    By the way, Holyfield had 13 consecutive KO/TKO wins prior to the Foreman fight.

    Out of these KO's he beat 4 current or former CW champions and 3 HW champions. Not a bad IMO

    If anything, it's the opposite. Not many fighters would be able to take a beating like that and not go down.

    Foreman has an ATG chin.

    Big George was 42 and Holyfield 29 and in His Prime...and the Fight went the distance...He did not Quash the Myth at all and It's a stupid call.!!!

    Foreman to me was the archetype Heavyweight. Even at his advanced age, Holyfield could not put a dent in him.

    So did Groves "expose" Froch's bone china mandible then? if we're using these standards

    people dont realise how hard even "feather fisted" boxers actually hit

    And holyfield was not featherfisted
