    Excellent argument as to why Zhang's weight advantage over little George would be a decisive factor. Keep fighting the good fight :lol:

    Ruddock, Tucker, Mercer are nobodies in terms of accomplishments but we see them getting picked over Dempsey, Marciano, Langford, etc pretty regularly on this forum.

    Let's not pretend like this doesn't happen all the time

    Nina Simone understood what Z be topping out at. She sang a verse that went:

    Color is a beautiful thing, I know, oh, yes, I know
    Color is the I Ching Ching, for sure, ding-Zhang

    If that's not appreciation, I don't know what on the Earth in this ole world is.

    Not actually. Careful not to walk into any walls with those Big Bang shades on.

    In absolute terms, Big George hit harder and was stronger than my man Zhang, and even more so in P4P terms (obviously).

    Georgie Boy punched well above his own weight - even when coming in at around 230 lbs.

    Now about that 3 1/2 lbs that you now won’t touch, I get it - that’s probably also the weight equivalent to a single Big Bang turd.

    Spindly, chinny, wore torn Wilder actually weighed the same as Chuvalo (214 1/2 a piece).

    Crazy, isn’t it?

    But let’s instead about talk how George’s extra 3 1/2 lbs (= one Big Bang turd) over Chuvalo meant that George brought nothing else to the table other than an astronomical weight/size advantage - your original position.

    Meanwhile, forget the 68 lbs Zhang held over Wilder, Big Bang’s performance was all about skill and nothing else.

    16 per punches per round. Averaged, that’s about 1 punch launched every 12 seconds. Zhang, a proverbial human windmill - eat your heart out Greb!

    With a connection rate less than half of those few punches thrown - Zhang ain’t getting Foreman out of there.

    You’re conveniently meandering off your original points and landing yourself in a world of contradictions(s).

    Also, Big Bang got an absolutely free shot on an already badly hurt Wilder but Deontay still pulled himself up before the count of “10”.

    Foreman gets a free shot like that, Deontay stays down, snoring. Zzzzzz. :cool:

    Reading your posts, you stopped reading anything posted by anyone who proved you wrong. Cool way to avoid facts though, bro. :lol:

    :lol:

    On the bright side, at least an armed Foreman detractor is unlikely to shoot anything but their own foot.

    When he realizes you made a valid point, he immediately either becomes sarcastic, changes the topic, or unwittingly proves your point attempting to be witty. It's a consistent pattern throughout the thread.

    I'd love an explanation for how Foreman was a weight bully when Zhang's best win is a gunshy 39 year old coming off a loss who was nearly 70 lbs lighter.

    Damn, Mr Speech Writer, you just can't seem to realise when you are ahead, can you?
    See, logic is neither your nor Pugguy's forte here. It can simultaneously be true that both Zhang AND Foreman use their weight advantage to overcome their opponents. You are making my case for me here, since it happens that Foreman is nearly 70lbs lighter than Zhang too ;)

    So you finally admit Zhang was even MORE of a weight bully than Foreman...! Now your entire argument falls apart by your own admission. Good job Mr. Logic.

    ;)

    Stronger and hits harder? Those are not "facts", they're your opinions Mr. Logic. Grab a dictionary.

    These are facts:

    Foreman's best KO win is undefeated gold medalist, reigning champion 29 year old Joe Frazier.

    Zhang's best KO win is 3x loser bronze medalist, 38 year old Deontay Wilder.

    Which is the more impressive KO...?
