4 rounders

Imagine a Heavyweight tournament of just 4 round fights... Who would win it?

I think Tyson is usually overrated for many reasons which I point out in threads on this site but I think this would really suit him. I think the favourite would be Foreman, with Tyson, Dempsey and Louis not far behind. I think Baer would also fair better in this tournament than usual. The stamina guys like Rocky, Frazier, Holmes, Jeffries and Norton might all under perform.

That's a concept... I wonder how guys like...memory don't fail me...Bob Satterfield or Shavers and other big punching fast starting heavies would fare? I think that Baer would be the guy to watch, however.

Joe Frazier may have stuggled as he was sometimes a slow starter even Ali hurt him early in there rematch but the ref screwed up and Ali couln't take advantage.

Smokin' Joe would have to really warm up in the dressing room to be effective in a 4 round fight.
