    So I mean no cruiserweights so no Rocky Marcinao's or Dempsey. I also mean complete offense, a person who has power in either hand, a person who works the body.

    I can only name 2 heavyweights who had power in either hand and worked the body and that is George Foreman and Mike Tyson.

    Rocky Marciano and Jack Dempsey were heavyweights.

    I might go for someone like Louis or Tyson in terms of technically skilled offense, maybe they are the cream of the crop. If you want to talk about an offensive nightmare to be in the ring with (seen as though you are taking Marciano away from me), then Joe Frazier.

    Joe Louis wasnt a good body puncher. And i didnt say skill i said impressive in the fact they had power in both hands and were good body punchers.

    It's ok Teeto, Joe Louis was technically sound but wasnt a complete offensive fighter. He rarely worked the body like Tyson and Foreman did.

    I know what you're getting at, in the sense that he wasn't all out on the front foot in a hurry.

    LOL Louis broke a hall of famers back with one body punch. He also hit Kingfish Levinskey so hard to the body, Kingfish sat on the ropes and yelled at the referee "Dont let him hit me again dont let him hit me again!"


    Did Foreman ever break a hall of famer's back with one body shot? Foreman was nowhere near the body puncher or all around puncher louis was. Its not even close.
    In fact Sonny Liston was the better overall puncher and fighter than foreman and would have clearly knocked foreman out had they fought.

    SusieQ did Foreman ever punch you? Did Joe Louis ever punch you? Louis and Dempsey both stated they never seen a person punch as hard as Foreman. Holyfield who fought Bowe, Lewis, Tyson ect ect ect said Foreman hit harder then any of these fighters. Ali said Foreman was a much harder puncher than Sonny Liston, was stronger. had better footwork.

    SusieQ you are a Marciano fan which proves you are a idiot. Please dont respond to any more of my threads. You are ignored now. So respond away, i dont have too see you anymore
