    I judge a man on his CHARACTER not his color. And you have WEAK character Larry, that's why you are always in and out of prison.

          I fully agree with this...

            Moorer was a much better fighter than Pascal. Pascal is a great athlete, but very sloppy at times. The Light heavyweight version of Moorer would have more than likely knocked out Pascal.

            Pascal has bad cardio, Moorer has a weak chin. Take your pick.

            Foreman's KO win was unexpected on paper and even more after watching the first nine rounds of taking a beating. Moorer fighting an old fighter for a big payday was the general perception of that fight.

            Pascal was surprisingly the betting favorite, considering many believing Hopkins won the first time around. However, the odds were close and Hopkins was clearly not the underdog that Foreman was.

            Hopkins went to war and proved he was the better boxer than Pascal. Close, action packed fight.

            Foreman's KO win was more spectacular to see and was a more impressive finish, but he was getting dominated. Moorer was clearly the better boxer. Not a close fight, but had a more decisive finish that was very surprising and became won of boxing's greatest moments.

            Both won titles that were not only legit, but lineal as well.

            I pick Foreman, but let's give Hopkins credit for setting a new record.

              Foreman by far. He could have given up or retired on his stool in that fight, he gutted it out and crushed Moorer in the 10th. Pascal is taylor made for a Hopkins. Bernard stays on his feet in the first fight and this fight probably doesnt happen. You get a guy with a high work rate, a welshman, he beats bernard.

              Side note: LHW Moorer starches Pascal, Dawson, and Hopkins on the same night, maybe the same round. Dude was a killer at LHW. Also, a lefty just like the last guy to beat Hopkins.

                Foreman knocked Moorer the **** out but Hopkins beat the **** out of Pascal and humiliated him for 12 rounds. I'm going to go with equally impressive.

                  Foreman, for sure.. he quit boxing and came back and knocked the champ out with an old man two piece... that was classic...nothing about benard hopkins win was classic, because he has never quit back, and pascal sucks...he was the newly crowned champ by unintenional head butt... Now if Hopkins puts them thangs on dawson, cloud and bute, then I might be impressed...

                    so it's not impressive because hopkins never quit the sport?? To me it's even more impressive he's fought 23 years straight without a break. The amount of dedication that takes is insane.

                    And it's not like foreman just quit and came right back and won the title, he had 30 fights prior to beating Moorer. He retired in 1977, came back in '87 and won the title in '94, losing to Holyfield and Tommy Morrison on the way. That's part of the reason he was a big underdog was he lost to Morrison the fight before Moorer.

                    Foreman fought for 8 years, then retired for 10 years, then came back and fought for 10 more years. He fought for a total of 18 years. Hopkins fought for 23 years straight without a break. Which is more impressive, who knows it doesn't matter as both are insanely impressive, just sayin

                      I would choose Foremans kayo but Hopkins victory is very special and something all boxing fans should treasure. You can all tell your grandchildren the night you seen an old man defy the odds. Great moment in sports and a shame that boxing is not a big sport anymore and Hopkins isn't getting his true respect for it.
