    Haha you watched Foreman in his prime then, they throw more straight shots, they got better defence, not just hit and get hit back

    George Foreman is a brawler though, what about guys like Holmes, Ali, Holyfield, Tyson.

    I left Vitali out and Foreman, amazing but that was due to competition and successful fights.
