    It is discussing boxing, per the facts, applied logic and consistency - the very features that bring you down every time.

    If you take that personally, then that’s your problem. Now stop sooking already.

    So I changed my opinion after 4 years? :lol: that's the contradiction? OK cool. Puggles I think you've got our lines confused, it's typically you guys shouting everybody down as trolls and having an agenda.

    Sooo... quoting me from near half a decade ago instead of debating this match up wasn't personal? just super relevant to this thread? cuckoo :confused:

    True Men never change their minds. I still lack object permanence and concrete operational thinking.

    The funniest part is, he had the audacity to call Janitor silly for repeating the same post that he (or rather his permabanned alt) agreed with four years ago.

    Quoting my own post to clarify, I am saying he can (is able to) beat 70's George Foreman, but I believe Foreman would win 4 out of 7 times, because Evander was not always disciplined enough to maintain the right style (at all times) against George.

    Excellent way to put it. Holyfield very well may have the tools to win more times than not, but would neglect said tools more times than not.

    It’s always nice to have someone with Pom Poms cheering for you from the sidelines.

    Give me a “J”, give me an “O”, …… :lol:

    Well if he is at a fictional best he'd be maintaining the plan, so really in a once off he'd win. In the real world where Holyfield may underestimate him? not have had the best camp? tries something flashy or can't be bothered / takes it personal because of a press conference or whatever well that's another discussion and goes both ways.

    Mate one post later and you're already contradicting yourself :biggrin:

    @cross_trainer don't trust this guy to debate, not very consistent this one.
