    For starters, it was Mike Tyson and not Michael Moorer or 94 Foreman.

    No moron, you don’t get off that easily.

    If size matters, as you keep saying, why did Mike Tyson destroy a couple of dozen guys who were significantly bigger than him?

    Any version of Foreman hit harder than Tyson.

    Say what you want about Joyce but his chin is not suspect. You don't take fully loaded up overhands from heavyweights without blinking if your chin is suspect (Parker, Hammer, Dubois), regardless of quality of opponent. It's just that Zhang hits really hard. And even in the first fight Joyce withstood so many clean shots from Zhang.

    But not the '92 version that fought Holyfield.

    He got iced repeatedly as an amateur. This fact has been documented on here in great detail.

    His chin is suspect.

    Fk off idiotboy.

    Onto ignore you go. You have no interest in legitimate debate. I know this because you keep avoiding legitimate questions that people ask you.

    I’ve got better things to do with my time that argue with the village idiot.

    Adios clown.

    You seem a little perturbed. Comparing 94 Foreman to Mike Tyson isn’t legitimate debate, my insecure friend.

    Idk why people don't have the usual suspects on ignore. I lurked on this forum for a long time before I made my account and after I did I put the people that are clearly insane on ignore immediately lol.

    I can't see their names obviously but when I see them get name dropped it's always the people I already have on my ignore list making trouble!

    Fair point, but it work both ways. Have people really seen enough of Chang to vote Foreman by KO? He didn't KO many contenders in the whole of the 90s and most of these fights went the distance. Yet 12 posters have voted for this- based on, what?

    I'd say they are going with the guy they personally see as more proven and/or aren't sold on Big Bang at this point. They probably think of Joyce as a face first plodder with zero adaptability and little skill.

    I possibly should have put it in my first post but in follow ups i made the point that loads of people now see him as a fave over Fury, a big fave with some. That was the crux of my thoughts per thrusting people so high so fast. I find that a HUGE call and not overly logical but we see this on a pretty common basis nowadays. A couple of fights ago people were raving about Joyce and his prospects and didn't that fall flat. Man some people went quiet for a while after Ruiz, looking fit to take on a sumo, flattened Joshua. I wasn't commenting per Zhang getting a classic forum match against Foreman and i had barely even looked at the poll.

    That's fine but by KO? Not a great deal of evidence based on what actually happened in the 1990s. Like I said, most of his fights vs top 10 rankers tended to go the distance.


    Agree, this is ridiculous. Fury is a big favourite for this.

    Yes, this was puzzling. The man always looked tough but totally limited.

    I voted Chang, purely as a 'this is as silly as voting Foreman KO at this stage' vote.

    You will notice i haven't voted. It's a tough one at this stage and another fight or two will make it easier, surely.

    I had a feeling you were doing the BOOM vote!!!!!
