    Is anyone turned off by Yuri Foreman's passive demeanor?

    As has been reported, Foreman is training to be a rabbi. He says that he justifies the conflict of interest by not trying to hurt his opponents and just going for the KO. In a brutal fight where you need to hurt your opponent to win, like a life and death struggle type of affair, I wonder what his instincts will be given his strict adherence to faith. Does anyone else feel those same kind of questions?

      He is about as promotable as Calzaghe. Not at all. Nothing to him.

            Calzaghe is a very exciting fighter, P4PKING 2008. Watch some of his fights - try Mitchell or Sheika vs. Joe. There's a reason he draws over 50,000 fans in Wales at 2 am.

            I enjoy watching Foreman because he has world-class skills. Some people want to see KOs - he usually wins by decisions, so they don't like it. Different strokes for different folks.

            He won the fight last night with so much skill and intelligence, I was entertained by it.

              To be honest, I think that those excuses using the Rabbinical laws are a crock of ****. I've seen him sit down on his punches against Thompson, Tsurkan, and now Roman. He just doesn't have that pop behind it.
