    Jersey Joe Walcott was originally the oldest champion in heavyweight history at 37 a title later passed to Big George at the age of 45. Who do you feel had the more impressive title winning ko between the two oldest champs? Walcott's ko of Ezzard Charles or Foreman's ko of Micheal Moore?

    Walcott because Ezzard was one of the best and it was a one-punch KO that would have stopped anyone. Foreman's right hand was an accumulation right hand that Big George was landing quite a bit then the pinata busted. I also do not rate Moorer as high as Ezzard as an ATG

    Well this is a good point and one I felt the same way about considering the resume and ability of both fighters and Charles ranks above Moore in that aspect
    :deal. That was a sneaky punch that has caught the likes of Joe Louis 3 times (2 in their first fight and 1 in their second) and dropped Marciano for the first time in his career where as how you said it the Moore ko was more of accumulation shots especially catching up to Moore rather than sneaking in the punch like Walcott did to Charles
