How was Spinks power at heavyweight

He'd buy the forum and make an anti Foreman section. Pro Foreman posts (in any forum section) would be deleted and permabans thrust quickly into place.

 

Nobody is following you. Don't flatter yourself. You're not that important. If you didn't have your head stuck up Foreman's ass, you would've realized I was in this thread before you.

I have zero idea what Lyle has to do with anything. Or does your obsession with Foreman extend to his opponents as well?

 

Bold of you to assume, he'd merely make a section, anti Foreman. ESB's official icon would be a picture of Foreman with an X written all over him

 

Holmes was probably a 7 out of 10 chin? Maybe an 8? But he had 9.5/10 recovery (I only don’t give him a 10 because of Holyfield and Fury, both of whom seem a shade better there).

point being, an inability to hurt him doesn’t mean much.

 

Joe Louis was another with great recovery.

 

good point. Also, Muhammad Ali (of course). Although he eventually became so hard to hurt in the first place that I didn’t bother ranking him.

 

Fair, very fair.

 

He hit hard enough. And that will always be enough when you have a skill set like Mike did.

 

I could already buy it.

 

Ha, ha, ha. Classic.

Good one mate.

 

He never even rocked Holmes from memory. And Holmes could.be hurt, even though he had remarkable powers of recovery.

Against Cooney it seemed more about precision and putting the punches together than pure power.

But, as others have said, he had enough to make a top HW like.Holmes.at least respect it. Foster didn't really manage that at HW.

 

You should check out Vic Darchinyan if you really want to see a guy who is incredibly awkward. He threw every punch in ways you would never teach a fighter to do so. He constantly leaped in with wide, looping punches out of a crouch and even his jab was a bit crooked. Bizarre little fighter. Good fun to watch though, mind you.
