    Then you never understood my argument in the first place. Which is very simple;
    Boxing hasn't evolved much in way of technique over the last 100 years.

    There are people throughout that history, such as Foreman, Baer, and Galento, and maybe now Wilder who exhibit crude, but effective tactics.

    Foreman had more skills than Baer and Galento put together.

    No that was the american bias as well but if you watch those fights he was indeed fouled, pretty brutally by broulliard. His bad rep was undeserved and was given to him by men who hadnt seen those fights and instead took the word of guys trying to save face after losing to him.

    I have to admit to being among that number.
