I missed this one.

A 6'9" dad bod gypsy isn't going to win over the public imagination like this beast did

Of course you conveniently forgot he had the highest KO rate for a heavyweight champion that time.
And the man he ko'd was Joe Fkkn Frazier.

How many great wins did Marciano have ?
Jack Johnson ?

Oh don't worry, I take a much harsher view with the likes of Marciano. After Ali, I consider him to be the second most overrated fighter in history. His weight class was so devoid of any talent, he had to fight past their best Lightheavies. And they were tough, gruelling fights for a natural Heavy and in his prime. Foreman was much better and more proven. In a H2H fight, Foreman crushes Marciano in 1 round. Absolutely destroys him.

How many tickets has Fury vs Schwarz sold so far?

Bob is admitting that he really doesn't know how to promote Tyson Fury. He thinks he can build him into becoming this TV personality.

You want me to list a load of names? Try any fighter that has more than a few good wins.

Go ahead.
Name these MANY great fighters .
Let's see how many of them would have survived George .

Only one man beat George in his prime. His name was Muhammad Ali. And he did not exactly win easily. You can probably name less than 5 people who have survived that beating from George .

I've already told you, any fighter who has more than a few good wins. I'm not going to sit here and list hundreds of fighters. Use common sense if you want the answer.

Are you forgetting Young dominated George and dropped him even though he can't punch for shlt?
