    Not too many mentions of him on here! He's basically the Satterfield of the modern era. Awesome fighter too watch.

    Every shot that Marciano ever landed was harder than the shot that Jimmy Young put Foreman down with.

    That doesn't mean that Foreman is just going to crumble when Marciano hits him.

    Fighters get knocked down by the shots that they don't see coming, and putting a fighter down, does not mean that you are particularly close to knocking him out.

    Getting put down by a shot from a lesser puncher that you don't see coming, is no indicator that a shot from a heavier puncher will knock you out.

    Quite likely. Unless you believe the guy shook by Ted Lowry, and on the verge of a knockout against a guy who' had 63 wins out of 121 fights is going to "shake off" Foreman's punches as suggested by some.

    Rosario wasn't a welterweight either. I'm confused. And as soon as Foster lands anything other than a jab on Kovalev, his legs would go. This version of Kovalev has no durability.

    Foreman`s average shots were harder than Marciano`s average punch.

    Yes I lost focus on Rosario but I still think Kov can hurt a prime Foster.

    No I said Williams might get up more times,

    I voted for Norton to win to even up the score because your poll was ridiculously squewed to promote Williams over a top fighter. the only option you gave in the poll if you thought Norton would win was for williams to lose in the first round only.

    Big upset win for Foreman.

    proving it was a difficult result to forecast.

    Certainly plausible, but we don't really know.
