    When people made fun of you and your threads, I thought people were harsh with you Tunney, but you actually are delusional

        Foreman. For sure. Without a shadow of a doubt. Back then Foreman was given zero to no chance to win this fight. However people still wanted Foreman to win to the point that sympathetic money was coming in by the thousands and the odds went from nearly 16-1 to 2-1 because so many people believed in Foreman. That's how much Foreman was loved by the public but realistically no one from the media gave him a chance, everyone said he was a old washed up fighter that's been fed to the future which was Moorer with Atlas at the time. Most of the public thought that aswell but they still loved Foreman. That's why when Foreman knocked out Moorer not only was it one of the greatest upsets in the history of boxing but one of the most memorable moments of all time.

        Sadly, Pascal doesn't have anywhere near the talent of Moorer and Hopkins was the favorite this time around. It's a great accomplishment indeed for Hopkins, especially at his age becoming the oldest champion in the sport by beating the top guy, but Foreman knocking out Moorer was a far bigger deal IMO.

          LMAO another hate thread by Tunney. Trying his HARDEST to get Hopkins to lose a poll so he can get a cheap thrill.

          They are almost equally impressive but I'd say Hopkins just because he didn't have to land one lucky punch, he took Pascal too school at an even older age TWICE.

            hopkins was pretty dominant for the last 19 rounds against pascal, big george was getting outclassed by moorer before he landed that bomb.

            for that, I rank um even cuz george was coming off an l to tommy and supposed to lose.

                  Hopkins was more impressive. Foreman was getting dominated and lost just about ever round to Moore. To this day Moore says Foreman got lucky. You can't say Hopkins got lucky because he did it twice in his opponents backyard.

                  And to all the people who keep saying Moore was so much better than Pascal, Moore also had a weak chin and it was known at that time. Pascal has never even been knocked down. So to penalize Hopkins for not knocking him out is silly.
