    Comeback Foreman was as sharp as i saw him against Cooney. This carried thru to Holyfield i'd say.

    His frequency of fighting leading into Holyfield started to stretch out and this was never going to do him any favors at his advanced age. He was fighting extremely often pre Holyfield. Heck, he hadn't fought for almost a year and a half going into Moorer so he would have been rusty as well as ancient.

    I thought Foreman at 235 against Dwight Qawi was at his best. Yes, he looked really sharp against Cooney too.

    i thought he looked awful v Qawi - too light at 235lbs

    looked good against Cooper, Cooney, Rodriguez and Holyfield and considering he was pushing 50 looked pretty good against Briggs
