    Yes he beat Moorer. And it’s safe to say 51’ Louis, Leon Spinks and Primo Carnera would all beat Moorer too. It does not prove much. Moorer was an accidental champion who beat Holyfield when he had a strange performance. Evander had the fight won early but stopped working and fought in a trance. The rematch put things into perspective. He had Moorer up and down like a yoyo. As would 90% of all champions.

    George was a “happy to be there” champ. He has to be happy he got his hands on Moorer before anyone else did. Lewis, Bowe, Tyson were all around at the time.. and George had to be happy that all he had to do was lose to get the opportunity.

    Thank you for taking the time to view these fights. The films prove Louis beat live and worthy opponents to climb the ranks. It’s a great pity others form their opinions only watching the Foreman fights..

    Bivins did lack size but he was beating a lively 6’3” opponent here (doc Williams) who beat Bob Satterfeild, Bert lytell and Charley Burley on the Circuit where the black guys fought each other.

    Still sifting through and rearranging facts i see. I knew it would be a waste of time to reply.

    Youre not here to debate, you want everyone on board with your narrative and you prove it in literally every post and every valid point someone makes. The only reason i dont ignore you is because despite how frustratingly impossible it is to have an intelligent, honest conversation, your rants, logic fallacies, and mental gymnastics are hilarious.

    Good job closing the poll too, nice touch lol.

    You are an excellent poster mate, but you crossed the line with that response to
    Choklab. A simple," sorry I went over the top ,"would resolve things.C'mon, you are better than this.

    No it’s got nothing to do with the warped disturbing things in your head at all. Why would it? I refuse to respond to the haunting, appalling fantasy’s of a depraved mad man.

    I guess you are not man enough to take back what you said. Too bad. Well I am man enough not to lower myself to your kind of gimpy keyboard warrior garbage.

    I am man enough to admit i took things too far.

    You werent man enough to admit you intentionally misrepresented facts, spun narratives, or just flat out lied in over two dozen other threads and posts. So sure, ill take it back what i said, but idk where u get off acting like the morality police when tons of other posters have called u out on your biased nonsense and u keep up the same routine.

    Thanks for admitting you took things too far.

    As for the other stuff, well, I have not flat out lied about anything at all. I have produced evidence that I have felt supported my side of the debate. Bivins and Brion looked good on film after losing to Joe Louis. It has allowed me to reevaluate comeback Joe Louis. Nothing dishonest there.

    The facts are as bare as Foremans head.

    The facts are you arent fair in your assessment for both fighters.

    The facts are you admitted and announced your intention to change peoples perception of certain fighters (like liston). So forgive me if im suspicious that you have an agenda when you said so out of your own mouth. It doesnt help that you take a cheap shot at foreman every chancr you get by calling him "bald", a "circus act", "obese", "lucky" etc.

    The facts are louis never fought anything like the way morrison fought foreman so its irrelevant when discussing how louis would do. Half a dozen people have told you this and you ignore it.

    The facts are morrison getting koed by bennt after beating foreman doesnt mean foreman wasnt aby good. Thats stupid circular logic. Frazier beat ali then got crushed by foreman so does that mean ali wasnt any good? Thats not how how boxing works and i could give dozens of examples provin how flawed your logic is. This has ALSO been explained to you numerous times before.

    Foreman getting wobbled once or twice is a silly criticism when he was never dropped, let alone stopped, as a 40 year old man against guys half his age. You keep bringing it up like it matters.

    You discredit and question the punching power of the guys who landed flush on foreman to tip toe around and attempt to downplay his chin. Briggs was a prime young heavyweight who set the record for 1st round kos and couldnt put a dent in foreman and chose to circle around him and avoid a war. Morrisons power is without question, ray charles could see that he hit hard. Cooney was past his best but power is the last thing to go and ill take larry holmes norton, and foremans word that he had frightening power over you. Alex stewart also had good power. Prime holyfield and moore had very high ko %'s and could crack yet couldnt do more than wobble foreman. His chin is iron, get the hell over it already.

    The FACTS are Moore was an undefeated 2 weight class champ who was never stopped. Moore had several good wins over rated contenders and the ONLY reason people downplay foremans win are benefit of hindsight and/or angry they lost a bet. Moore was only stopped 3x against big punchers/hall of famers in over 60+ pro fights so idk where this idea comes that he was the biggest glass jawed fraud and the "worst champion" as you put it...which again shows your BIAS.

    The FACTS are you ignore any good win/close wins foreman has and claim the other guy got robbed and never give foreman the benefit of the doubt. The FACTS are in this very thread you ignored official rulings when it suited your argument but threw a fit when i did the same to tear apart louis' resume. Its very hypocritical of you.

    So if you combine all these glaring instances than yeah, you look biased as hell, especially when you go into almost every thread of fighters you dont like every week and repeat the same stuff over and over. Im sick of going in circles and you dont concede anything.

    you have only been on here since January, I don’t know where you get your facts from about any announcement. This was very minor misunderstanding, long forgotten years before you joined, made in response to hype about a fighter rather than the fighter himself. Your accusations are entirely fact free.

    I was trying to distinguish between prime George and comeback George. Bald George is less of a mouthful. And because I am old enough to remember the comeback, until George was gifted the opportunity to fight a weak champion on the back of a loss, his comeback was ridiculed for being a circus act over and over.


    I have stressed Louis did not need to fight like Morison to beat Foreman many times. Morrison did not fight like Morrison did against Foreman until he fought Foreman. Louis only has to fight as well as films show he did against Brion, Agramante and Savold to beat an even older Foreman than he was.

    no it means Foreman was as good as he could be for his age. Morrison’s record really does not stand up to ATG scrutiny and neither does Foremans comeback, fascinating though it was. Not if you measure in terms of real champions and real contenders who beat other contenders through climbing the ranks.

    it means before he was hospitalised Frazier beat a guy Foreman could not.

    yes, about those one round victims Briggs beat... did you ever watch that documentary where mike Marley talks openly describes his method of opponent selection for Briggs...

    his chin proved Iron against the guys he fought what do you want from me? crucially he did not fight the best of his time on the comeback so it’s a bit of a moot point isn’t it. We could say Leon Spinks proved to have an iron chin if he refused a rematch with Ali, handed back his belts and took the linear title on tour against guys your sister could beat.

    where is the list of 24 champions you said Moorer could beat?

    Moorer was not a fraud. He legitimately beat Holyfield. He just was not recognised as the best heavyweight in the world at that time. True or false.

    I don’t recal you tearing Joe Louis record apart. It was not convincing if you did.

    I am willing to concede. I want to lose the argument and win the truth. I really do. But if I say Foreman never beat anybody above or below himself in the Ring Magazine top ten and landed a fight with the champion on the back of a loss (to guy who was knocked out by a ten fight novice in his next fight) when George had one win in two and a half years.. and you can’t say that isn’t true what is there to concede? It’s either true or you don’t like it.

    What about your claim Foreman beat no-one in the Ring top 10? One could hardly not know Moorer was, that would be impossible.

    No surprise LOL. It's 9-5 to Foreman so he's got close enough to 2/3's of the vote.

    The fat lady has been singing for a while.
