    Foreman said he didn't think he could beat Liston in his first career?
    Damn that's interesting.

    I will do my best to educate you.

    This thread might have been made to attack Conn/Louis, as much as it might have been made to degrade Lewis.

    The results are about as one sided as you can realistically expect.

    If that is not enough for you, then presumably you need everybody to share your single minded bigotry?

    One of two things might have happened there.

    Lewis might have crushed Jones quickly, or he might have looked like a robot malfunctioning, against a smaller more elusive fighter.

    It would be useful to know!

    Well foreman was younger then,he developed into an overall smarter guy and patient which means a smarter fighter. The notion age is more important is false. skills over ride age particularly when you have Foremans chin because he can take hits while setting up other punches. He was much harder to hurt one he was stronger physically and two mentally is why as well. With Dundee as he said made his career more solid which is another point i always make and thats the importance of the trainer in your corner. Its a known fact he didnt like his trainer when he fought Ali. Another reason speculated why he retired ,he simply didnt trust many guys around him.

    Twilight Zone material right here ^^^^^

    Educate me?? i dont even know what that response was about as usual! particulary matching elusive RJJ to a not remote talent in Conn as if RJJ will simulate the Lewis /conn match..bizarre! lol
