    At 175, I'm pretty sure the unanimous choice would be Spinks....who wins at heavy?

    Spinks does, by knockout. Rumors of Moorer actually being good at heavyweight turned out to be false.

    Moorer was a beast at 175, but Spinks would have kicked his ass and knocked him out.

    Moorer didn't beat anyone at 175.

    Good matchup actually. Many people will be tempted to suggest that Spinks stops him, due to Moorer's chinny chin chin at heavyweight. I don't subscribe to that view. Spinks may have KOed Tangstaad and Cooney...but those guys were useless by the time Spinks fought them...and were just target practice. Spinks didn't hit hard at heavyweight.

    I think it goes the distance with Spinks winning a close decision.

    A 45-year-old man who'd shown virtually no power in his second career stopped Moorer with one punch. Chin isn't Moorer's main problem; it's stupidity. Even with Teddy Atlas, he'd probably be walking into that overhand right all night. As far as intelligence goes, Moorer was the Slystaff of heavyweight champions.

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you've seen more fights than me and you know more boxing history than me, but more intelligent than me? Don't kid yourself.

    Aren't you the same dude that wants to talk about horses in 99% of the responses to my posts?

    In any event, that 45 year old Heavyweight punched significantly harder than Michael Spinks. I remember Larry Holmes talking about being able to take any spinks' punch all night like they were nothing..and larry was 37 or so at the time.

    Based on what? Who did Foreman knock out in his second career besides Moorer? Gerry Cooney, again? :lol:
    Your posts don't deserve anything better, for the most part. Do you see me doing the same thing to other posters? No. I post about horses in responding to your tripe because you're considerably more stupid than nearly everyone else in this forum, including Jaws, IandI and Petre.

    Please.

    I doubt that you think I'm stupid...because one thing I'm not, is that. You just disagree with my opinions on certain fights...can't handle me in a debate..and so you fall back on this petty "Horse" and "Stupid" drivel.

    Plus I think I hurt your feelings when I mentioned your brain damage and the tubes in your ass. But don't blame me for that...you're the one who enlightened us!

    If my health problems were an embarassment to me, I wouldn't have mentioned them, and unlike you, I never had a tube coming out of my ass. And I don't see the point of debating anything relating to boxing with you. You give no research or thought to your posts, you're a nuthugger, and yes, I do think that you're quite stupid.

    For instance, who did Foreman knock out (besides Moorer) in his second career that makes you think he hit harder than Spinks?

    Firstly..you and I both know that you don't think I'm stupid. For one thing my intelligence is significantly superior to your own, not just outside of boxing..but also when it comes to analyzing fights.

    But you can keep pretending that you believe otherwize if it makes you feel as though you have an advantage.

    But that aside...

    If you think that Michael Spinks at heavyweight, hit harder than Foreman at any stage of his career...we have nothing further to discuss, and ironically you'd be proving your idiocy.

    I didn't say that Michael Spinks hit harder than George Foreman. I simply asked you who Foreman knocked out in his second career that makes you think he hits harder than Michael Spinks. Your inability to back up such a basic point is evidence that you are quite stupid. I can't imagine why someone would think you would even have middling intelligence.

    If you agree that Foreman hit harder...then WHAT ARE YOU ARGUING FOR?

    I didn't say that I agree that Foreman hit harder. I'm merely asking you why you believe that Foreman hit harder. Even Jaws would've figured out what I was talking about by now. You are dumber than Jaws.

    Dude....

    You're not saying Foreman hit harder, your not saying Spinks hit harder. You're not offering an opinion on this matter...even though you decided to take issue with it.

    I'm not going to attempt to prove to you that Foreman hit harder than Spinks...when you wont even man up and take a position.

    I'm keeping an open mind. Perhaps Foreman hits harder, but I don't know why you think he hits "considerably" harder, given that Foreman had no notable knockouts outside of the Moorer fight in his second career.

    And if you don't answer, I'm going to go back to posting pictures of horses.

    Don't let me stop you posting horses. It seems to make you happy.

    In any event..when looking at someone's punching power..it's not just about WHO they KOed it's also about the manner in which they KOed the persons.

    Both Holyfield and Ruddock koed Dokes for example. However Holyfield seemed the get the KO from attrition whereas Ruddock merely short circuited the man with the left hookercut.

    Very few people would attempt to debate who hit harder between Holyfield and Ruddock..merely based on their respective quality of KO'd opposition.

    It seems quite apparent that Razor was the harder puncher, unless of course you disagree with this?

    What does that have to do with Foreman and Spinks? Do you really think Michael Spinks at heavyweight would've had trouble knocking out Tommy Morrison?
