    Get used to it he does such stuff all the time regarding Foreman and much much much worse. Same with Ali and co.

    A bit curious as to why you didn't make this poll public.

    First off Foreman is 6 ft 4. Also he has more power than Zhang. He probably has more power than anyone in the history of boxing.

    You don't think Foreman has more power than Zhang?

    Imagine the Lyle fight, except Zhang is drilling him in round one instead and then keeping him on the back foot if he actually beats the count.

    You conveniently deleted the "except Fitz." part.

    I was supposed to put "but only P4P". To my horror I realized I forgot to type that and had made a terrible mistake.

    Yeah - just imagine a 'Lyle-Like' Zhang.



    Shame we'll never get to see one, but you'll always have that imagination of yours to fall back on.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: That's VERY different.

    I still disagree but fair enough.

    I rank Sonny Liston, Earnie Shavers, and Deontay Wilder as harder punchers than Foreman but if someone ranks Foreman as Numero Uno, I have no stones.

    Did Foreman ever fight a southpaw who wasn’t a blown up, chinny 175er? Imagining him signing a contract to fight Zhang is good for a laugh.

    Depends on if Foreman gasses out/talks to Jesus.
