    I feel like people underestimate how much of a genetic freak Muhammad was to George. I personally always felt knowing what I knonw now,that Muhammad was an even bigger freak than George,he just was prettier

    Says the one who stalks Foreman threads like a hawk and tears down any post with a slight hint of positivity for Foreman. You are a sad sad man.

    With the kind of raw power Foreman had, technique doesn't matter when your casual hits can crater heavy bags.

    He was the best version of men whom rely to much on power and ignored there other skills…Max Baer, Wilder, Lyle, Satterfield, Galento, and many others.
    I thought he was a thing of beauty to watch. Although the awkward flailing of the arms was tough to watch at times his underrated speed and ability to close a ring were things to behold.

    You’re as much an “expert” as any of us Cec.

    And I agree - there was quite a bit more to prime Foreman than just brute power.

    Technique,schmecnique, his fights with Frazier and Norton were something to behold.

    You realize you haven't even contributed to the thread (other than replying to me) right? Further proving my point that you literally scout Foreman threads, looking for posts with any hint of positivity for Foreman and try to tear it down. Your obsession is worrying at this point.

    Post reported for such a disgraceful misuse of the "m" word.

    A permaban surely isn't out of the question

    I Can't and Don't watch many fights present or past,

    I'll watch snippets or highlight reels of fighters I need to know about, or in sourcing out Proper Old Footage, but no, I watch very few fights... few to get excited about, to be honest.
