win the fact that he was robbed precludes one from factually stating that he that he beaten Briggs. If GEORGE had been given the decision he would have faced Lenox Lewis, however, after being robbed Georgia decided to hang them up. I was surprised he would be robbed in this manner. Usually robberies make financial sense. Perhaps one of the adults in the forum maybe able to add some insight.

    After watching the fight it was actually one of those times that I was turned off to the sport. So no, I didn’t post based on information from box rec in order to get attention. Just to make sure you understand, this is an anonymous boxing forum you do not get any real attention. My name is not even really Nighttrain! I was responding to an adult, FrankinDallas, who posts interesting relevant information in case had misremembered incorrectly which can happen. Bottom line when adults are talking you shouldn’t bother commenting.

    Perhaps you are attempting to be nuanced or funny ? recognize that while obviously facts are not your friend, nuance is your bitter enemy. I have never really been convinced if you are stupid, drunk, mentally ill, or a troll, perhaps all then. I am convinced that when you’re funny it is unintentional.

    AJ is lucky he was not around in the days of James J Corbett. Meat and potatoes with water from the spring mountains. None of this GMO poison, or any of that protein shake crap. James J Corbett would run pushing a wheelbarrow full of mud. They don't make him like that anymore.

    Nope. You just don’t get it.
    Again, the victory given to Shannon Briggs precluded a Foreman vs Lewis fight and lead to Foreman’s retirement.

    Counter to your meaningless denial the fight was indeed an elimination bout, the winner to face Lennox Lewis.

    Can you guess who Lennox Lewis fought next?? That’s right . . Shannon Briggs!!!

    And yes I was surprised that GEORGE would get robbed in that I believed Foreman Lewis to be a bigger draw. Perhaps I was wrong about that. I am not wrong and stating that you are a complete moron. You consistently post nonsense. This cannot be chalked up to a language barrier . You claim to speak three or four languages meaning only more people are privy to your idiocy.

    Size doesn't equate to punching power at heavyweight. Any fighter over 200lbs is capable of hitting harder than Joshua if he is better skilled, and have the physicality . Technique, timing, and raw physical talent is far more important. If size was the end all, no one should've ever withstood the punching power of Primo Canera. You size Kings just don't get that part.

    But lately the heaviest punchers generally seem to be 240+

    It's only because the competition is bad, and untrained. Not because of the weight.

    Wilder is the strongest puncher in the heavyweight division and he is around 220 pounds most of the time.

    Even if you put Joshua ahead of him it still doesn't change that Wilder is one of the hardest punchers in the heavyweight division which debunks your argument that the heaviest punchers are 240+ pounds because Wilder is
    around 220 pounds most of the time and he only weighed 215 pounds in his latest fight.

    No, at the very least you have balance. While you may have maintained your inner child when you post something I have faith that it is based in fact.

    Wilder is really tall and long. No other decent 220 heavyweight really had his dimensions.
