    They have a shootout, they both tire, they both get second winds and it’s in Foreman’s where he does more damage, you can’t afford to be gassed in front of prime Foreman, Foreman would see out what Mercer has to give.

    Lots of complaints and a couple of reports emanating from this thread/Foreman discussions generally.

    If people are disturbing to you, put them on ignore. It can save som much hassle and would have saved about three out of every four posters barred from this place.

    If you’ve stop enjoying the forum or a favourite fighter because of one or two posters, put them on ignore and go back to enjoying the forum and those fighters.

    Never thought I'd say this but the guy does have a point here (there's a first for everything).

    "Um what evidence is there for George KOing guys with the stamina and chin of Mercer in the late rounds?

    Chuvalo's chin was even better than Mercer's and his stamina was more proven and he didn't even make it to the late rounds. I was gonna go for Foreman in a mid round to late TKO, but will now change my pick to an Early KO, thanks to the above reasoning.
