Which win was better ? BHop's or Big George's ?

it is true that a heavyweight winning at 45 is not as impressive as at 175 where you have to make weight and fight other guys who are in supreme shape. The weight limit makes that task much harder. I doubt we will ever have a none heavyweight beat Hopkins record, but we might have a heavyweight beat it again.

 

agreed. more than likely it'd be a heavyweight to beat the record but my point is that pascal is not very good. with that said, all credit to bhop

 

Speak the truth brother. Anyone who fights Hopkins seems to become **** fighters huh?

I'll go with Hopkins. He actually beat Pascal via superior skill. Foreman was getting pummelled for almost every second until he landed that one punch. Not skill but based on one punch.

 

Michael Moorer > Jean Pascal.

However...George was down on the cards and fortunate to land a come-from-behind win with a 1-2 on the sweet spot.

Hopkins' pulling away from an early hole to dominate made for the better overall performance (albeit against a lesser opponent).

 

Dawson was having some serious managerial and personal problems going into that fight. Hes supposedly a spend all too and he was broke and owing people. I dont think he was even into that fight. Hopefully Steward will get Shaw out of the picture in the process of getting Dawson back on track.

 

Yes Foreman was behind on the cards, but Foreman fought like an old school vet. He was not concerned with points boxing, but landing effective solid blows. Foreman landed hard solid effective punches in each and every round of that fight. Yes Moorer hit him two to one, but Foreman's one was very heavy, and over time, those heavy blows can wear you down and leave you vulnerable to the knockout. I do not see Foreman's KO as a lucky punch so much as I see it as the product of attrition. Foreman landed thud after thud in round after round, and Moorer by not showing Foreman enough respect, remained in range, didn't move much, didn't move his head enough, and got caught way more than you should when in there with a huge guy with a naturally hard punch. Watch that fight again, very carefully, and you may see what I am saying. George landed some hellacious hooks, heavy thudding body shots, crisp straight rights, and heavy jabs, all of which seemed to have gone unnoticed because Moorer was outpointing him. Foreman's punches in that fight were like investments that eventually paid off while the commentators just watched the short term gains of Moorers blows.
