    If you don't want to acknowledge the many faces of Foreman then it's quite simple. **** off and go and talk about the Greb fights you watched last week. Isn't it bad enough that these guys don't even get mentioned in top 10 lists, but now we're not even allowed to subject them to fantasy match-ups? This place is run like a concentration camp...sorta like the ones in Auschwitz, Bodhi.

    Agreed

    Doesn't it give him enhanced ring IQ and super vision? Don't tell me it's purely an aesthetics thing? I think at the very least psychologically it gives him the belief he's smarter and therefore enhances his confidence and ability. Monocle Foreman never would've tired out in Zaire because he just be way too smart to do such a foolish thing. The parrot in that instance would've been useless, just repeating the same tiresome advice Dick Saddler was saying "Go get him George." The parrot is only as valuable as George's corner. This is important since George doesn't like to listen to his corner but loves to listen to his parrot (He's an animal lover).

    You bring up some good points. Perhaps the bookies have gotten it wrong, as they so often do in big fights like this. I still wouldn't favor a stoppage, Old Foreman with a Parrot on his shoulder would not allow himself to be stopped for he would have a taco waiting at the end of every round. He'd rather take a sustained beating then get sent home early on an empty stomach. This would be damage limitation.

    I'm off to go put some money down on Monocle. :good

    I don't disagree. Foreman with a parrot is one of the greatest HWs that has even been seen or not seen. I think he should be a slight favorite, but I feel Monocle Foreman is being a little overlooked. While Old Parrot Foreman has the eye of a tiger and the appetite of a lion I just feel Monocle George wouldn't be dumb enough to pull off another Zaire. He'll see Old Parrot Taco George gain strength but won't over-exert himself. I think he'll inevitably fade, but he'd have won those early rounds. I'm just saying the man could win a decision! It's a close fight that either of them could take. It's one of those fights that make you think... This is why we watch boxing!

    I voted Other, and I'd like to explain why:

    In a battle like this with two fierce but evenly matched competitiors, picking the winner is easier than you think.

    It's the fans.

    The fans win. When the best fight the best, everybody wins.


    Now I'm going to turn it around and ask a question of my own: is anyone else really, I mean REALLY turned on by Old George dressed in drag? Those are some serious DSL's. Great legs. Soft. Matronly. I'm gonna borrow a line from El Puma and say "luckily my dick can take a beating like Tex Cobb."

    Beautiful, Boggle. Just beautiful. I wish you were able to create such poetry in threads of your own...but that's the big tragedy isn't it.

    There will come a time when you're laying on your deathbed that you'll reminisce over these days in your head, and wish you had put life in perspective when it mattered.
