    Now I'm usually pretty laid back man, but that's a rather thorny topic for me, so I'll bow out before I post something I regret.

    This is the same guy who said he would've lost to FOTC Frazier, and has made a lot of other questionable claims. Are we gonna take his word on that as well?

    Erm, over people who simply watched and didn't experience the fights first hand. You know, I think I might...

    I'm not surprised. If Larry Holmes could beat Foreman in a firefight, imagine what FOTC Frazier would do.

    Gee, you're a real pleasant guy aren't you? We disagree on things, and that's cool, it really is. Enjoy your evening brother man, peace and love always, x

    We can use examples of what I’m talking about in virtually all fields, for what it’s worth. How about mechanics? They definitely know more than you or I about cars, but that isn’t all there is to the things they say, is there?

    Holmes was knocked down by a more powerful puncher, Earnie Shavers, and within a round was back in control. Same against Mike Weaver, Snipes.

    Foreman would floor him once, and Holmes would do exactly what he did with the other three: scrape himself up, gain control shortly after, and ultimately pummel the hell out of and stop him. Just my opinion.

    Shavers is no Foreman, to put it very mildly.

    In reality they are blind fans of Ruddock... or rather fans of a boxer who beat Ruddock!

    I completely agree.

    But Holmes is Holmes, to put it vehemently.

    All respect to your views, my friend. I was waiting for you to show up.

    Rudock could hit but he's no Foreman. That smash thing is going to work on this version of Smoke . The big man gets taken apart in about 8rnds
