    Lets imagine Francois Botha had Lewis' power and height and Ali' speed. But Botha' skills, chin and stamina. Put him against Rooney's Tyson. Who wins?

    So long Tyson. Nice seeing you fight. Here's a straw so that you can eat.

    What's the point of this dumbass question?

    Paul Spadafora would beat Duran if he had the speed of Camacho, the power of Edwin Rosario, and the reflexes of Wilfred Benitez... but he didn't.

    Botha was a mediocre fighter. I can't imagine him having non-mediocre qualities.

    I'd say Botha was an above average, solid gritty fighter. He gave some good fighters, good fights. He just didn't have big power, nor much speed. Make him as fast as Ali and as powerful as Lewis though ( :risas3: ) and you have a guy that would clean out boxing.
