    so do you think he's #1??
    I guess #3 is okay for Lewis, but I would rather have holmes at that point, then Ali, then louis.
    I certainly think it's rediculous to have Lewis #1.

    I said some people have him at 3, not myself. I've never even actually made a top ten list of any division, actually.

    Foreman said that Cooney was his twin in terms of power and I think that he genuinely believed it.

    lol I think Cooney had better 1 punch knockout power.
    Foreman was the better puncher though.

    This was a joke of a fight in all reality. Sure, George looked like an absolute destroyer, but again, look at who he was fighting. I would have been much more impressed with George if he had knocked out a Razor Ruddock or even a Tim Witherspoon or Michael Dokes in such a fashion. An exciting Kayo in an otherwise meaningless fight.....

    I had some video once where Victor Valle was showing Cooney how to throw his hook to what Valle called the 'funny bone' I think it was in his camp for the Holmes fight.
