54 is pretty ancient for an athlete. There is nothing magical about it, power diminishes with age, as does strength. Not as quickly as speed and...
The thread is about if Jones defended against a comebacking Foreman. We dont exactly know what shape George was in at that time, but his body was...
Even heroes grow old, Foreman is no exception. No one in this thread, no one, has picked Jones to beat a prime Foreman or the Foreman that was...
Foreman would have been in his mid fifties by then, coming out of a six year retirement. I suspect Jones would win every round and cruise to...
Tua was naturally bigger than Marciano, no question. I never questioned that. Marciano was in perfect shape at 185, in his era. The training...

I admit Im ignorant then because I had no idea that Hamed beat 10 world champions, the ones I can name from memory are Soto, Johnson, Vazquez and...
Hamed could take him out if Manny gets reckless, he has that power, but I wouldn't bet on it. People that point to the Marquez fight should think...
If Tommy somehow survives Qawi (a big ask), it would have been through running all night, and he still would be bruised and battered at the end. I...
