Foreman had more power than Peter and Wlad and Vitali. Better chin than Peter as well. Foreman is an all time great. He would kill Sam Peter in 5 rounds. He would kill Wlad Klitschko in 3 rounds and score a late TKO over Vitali. Foreman was one of the greatest. Only Ali could beat prime Foreman.

I know a lot is made of the old champs like Foreman but if we look at the following attributes.

Power - Equal
Speed - Equal
Chin - Edge to Peter
Skill - Edge to Foreman
Chin - Probably Equal
Resume - Edge to Foreman

We can see there is not a lot to seperate them. If Foreman was in his prime today he would be another Peter/Areolla type and get KO'd by the Klitschko brothers.

^^^^This^^^^Before I got the internet, I was only able to watch a handful of Marciano fights which my grandpa had converted to VHS back in the late 70s. Same goes for Louis, Charles, Robinson, Liston, Patterson and Ali Foreman, Frazier and granddads favorite Ronny Lyle.
I grew up in a S Chicago house where boxing was what you watched. Every big fight was a family reunion, and the VHS tapes are literally filling my front closet to this date. (My wife pissed and moans about it b/c she had her childhood videos combined onto ONE dvd...... and I got a closet full of old fight footage and a shelf full of DVDs of fights from the 90s and 00s till present.)

Anyhoo.....Now that I'm online, I can go and watch any old fight there is, and going back, watching the Louis fights, or the Charles' fights or the old Liston fights, especially Patterson, you can see that Liston was a CRUDE as they come slugger. Technician type counterpunchers like Holyfield(prime) and Haye would destroy the likes of the Ezzard Charles's and the Marcianos and Louis's of the HW division.

Sadly though for many, they are blinded by their hatred for anything new, and refuse to accept the greatness of boxing since guys like Ray Leonard and Diwght Qwari, and Evander Holyfield transformed the sweet science into a painful art exhibit.

Wow, all those years of watching boxing and you still don't know **** . . . you should donate your brain to science when you are gone.

Earl-Hickey usually embarrasses himself daily, but this takes the cake. Outdone himself this time. ^

I can now add Earl-Hickey to the 'worst posters on ESB' list along with Bubby, Manning, Silencer, Bremen, Bretchko, Grouche, Blackwall, Timeout, etc. I can't wait for the Klitschko sisters to retire, this **** is getting stupid.

This version of Peter mauls Jack Johnson and retires the old codger.
