    Ok i say they were loose like bungee cords - you say they were ok, we will agree to disagree.

    Where do you rate Foreman?

    I rate him #2 ATG at Heavy And #1 H2H.

    As I've said,I rate George the number 4 heavy of all time. Only Ali,Louis,and Holmes (In that order) above him. Even though I vote Louis as the second best,overall,I'd still back George to beat him. A stylistic thing. I'd start off Holmes as favourite against George,but one right hand could change that.

    I'm serious, I think Foreman Hook has old and prime Foreman ranked 1 and 2, respectively. Everybody else is a distant third.
