    Miroshnichenko stopped Purrity who stopped Wlad who stopped Mercer who stopped Morrison who beat, you guessed it, George Foreman.

    Maskaev got beat by McCall, who got beat by Douglas, who got beat by Holyfield, who got beat by Moorer, who got beat by Foreman. :detenido:
    We already told you that Puritty was in no way the same fighter, unless you want to say that Oleg Maskaev is inferior 12-16-3 Joey Christjohn because McCall lost to him early on in his career.
    You keep avoiding the question of, "Who did Chenko beat in his pro career to make him a better win than Peralta, Chuvalo, or even O' Halloran", because the answer is that there is NOBODY he beat that makes him a better win than for Maskaev than any of these men were for Foreman.
    You keep making yourself look worse every time you resort to this dumb logic instead of facing the facts.

    Umm, Oleg beat Rahman who beat Lewis who beat Holyfield who beat Foreman. Doesn’t work the way you want it to, pal.

    Once again, ignoring everything I said other than me copying your insane line of logic.

    He wasn't league's above them. Tua punched extremely hard. Don't know he punched harder than Foreman but he wasn't "leagues" below him if he didn't.

    Yeah most of those numbers are bro stats. I don't believe them for a second. Rahman was strong for sure though even if he could "only" bench 400 which is also probably an exaggeration. And how do we know if he didn't have help like that Wilder bench where his spotters were practically lifting the weight for him and he looked like he was about to tears his arms out of their sockets?

    Foreman had good dynamic strength like a wrestler versus Rahmans static strength in one direction. The first one is obviously more useful for fighting.

    They punched hard, but they weren't Foreman- Which is no insult.

    I think Tua should be in the discussion. The others no.

    Tua's the only one that's been name checked by other men of the era when it comes to hard punchers to be fair- Michael Moorer said that he was hardest punching man he ever fought, but I think he just got the worst from Tua because of how many people he'd been roughed up by at that point. His durability and chin got weaker over time.
