    Seriously ? Ali would humiliate Old Foreman. It would be a low risk fight and he'd just use the ring because Foremans feet and hands were even slower than in his prime. His defense wasn't even better in the 90s, that's a complete myth.

    Give it a couple of days. Posters will be arguing George actually won.

    Old Foreman got schooled by Tommy Morrison. There is no way he was a better fighter, i find the opinion completely asinine.

    Posters here still refuse to accept that a declining fat Foreman who took a decade out the ring could compete with some top guys in the 90s because he was that good. It's a pretty strange and frankly a silly agenda to suggest middle aged Foreman with 30 pounds of fat getting beat up by Alex Stewart, Schulz and running it close with Saveres was a H2H better fighter than the guy who dominated Norton and Frazier

    I notice a trend here sometimes. Discussions start off well mannered and informative and end up getting quite impolite. Shame, such a good forum generally. I'll bow out of this discussion as I can see what way it's heading, and that's a train I'd rather disembark...

    You think 76 Jabs + 191 power punches equals 195 Total punches landed on Compubox (note the 2nd letter is an O)? Does Compubox defy the very essence of simple Mathematics then?

    Typing 191 instead of 119 is an easy mistake to make. Doubling down on it when corrected though.........

    People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, sunshine.

    Just a guess Greg, but I think cumpubox might keep tally of something different altogether.

    Frequent viewers of a certain hub might be able to enlighten us on that possibility. :confused:

    A most impressive Freudian slip.

    Prime Foreman would have mutilated Morrison and Stewart.

    Did we reach the point where posters are arguing he actually beat Evander?
