    Were most champions black? So yeah you do get more points. you cant just beat up on one race and avoid the other and get credit. in my opinion the best middleweight, super middleweights and light heavyweights today are white so if you are black you have to fight them..

    Primo was champ because he was a mob controlled fighter. marciano was a mob controlled fighter, so was lamotta so you dont get credit because of a belt. Foreman beat bigger guys like Briggs and Briggs had more skill than Primo

    Lol Do you know who Primo is or was? Just a big slow lug who wailed on 180 pound guys.

    I am not saying Primo had no balls, he tried his best, he was a big dude but he wasnt that skilled. Max showed balls like no fighter you see today but the point is he wasnt that skilled either. He looked great fighting limited opponents. Foreman faced and beat better fighters than Primo or Max.

    You get what i am saying Janitor.

    And I know most fighters than were controlled by the mob but winning a belt because you are italian and the italian mob controlled boxing doesnt impress me. And if you dont think much of Shannon Briggs skill then what do you think about Vitali fighting a washed up version of him.

    Can you tell me your opinion on that please.

    Thank you for the reply Janitor, Actually I only seen 1 fight of Primo so maybe he did have better skill. I only seen him get smashed by Max Baer. And I have only seen 3 Baer fights. The Primo, the Louis and I cant remember the other one.

    But as I said thanks for the reply

    Max power was so great he couldnt hurt China chin Joe Louis even though Conn was able to hurt him? Baer's power was overrated. Him so called killing 2 guy is overrated too. He punch 1 guy in the back of the head with those small gloves they used then.

    Foreman in 2 rounds

    Great fight. They are both very agresive punchers. There is not much difrance in the two from what I have seen style wise. I think Foreman hit harder but was cruder than Bear. Despite having ko losses in their primws I don't see either as weak chined. Foreman's loss to Ali was due to exustion as much as anything else and Bear lost to Louis who could stop anyone under 220 if he got a clean shot at them. Foreman is bigger but not by much. I think in a fight like this it is going to be the nore ring savy guy who wins. It will be exciting from start to end but I think Bear wins 10-5.

    Rip stay off the crack. If the 205 pound Louis could wack him out in 2 or 3 then so would Foreman.

    Both could bang like the Dickens, so a thriller and a KO is evident in the making, but Foreman being a hair bigger and probably a hair or two stronger as well, has me picking Foreman over Baer by wicked KO inside 6 rds...

    FOREMAN!:bbb
