    In the other thread we have one member contemplating whether Foreman would succeed against Leon Spinks, so I don’t discount any absurdity against Foreman’s name on this forum at this stage.

    Ten people voted "Yes" to the chances of Spinks versus a peak Foreman.

    Things like that make me question why this forum exists at all...

    It's even more terrifying and consummate than the Tyson fight. Spinks nearly makes it past the first round after getting bounced off the canvas twice, but in the last thirteen seconds takes a horrible uppercut that makes the next round moot.

    "Does Michael have any choice at all?"

    That seems like a matter of whether freewill exists not Spink's boxing skills.

    It will make more sense when Dynamicpuncher arrives to explain to you that Foreman never beat Spinks, & therefore there is no evidence to suggest (his pet line) he could do so.

    There is no evidence to suggest he hasn’t had a brain switch with his goldfish either.

    Why you being so salty and bringing other discussions into other threads and bringing up my name trying to instigate an argument ? You said yourself you didn't want to discuss the matter any further and me and @Man_Machine ended the debate in a friendly manner.

    So why are you in this thread bringing up my name and bringing up a subject you said you didn't want to discuss further in the actual thread ? As I've already told you if you have anything say to me quote me stop doing snide comments about me to other posters. And if you don't want to engage with me then stop mentioning my name end of.

    The way your carrying on is like there's some type of grudge it's just a discussion on a boxing forum once I'm done with a debate I move on it's not that deep.

    I didn’t stop mentioning you in the other thread. There’s just nothing to suggest I won’t do it again in the future.

    You accused me of "intellectual dishonesty" to another poster. Then when I challenged you on the comment and told you if you have something say to me quote me. Your response was and I quote "I've checked out of you on this subject"

    So I took that as you were tired of the discussion and didn't want to elaborate any further on the subject. And as me and @Man_Machine ended the debate on a friendly note having different views but respecting eachothers different opinions I thought that was the end of it.

    But here you are on another thread bringing up name to another poster having a snide comment about me yet again. So I'm confused what the deal with you is to be quite honest. I thought it was just a normal debate and we move on but apparently not.

    He didn’t respect your opinion, he was just being polite for the sake of it.

    The only way Spinks can win is if he runs and waits for George to tire. More likely George hurts him and gets him out of there before he tires.

    So another snide comment ? Do me a favour don't bother interacting with me in future if you can't handle different opinions. I'm not wasting my time having arguments with strangers on the Internet because you want to hold grudges on a boxing forum.

    Let's just not interact and everyone's happy end of good day to you.
