    Another one, Chavez with Comacho or Taylor's hand and foot speed.

    Your Marciano Patterson combo ain't even better than Mike Tyson on his own, let alone a Tyson combo.
    The speed is roughly the same, but Tyson still hit a bit harder and has a better chin.

    Valuev would be better with Usyk`s skills, however he wa hurt by Haye, Ali had a better chin.

    Both were open to hooks, think Bowe even got dopped by Holy`s hook.

    Valero/Pep

    Having read the Edwin Valero thread and agreeing with those who pointed out Valero’s limitations as a fighter despite his 27-0 (27 KOs), I had an idea on how to turn him into an even more formidable, practically invincible ATG as opposed to a KO specialist with power to burn.
    I’d combine him with Willie Pep.

    Pep’s great footwork, movement, counter punching, fast hands and Valero’s incredible KO power and lightweight size would make this guy a two weight GOAT.

    Roberto Duran had better watch out…Willie Valero is out to get ya!

    You can't name me a heavyweight especially that size that could cut the ring like young George Foreman. Very quick on his feet and deceptive handspeed.

    Very poor handspeed with a lot of telegraphed punches.

    I agree but Hagler already had good reach, he had a 75 inch reach.

    His jab was fast and he set Moorer up nicely.

    He had one of the best jabs in the business. He brutalized that Russian guy to win gold with his signature jab, which hits like a telephone pole. Foreman really worked in his inside game during his second career, and it proved very beneficial, obviously, because that was the punch that KOd Moorer (and as you said it was the initial jab that set up the right). It was perfectly delivered behind his left jab. A hidden punch is aways dangerous. Foreman knew what he was doing and was well prepared to NOT be the dope this time around. His strategy going into the fight was exactly what he executed during the actual bout.

    Yeah but don't look for too long because there might just be a KO once it reaches it's destination :) Foreman has one of the highest knockout ratios in boxing history.

    He didn't set up anything. Moorer's ego got the better of him. He wanted to show he can stand toe to toe and trade with Foreman in the last round instead of doing the smart move and keeping his distance for an easy win on the scorecards.

    I never denied his power, he's top 5 all time in that department.
