That could be. My understanding is that Joe merely drove Paulino's teeth through his mouthpiece, still an extremely impressive display of one punch force.
But wouldn't Holmes hype up Tyson to make it seem like Tyson was a lot better, to make the loss more excuseable? Ali's biggest win was over Foreman, and he still said Shavers hit him harder. IMO the right that Shavers hit Holmes with was harder than anything Foster landed on another man.
Good arguments, Bill. In this cases it´s true. But I spoke in general, study a bit about Foster and you will see that he was really in the league of Shavers, Foreman, etc. (in terms of pure power)...
Didn't Holmes say Tyson wouldn't have been able to live with Shavers or Cooney? Of course this is akin to saying yeah i'm way past and he wouldn't have beaten my challengers let alone myself back in the day.
John, What time is it in Australia? I spoke to you at 7Am this morming, and it is now 8M in America. Are you waking up in the midle of the night to respond to the forum?
How about Johnsons KO of Ketchel after Ketch couldn't help himself and knocked Jack down. I've read they found some of Stans teeth in Jacks glove. I know there was a big disparity in weight but still...ouch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78msYCUaQuE
No mate, it's 11.38am here this second. I stayed up last night till 2am as it was my Friday night. Few Crowns and Jimmy's.
It's Friday night for me now, but at least I have an excuse. I'm a poor old father stuck at home with the wife and baby. Sounds like you're in for a long day my friend, but hey, at least its Saturday. Hopfully you're not working. Any suggestions for on demand movie selections?
Nah, i got my 6.5 hours sleep and played the Golf comp all arvey. No drama tho i'm a bit worn out now. Nothing dramatic tho, 7km walks in the sun do that lol. Have a nice warm bath directly then some slow Jimmy's.
:verysadI'm very sorry. (On Father's Day and Mother's Day, and my parent's wedding anniversaries, I send them sympathy cards, and celebrate being single and childless.)
Julian Jackson is a favorite of mine because he is a classic example of a purist. He is unique in that he had the magical ability to score those classic one punch ko's. Many other greats in the history of boxing were famous for their fight ending power, and the list is too great to even start, but Jackson is one of a handful that were really SPECIAL, in that he had the gift of ending it with JUST ONE SHOT!! Danny "Little Red" Lopez was another one with this gift, of more or less the same era, who I loved to watch, because you could sense a special magic that could occur at any time, but Jackson, I think, was the all time master of this particular gift.
