    Foreman by far!!! not to take away from what B-Hope did but Pascal to me is not a good fighter at all, he is a C+ fighter at best IMO! he was hyped up cause he beat Dawson on a off night in which Pascal was damn there got KO'd in that fight by Dawson. I expected Bernard to win but i did not expect Foreman to KO Moore at all.

      Hopkins was actually competing in a give and take fight, where as Foreman got a lucky punch.

      Both are great accomplishments.

        Foreman and it's not even close. It isn't even fair to say Hopkins because of how dominant Moorer was for the most part, Foreman knocked him out and Moorer> Pascal. Still, B-hop's win is impressive considering his age and the fact that he faced adversity getting hurt and stunned a few times, more hurt than we've ever seen too.

          foreman got dominate for the whole fight till he landed hopkins does not have the knock out punch so he had to use conditioning to out box pascal

          hopkins was way more impressive

            Yes.

            Big George accomplished it in an impressive way, using his legendary punching power. He never needed to resort to cheating and fouling.

            George Foreman is a classy guy.

              The significance of the title won is what separates the two for me and gives the nod to Foreman. Foreman's win (by KO) was for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. He beat the man who beat the man and in doing so, he won the biggest title in all of sports, or at least it still was at the time. Pascal, though a good fighter, was a champion who claimed a vacant title, and had been anointed "Champion" by the editorial board of a magazine.

                Well Tunney, Pascal did more of the fouling so I'm not getting that. Fighting dirty will forever be a part of boxing. Just gotta accept that.

                  No, Pascal didn't.

                  It was B-Hop's sneaky thumb to Pascal's eye that turned the fight in his favor. Up until that time, Pascal was doing well.
