    Just joining the most recent trend...

    So does he go 50-0?
    Does he chalk up a bunch of easy wins against Louis, Walcott, Marciano, Charles, Moore, Patterson, Johansson, Lastarza, Valdez ? You know, those guys who went from being great to total bums as soon as color film was invented.

    The obvious answer is that he beat the great Tim Witherspoon, and therefore would probably beat all but Louis and Marciano, being generous to The Rock, because we know what Tim would’ve done.

    He gets a shot at Marciano and gets blasted in 8.

    Bigfoot does about the same as he did in his own era. A fringe contender, nothing more.

    I think he holds his own with Wills Applegate and Art Henri

    He accidently steps on Rocky Marciano's foot, shattering all of his toes with those big clodhoppers, Lol.

    He actually wore size 9 shoes, haha.

    The nickname came not from the size of his feet, but from the fact that he was a hairy ******* who didn’t shave his chest/back like most fighters.

    Richard “Almost Bigfoot” Murrieta

    You could use “Dixie Chicken” by Little Feat as your ring-walk music.
