    I'll remember that the next time I read about the 4 guys Foreman claims were the one guy who hit him harder than anyone else.

    the point is, most boxer's statements, that also co-exist with known & recored history needn't be questioned. Moore stating this shouldn't be a questionable surprise, Nor SHOULD IT MATTER, it's nor a big deal!

    whats more confusing is the absolute unbelievable misunderstanding that there aren't some "other" Great fighters too, you know!

    scheesh!

    Thank you for posting that, Thistle. I knew Curtis was a very hard puncher and a tough man, but did not know all of the rest that the article talked about. I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

    Often when you look into it, you find that the people naming a second rate fighter as the hardest hitter they ever faced actualy lost to them.

    Some people are so obsessed with the idea of fighters picking a "hardest hitter" to boost their own standing, that they don't even look at whether the premise makes any sense.
