    A tomato can poses the same risk to your health that George Foreman would.

    I now know all I need to know.

    Is there an easy way to throw together youtube clips and music? These seem like a lot of fun.

    If that's not what you meant then your response makes no sense at all. If a tomato can poses LESS threat of you getting injured "like you can against a great fighter" (your words), then there is nothing illogical about not being intimidated by lesser fighters but being scared of better ones.

    In his first career, George Foreman beat Joe Frazier twice and beat Kenny Norton. He didn't just beat them but annihilated them. Both men had beaten Ali, and Norton pushed Larry Holmes in one of the greatest heavyweight title fights of all time. That settles it for me.

    But, who did Ali beat? Ali beat Frazier, but Foreman beat Frazier, and Foreman didn't beat anybody great. Ali beat Foreman, but Foreman didn't beat anybody great. Who did Holmes beat? He beat Norton, but Foreman beat Norton, and Foreman didn't beat anybody great. Holmes beat Cooney, but Foreman beat Cooney, and Foreman didn't beat anybody great.

    Here's you: "Listen, I've got all respect to Foreman and everything. He was good but I gotta ask this and no disrespect but...who'd he beat?"

    Here also is you: "You always look back and think people from that era prove their greatness by fighting each other so that you can't look at the fighter on their own merits."

    You've been demanding worthy names on his resume. I gave them to you. And now suddenly what matters is not who a man beat but his "own merits."

    Now that you've changed the subject, your question had already been answered with the same answer that I gave:

    I doubt very much that you did not know that the other ATG that he meant was Norton. If you didn't know that, that is a whole separate problem.

    In any event, I didn't challenge you on your claim that Foreman never beat anyone great. I challenged you on your claim that the ability to intimidate an opponent discredits the opponent's worthiness. I had no obligation to respond to your answering a question with an unrelated question but did so in the spirit of keeping conversation rather than treating you as a troll, which others have counseled me to do.
