Here would be a better post topic.Could just one time somebody makes a post and have a clue to what they are talking about?Baer isn't any where near as skilled as Foreman.Look at the 2 fighters too beat a prime Foreman and then look at the first 2 guys to beat Baer.Over 20 men went the distance with Baer while only 8 of Foremans wins wern't by knockout which ment Foreman was alot harder puncher not to mention fighters in Baer's time wore smaller gloves and Foreman fought tougher opponents.
The fight would be similar too Foreman Lyle?Really why would you even think this?Baer was knocked out many times in his career punchers who had less pop than Foreman.Joe Louis who was probably the best fighter Baer fought beat him with ease.Louis himself is overrated fighting bum after bum after bum only fighter 2 black men in his whole career and neither of them would be considered heavweights today.
Foreman also had one of the best chins in boxing history.Don't use the Lyle fight to show he could be down.Lyle could **** no doubt about it but do you really think Lyle punched harder than lets say Shannon Briggs who Foreman fought 20 years later?Briggs landed some bombs but they had no effect so he ran.Foreman was knocked down by Lyle probably because he was rusty and his ego had been destroyed by losing to Ali.
The myth about Foreman being a poor boxer always cracks me up.Nobody in Foreman's prime out boxed him.If Foreman was really that bad of a boxer with horrible stamina wouldn't he of had more than 2 loses in his prime?Wouldn't it have been easy for just anybody to stick and move and tire him out?The only punch Foreman threw wild was the hook but most 6'4 or taller heavyweights throw wild or slow hooks.Lewis,Ali and Holmes didn't really have good hooks either.Infact all of their best punches were the right hand or uppercut just like Foreman.
I can't picture any way Baer could even go 2 rounds would Foreman never mind winning.
