Originally posted by The Surgeon View PostI heard that too, heard alot of others say it too but i personally dont see it and agree with Steak, George looks like he just follows u around for the most part
Joe Fraizer and Sonny Liston followed fighters around alot also. But they are both very good at cutting off the ring when they do, kind of like Foreman.

Kostya Tszyu wasnt half bad either or Tony Ayala...
I think my top 5 would be something like this tho
Chavez
Armstrong
Frazier
Duran
Pryor (I was seriously tempted to throw Miguel Cotto in here i rate his ability to cut off the ring that highly)

Originally posted by Steak View Posthuh? Foreman? His inability to cut off the ring was one of the major reasons he lost to Jimmy Young. Foreman followed you around too much, thats not cutting off the ring.
Chavez takes the cake here. as well as Armstrong.
Ill throw Dwight Muhammad Qawi out there too.

Originally posted by Marcov View PostDo you think Ali's rope a dope was a pre planned strategy? Ali trained an prepared to move like he did against Liston. Foreman gave Ali no choice and completely cut the ring off forcing Ali to the ropes. You must have been thinking about the come backing Foreman.

Foreman's ability to cut off the ring, forced Ali into rope-a-dope.
