    Boxing math never works..Foreman would destroy Ali if it did

    Of course, but all the facts pointed to Foreman, and that's correct. If it didn't, it was either a coincidence or an extreme stylistic mismatch. Both things happen frequently in boxing.

    What do you choose in the cases of Tyson and Holmes?

    It's an okey stylistic match-up but Mike Tysons psychology is probably weak when he doesn't get His Quick knockout

    Spinks' tactic – wear him down first, but was that the only way?

    Again, unsubstantiated by the facts.
    Tyson didn't knock out Tucker, Biggs, Smith, or Ruddock quickly. That didn't stop him from winning any of them, and quite convincingly. Against Douglas, after seven terrible rounds, he had a great eighth. It's really not that simple.

    They Arent "great" fighters. Tucker hasn't beaten anyone.

    Wow, are you really that simple-minded? Who did Foreman beat before he treated Joe Frazier like a basketball? Peralta? Czepulis? I'm just saying that lasting the first three rounds with Tyson isn't the key to success. Larry had a good three rounds with Tyson, which suggests he wasn't rusty at all, but Tyson simply had him figured out. As the Buster fight showed, he could land a punch at any time. Even when he was being beaten and his opponent was dominating, not just trying to hold out for the first few rounds. It's kind of crazy that you keep repeating these platitudes.

    He's a troll. No need to answer him.
