Corrie Sanders: Greatest potential ever?

[markosg19]

I see quite alot of fighters go down on body shots, have you seen the De La Hoya vs Hopkins fight, or Gatti vs Dorin.
half of Foreman's knockouts were on body shots.

half of foremans knockouts were on body shots!!!!!!! What a rediculous statement......how many of his fights have you actually seen pal?

[The Troll]

i said HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHTERS!!!!! tell me a good fighter that foreman knocked out with a body shot????

Bruno beat oliver Mcall for the heavyweight title.......lets put that into context!!! Have you seen that fight....cause i have (i bet you haven't) go and watch it and tell me why you think Bruno is a good fighter!!!! He was a bum.

And Larry Holmes fought for another 15 years, true but was well past his prime even when he fought tyson and its not like he won any significant fights aftet that (apart from ray mercer)!!!

Watch a George Foreman highlight film, half his knockouts are on body shots, the big punchers like Foreman and Tyson get alot of knockouts to the body. How is it any less valid anyway if Tyson knocked Spinx down on a body shot rather than a head pucnh. Tyson also knocked out Steve Zouski with a combo to the body, thats one example I can think of off the top of my head.

That is bull****.....tell me names!!!! No good Heavyweight has ever been knocked out from a bodyshot!!! Anyone can knock a bum out with a bodyshot (even frank bruno)

So Oliver McCall is no good bum too just like Razor Ruddock and Holmes, he is a bumb but he knocked out Lennox Lewis, and would have likely dont it again if he did not have mental problems.

Sorry actually Steve Zouski was a really good fighter......i retract all my statements! ****in hell........

[Raymo]

Bruno a good fighter!!! Please! he was a bum who should have quit boxing and stuck to beating his wife and thinking he's frankie dettori.

I have to ask who in your mind is not a bumb since to you Tyson is a bumb, Oliver McCall is bumb, Frank Bruno is a bumb, Razor Ruddock is a bumb, Holmes is a bumb. So you have to be undisputed champion and make 20 defences not to be a bumb in your mind. So the only non bumb who ever lived was Joe Louis.

[markosg19]

He landed one punch against lewis and the fight was stopped prematurely (watch the hbo coverage). Who did he beat aside from lewis.......oh sorry larry holmes. Razor ruddock was knocked out by tommy morrison (for god's sake) and lennox lewis.

Bruno a good fighter!!! Please! he was a bum who should have quit boxing and stuck to beating his wife and thinking he's frankie dettori.

let me remind you guys that frank bruno was giving lennox lewis a hard time for 7 rounds, two of the judges had it a draw and the other had bruno up, the guy had skills, he just had a bad chin, and folded quickly under pressure, but he was no bum

[markosg19]

I never said Tyson was a bum, read the threads...... Tyson is an all time great. I am just saying he possibly fullfilled his potential. It is well established that aside from now the 80s heavyweights were the wrost ever. I never said Larry holmes was a bum!. He was well past his prime when he fought spinks the first time let alone tyson......

The reason that there were so many title holders in that era is because they were all equally bad and tyson ultimately beat them because he was at a different level to all of them.
