    All very well saying you were quoting something now isn't it but you sure didn't make that public at the time did you?.....just another blatant attempt to make yourself seem more knowledgeable.

    Did you claim to have sparred with a retired Joe Frazier as well?.....oh jesus you just keep on giving.

    Yes I did.. idiot. You have no life, you're on my page 24/7 searching through all my posts and googling them. That's your sole reason for being on the forum. Like Azzer, your to immature to handle being on a forum.

    Tbh, you were starting so many threads i thought, wow, this guy really knows his stuff so i got curious and the rest is history as they say.
    Strange how your new threads with have dried up since isn't it!

    Google caught you out and no doubt will do again.

    Yes we've had quite the rivalry over years. Tbh, we both went a little overboard. But you actually contribute to this forum. Crackcloud doesn't. Literally more than half of his posts are him attempting to call me out after he googles every single one of my posts. Don't take my word for it. Just go through his posts. He's online everyday yet rarely posts. He only posts when he has something to say to me. And on top of that, the guy's an absolute IDIOT. On one of the rare occasions, he actually contributed to the forum, He said Norton had a better chin than Frazier. :lol:

    If you're so eager to talk to me, why don't you pm me? You're just trying to start drama. That's why. And I don't know what you're talking about my new threads "drying ". I'm not going to give you the attention you desperately crave. So I will not respond to you any longer. If you want to discuss things rationally, you can pm me.

    I just don't know why people think of this match-up as a blowout.

    It's true that Foreman was bigger and stronger but he was also sloppier, an inferior technician and had poor stamina. Tyson was much more defensively responsible than Frazier.

    Kevin Rooney explained that Fraziers bobbing and weaving was all wrong, and that he was just begging to be hit with an uppercut moving up and down. Tyson added pendulum like side to side movement to defend against that punch.

    Tyson is also stylistically different than Frazier, contrary to popular belief. Frazier was a pressure fighter who came right at his opponent, Tyson in his prime was an aggressive mid-range counter puncher who would burst in and out with good footwork.

    What happens when Tyson slips Foremans jab and counters him? Foreman was wide open and carried his chin in the air which made him more suspectible to being hurt and stunned. If Lyle can put him on ***** street then so can Tyson.


    What happens if Tyson gets out of the early rounds? He is much more proven over the 12 round distance. Foreman never went 12 rounds and only went 10 rounds 3 times. In one of those fights against Peralta, he was gassed and in serious trouble.

    There are just far too many variables to consider here. It isn't as simple as "Foreman KO1 lulz".
