    3 out of the 8 top threads were just trolling nonsense, well done on making it 4 out of 9.

    That's your opinion.

    This is simply a head-to-head fantasy match-up, which is what this forum has been largely about for all the years I've been here. I'm not saying it's a great thread but it's on par. No troll.

    Feb 1990 Douglas v March 1974 Foreman, who wins ?

    George is an all time great heavyweight and usually on an ATG champions best night nobody beats him other than another ATG. Douglas won a great fight but was he a great fighter?

    Thing is, what is the better night for a champion, the night he wins a great fight or the night of his greatest performance?

    As good as George was in Caracas was he really getting hit back? It was a "great win" over the best opponent that year but for it to be a "great fight" two guys have to be landing punches.

    George has huge heart I'm not saying he can't take it. He can and will. But we all saw how he hated a double jab. Nobody can be quite their best with an authoritative jab in the face all night. George would close the space good though you can count on that. George was switched on but so was Douglas that one night.

    I'm just thinking if George never wanted Holmes why would he want the guy who for one night fought as good?


    What if the only two fights on film of those two were these two fights and we knew nothing else about them other than one beat Tyson and the other beat Norton?
    I think if we knew nothing about George and Douglas other than the two nights in question and took both fights on face value it's a 50-50.

    Tokyo Douglas is just a myth concocted by Tyson nuthuggers to explain why an average/mediocre fighter like Buster Douglas beat the **** out of Mike and knocked his ass out. Foreman by brutal KO1.

    Pokémon Douglas usually makes people ask that question, "am I dreaming or what?"
    That's exactly how people felt in 1990. :good
