    I think we should exclusively use a term to refer to George Foreman fans on here. Maybe Foremaniacs?

    I think Evander could outheart Anthony Joshua in a hard-punching war. The Real Deal eventually stops him after taking quite a bit of punishment himself.

    Foremaniacs is perfect, people had an equally silly nickname at one time that only @mcvey used? Or is the only one who uses it today?

    What's the Mcvey one?

    I'm going with Foremaniacs as a regular thing from now on.

    You two ought to be the founding members. You claim to dislike the guy and call everyone else fanatics, yet you’re the only ones constantly dragging him into threads that have nothing to do with him.

    I'm going to say maybe... Joe Frazier.
    But I wouldn't advise it.

    Hes not beating Joe this way. He would need to box very disciplined against Joe. The minute he decides to go toe to toe with Joe he's getting stopped at some point.
