    I don’t like to pretend...go find some friends....

    He did come back, and I find his legacy greater...not to be confused with a wide disparity.
    I rate George on my 5-6 tier, and Tyson on my 7-9 tier. So even though I find Foreman greater, the difference is small as with most top 10 ATGs.

    H2H I already have given my pick...not really interested in yours no offense!

    But he has the advantage in power and probably similar chin. Something Mike Tyson had never faces in his career. Also Foreman was good at fighting smaller fighters. Tysons speed and skill advantage would get neutralized

    He keeps getting banned after being vicious even to people who are nice & patient with his posts even when hardly coherent.
    Hopefully when he returns he will learn & stop being disrespectful to those who have a different opinion.

    Again in this thread nobody was mean to him-but he calls two people who show greater intellectual sophistication "idiots".
    The forum has gotten so much better because of people like this being punished.
    They would likely not dare do this in person, so why do it here & get often removed?

    And the attitude makes many folks ignore their posts & opinions.

    Is being aggressive and vulnerable coming in a bad style for George Foreman? Cause he only lost to Ali and Young in his first career

    Because the unemployed guy with the grammar of an 8 year old keeps intentionally bumping them. He is flat out obsessed with only certain kinds of threads and calls anyone who disagrees a troll or an idiot.

    2nd time being banned in 1 month, no shock at all.
