    InmemoryofJakelaMotta gets the money Braddock owed him, together with the interest and an apology note. As an aside, I feel it was a low tactic to use and I suggest a lawyer next time.

    Lmao I was going to make this thread a few days ago! I think he would be a real tough out for foreman. Maybe even an upset. But if I were betting it would be on Foreman.

    Braddock goes from being the Cinderella man to sleeping beauty except he won’t be no beauty as Foreman would bust him up before putting him to sleep.

    Hey he put up a good effort against Louis and he beat a type of Foreman in Max Baer and he was known for his durability.

    Foreman is to Baer what Ali is to gene tunney.

    Comparable but one is definitely better in all departments to the other, my prediction is foreman is far too overwhelming of a opponent for braddock and it would be over by stoppage in 2 to 3 rounds.

    Foreman also wasn't just a big puncher with a good chin like baer, he was also way more accurate and better at cutting off the ring
