    He's certainly slightly better at doing so than regular Foreman

    So the answer is Joe Louis?

    First off, kudos for being the first person to ask.

    My slightly more serious answer is: If other forum arguments can largely avoid stylistic analysis by simply noting that Fighter X beats Fighter Y because Fighter X was "better" (being a champion, occupying a higher Ring ranking more consistently, etc.), then this question should be easily answerable without any further details. :naughty2:

    I think I am missing the point of this slightly.

    Correct me if I am wrong- Is this a parody when say a Vince Phillips vs Floyd Mayweather pops up and there are no break downs, no real reasonable posts simple things like "Floyd was just better" "Floyd takes it to him" ect without actually analysing or most likely watching Vince? Assuming Mayweather wins based on a higher standing.

    It's partly to be silly, and partly to gently nudge people to do more stylistic breakdowns.

    But mostly it's to be silly.

    The slightly better Foreman is perhaps a wee bit overconfident?
    Maybe takes Slightly not better Foreman lightly?



    We have another Zaire!!!!
