    So who is it? 160 Roy Jones, 147 Floyd Mayweather? Old school guys; Henry Armstrong?

    I'd go as low as Welter, maybe the odd LW, like Ike, who was tall enough to get to him, so sure the od LW, but probably not any smaller!.

    On a more serious note Barbados Walcott (WW), Jack Blackburn (LW), Joe Gans (LW)...

    If this is a serious question (I have my doubts based upon the thread and I don't know the OP), I don't see anyone under the weight of LHW that could beat him legitimately....Perhaps I am wrong??? I would imagine quite a few from 175+ could beat him, I struggle to see any SMW/MW and under beating him...Perhaps they would make him look foolish, slow and inept at times, but ultimately he would be to strong for those under that weight IMHO!

    Barbados Joe Walcott would definitely whip him. Peter McNeeley was terrible, far worse than his father who was regularly beaten by light heavyweights.

    Funniest Commercial ever? Foreman vs 48 sliders
    from White Castle. I got Foreman KO 1.
    As for Mcneely, Hopkins at 175. Holy maybe
    at Cruiser
