EDIT: From reading other posts, most are interpreting this thread as a boxer vs. average man. I thought it was boxer vs. boxer in a no rules...
Richard, it's hard to respond to your post without mentioning a lot of fighters who ended up as burdens on their families. I'm not going to do...
What people say about a fighter on a message board doesn't put food on the table or make them healthy. IMO, Cooney, Holmes, and Foreman are some...

Good point, Foreman had about 3 good rounds, AJ probably has more. GF fought as a giant in his era, against AJ he would be giving up 3 inches in...
I don't know, the Holmes jab is one of the best individual punches I've seen in boxing, and Holmes is good in all phases of the game. But the...
