    No he doesn't. He simply isn't skilled or fast enough to land enough to take Holyfield out.

    You wrote a long post saying Foreman cannot land a body shot on shorter opponents and people who believe that don't understand boxing. You were wrong.

    The "bum" Muhammad Qawi was a cruiserweight champion who went 15 gruelling rounds with a prime Evander Holyfield.

    The Ring Magazine named Holyfield vs. "The bum" Qawi I the best cruiserweight fight of the 1980s

    The Ring Magazine ranked the fight as the 46th greatest title fight of all-time in 1996

    I don't want to ever see you question anyone's boxing knowledge.

    A fat 260 pound 40 year old version of Foreman with cement in his shoes was fast enough to land plenty of shots on a prime Holyfield, but a prime Foreman is gonna be too slow?

    Do you even think before you talk out of your ass?

    Why's that then? Because he'd have had you as a fan, cheering him on, while he got paneled?

    Again, I agree with this. If Holy could maintain discipline, he has the toolset to outpoint and flummox Foreman over the stretch. But history tells me that sooner or later he's going to try slug with George.

    Holyfield manages to win the first couple of rounds, in and out. But soon as he gets tagged by Foreman and goes for it, Holyfield gets taken out.
    Foreman by 4th round stoppage.

    I wasn't talking about Qawi you dummy, but about the first guy in the clip, Ladislao Mijangos if I'm not mistaken, a total bum.

    I have never been a fan of Holyfield, I am a diehard Tyson fan. So my view on this is more than objective. Holyfield is simply far more skilled than Foreman.

    The problem here is that you're actually demonstrating a total lack of objectivity and have just given your reason for doing so.

    Your analysis at the top of page 2 is laughable, in which you state, "

    "

    Yours is a patently misguided take on fights, in order to support your fandom. You have since added to the above, e.g. according to you, "

    ", which has no basis in fact.


    And now, you offer a sweeping statement about Holyfield's skills. So, in what way is Holyfield "

    " than Foreman?

    Foreman landed hard body shots on 5'11 inch Frazier in their second fight

    When was George in the Village People? Good job old charlietf got booted. I don't think he'd ever have recovered from seeing that photo.
