    It wouldn't even be fair to have had anyone fight George Foreman. He quite literally would be unbeatable. Someone would have gotten killed.

    Sangria shows his inexperience. Foreman had Lyle against the ropes most of round 3. If you mean round 4 Lyle was down mid round and was taking heavy punishment when he nailed Foreman with a right that dropped him at rounds end. Foreman at no time was at the point where the fight should have been stopped. I watched the bout live. Stop the constant rubbish.

    Dude you suck at this. Foreman was down hard when the bell rang to end the 4th. He got up and skipped back to his corner almost tripping on the canvas. If that happened 30 seconds earlier Lyle would've torn his head off.

    It's on youtube. You do know what youtube is, do you?

    Foreman would use his jab and hit Bruno sometime in the first round and wobble him, Frank might make it into the second round before getting clubbed in unconscious. Razor might make the fifth after being dropped a couple of times

    Sangria is so young and sooo inexperienced.

    You said round 3. The action you are trying to describe happened in round 4. Foreman went down then Lyle went down and was ready to go trapped along the ropes. THEN he hit George with a counter right hand that put him down and he got up at the bell. No chance any respectable ref would stop that fight at that point in time. There was no one at that time who ever wrote the bout could have been stopped and only you have ever stated that a 1980's ref would have stopped it. All garbage.

    I watched the bout live as well as watched all the lead up to the fight as well as the aftermath ....did you?

    Anyone can watch it on YouTube.

    You saying you remember the minutes and round details from a fight that you watch over 40 years ago?

    I've watched the bout dozens of times on YouTube. The difference however is I also watched the prefight, the bout itself and it's aftermath live with all the details and depth of knowledge it brings.

    Lol neither one of these guys are bigger than Foreman. Foreman was measured at 6'3 1/2 and 230 pounds as a 19 year old. For some reason his trainers dehydrated him down to 212 for one bout. Razor Ruddock actually weighed 183 when he turned pro. Yep because 183 is bigger than 230. Earlier in Frank Bruno's career he weighed 214. Wlad is listed at 6'6 and weighed 220 pounds before he bulked up. Lennox Lewis weighed 220 as a pro. Before you type stuff you should go look up what you are talking about.

    But I agree with Foreman stopping both.

    George would put Bruno to sleep after about 4 rounds
    Ruddock would go out on his shield after hurting George in a war after about 6 rounds.

    Like you said Foreman fought at 212
    Really dont care what he dehydrated down to he fought at 212. Dont care what Razor or Bruno weighed early in there career when they were mature fighters they fought in the 230's 240's.
    Befor you type stuff do your research

    I'm talking prime weights. And weights they were best at and Foreman's championship weight was 217- 225.
