    Two great champions! One a power puncher and the other very durable. Could Braddock upset Foreman like Max Baer???

    Klompton this threads for you!

    Braddock has a chance in this one. Great chin, great endurance, great right that decked Louis. George was suceptible to rights. Jim would also have a big edge in experience at their primes, having fought many more times.

    Braddock had a decent right, but it was nothing to get excited about!

    I seem to remember Jimmy Young, a powder puncher, decking Foreman. Braddock has a chance of coming out a winner.

    Young dropped a near exhausted Foreman for a no count, Foreman walked right into the punch.

    Want to speculate on what the odds would be for The Cinderella Man dropping Foreman?

    Foreman stuck his chin out to Young and said "Say chap, why don't you hit me square right here, see?"

    Would Braddock get that same opportunity? I don't think so.
