    Hunter outboxed a 40 year old Povetkin last night, I feel he looked sloppy but would have outsped Foreman from the 80`s, could he do what Moorer couldn`t though against the Foreman that beat Cooney?

    No. Moorer was clearly better boxer and harder puncher than Hunter, still got KO'd. And that was 45 y.o. Foreman in that fight.

    Big George at 40 had no problems stopping Cooney, Rodrigues and Cooper in early rounds. I think he overwhelms Hunter and stops him

    Hunter moves more than those fighters, they were right in front of George, Povetkin is a better counter puncher than Foreman was and had bad trouble catching Hunter.
