    Foreman weighed 215 in peak form. He'd cut to 200 lbs. and rehydrate fairly comfortably.

    Any added weight above 21 he loses speed and wind. We saw what happened against Lyle and Young. Imagine him against someone who can punch.

    Breazeale doesn't get decked by dudes like Ali and Lyle... (neither did Jerry Quarry for that matter). He hasn't been retired by a Jimmy Young type.

    How many rounds did Foreman need to finally put away Peralta?

    Breazeale is a D Level fight compared to whom?

    Foreman is a D Level fighter compared to Marciano. But no one gives Marciano a bat's chance in Hell in that fight because the size disparity is so drastic.

    In Indian traditional medicine (Ayurveda) we have a wonderful cure for you. Try drinking three tall glasses of bleach. You will feel much better!

    Lol Foreman weighed 230 as a 19 year older and lost weight to get to 212 for one fight and then put back on that weight and by the time he retired he was 231. If you want to use your logic Deontay Wilder weighed as low as 207. Wladimir Klistchko weighed as low as 220.

    Clearly you are just trying to troll for attention. I don't deal with trolls so you get ignored.

    Willie Pastrano weighed 250 lbs. when he took up Boxing. Tell us how he bombs out today's Heavyweights! Come on, you know it's in you!

    Both would likely smash the division, simply in a slightly different manner.
