    you have to remember that its much easier to knock down a tired fighter than it is a fresh one. Foreman was exhausted just like he was against ali. He was a much different fighter than he was in his 2nd career due to the fact that he learned to pace himself and not always go for the ko.

    The most exhausted I ever saw Foreman during his comeback career was against Stewart on HBO back in 1992. Foreman was not well trained for that fight and took Stewart lightly. That almost proved to be a big mistake, too... But I still gave Foreman the nod after 10 action-packed rds that won the 1992 "Blood Bath" award from either Ring or KO magazine...

    I already know all of this. I realize that young had underrated power, very decent pop at that, but was no power puncher. That was just me being a troll.
