    Foreman in his comeback 40+ was not like the GH and steroid using pros of the last 15 years. He was a fat old man and still he was pure Iron. Can you imagine if he sold out and used drugs like many of the guys he fought in his comeback, it would have been a blood bath.

    No 40+ athlete even comes close to what the drug free Foreman accomplished.

    Shot did nothing, Foreman was not stunned, just off balance, but it did make him mad and the fight ended fast,

    Lol at people talking about Holyfield's punching power. He never had that one punch Ko in him, he didn't floor Tyson, Tyson was off balance and he got up quickly. Even after numerous shots to the face, Holyfield still couldn't floor him, Tyson's lack of stamina is what cost him in the last few rounds and made him look drunk.

    Still that doesn't take away Foreman's incredible Chin, if he could take Morrison's shots to the face, i am pretty sure he might have been able to deal with Lewis and Tyson's punches as well.

    Nothing at all. I was lazy and didn't read the context properly. *goes back into hiding*
