      dempsey couldn't take out a prime foreman, its a style thing few swarmers would standa chance against foreman because they just cant get close

        Anyway, great boxer and a great guy!

        Highly recommended as he includes a lot of the finances and money men during his reign that influence fights as much as the fighters.

          The idea a swarmer could not get close to Foreman is faulty logic. For a prime ATG fighter like Dempsey he certainly would.

            If Ali and Young, the two best boxers Foreman ever faced beat him certainly prime Holmes also does so. In a 15 round fight there is no chance George sees the final bell.

              - -George ruined Ali for life and then lost a horrid political decision vs Young in a DKing promoted fight.

              King was already established as a dirty promoter that he would enhance thru his decades. When U lose the plot line?

              U aleady was mush on the AOL forums.

                Young clearly defeated Foreman on points knocking him down in round 12 to seal the deal. Decision was not controversial.

                  Ali had his greatest fight after he knocked out George. His 14th round ko over Frazier is the fight that lifted him into the top of ATG rankings.
