What's so great about George Foreman?

[hugh grant]

As boxing is about opinions. Foreman could be candidate for GOAT

[Ascended]

Frazier was never the same fighter after the first Ali fight, against George he just ran directly into George's power shots, it was what it was.

Yea and people give respect to george for that match like it was impressive anybody knows joe would have gave a way tougher match had it been the real ver

Well, people can say he won title at 44 years of age, so has done things others havent. I didnt say he was, but im sure many think he is.

- - Ali was far more damaged than Frazier who had to fight with half an eye after Mercante poked his only good eye. If Ali had been any good, that's who George woulda fought for his first title match.

U ain't never been the same since U was hatched.

Get in the ring with him, and see if you can land on him, or take his punch, then get back to us.

Like Wilder, he excelled even though he was very limited.

This, hes like wilder except was 2 times lineal champion and gold medalist. He had power in both hands and an uppercut and body attack so a bit more variety than wilder. If he ****** so bad and was so easy to beat then all these guys wouldnt have been knocked out. I mean he won both lineal championships and the gold medal by KO. If he was so slow and chitty then tell those champs to just not get hit and box to an easy decision.

I dont know that anyone ever had an "easy" fight with george where they werent hurting even when they won

[JakeTheBoxer]

Special is, he was able to win a world title twice 20 years apart.

Otherwise, he is smaller version of Joyce.

In the Foreman/Ali fight, The Rumble in the Jungle, they showed the look on Ali's face after about the 3rd or 4th round of tangling with prime, undefeated Foreman.
He had that look like wtf am I doing here. I should be home.

People's perceptions can be off.

Carl Froch was faster and more difficult to box, than a lot of people make out.

George Foreman hit everyone he stepped inside the ring with, whether that be with a jab, back hand, hooks or body punches.

He was naturally incredibly very strong, maybe one of the strongest heavyweights of all-times. Natural strength, that cannot be duplicated in a gym than transferred to the ring.

His durability and recuperative powers, were off the charts. And he was extremely heavy handed, every punch was going to impact the fight.

People must remember he was fighting during a time, when heavyweights could move and process at the speed of Middle-weights. I think this makes him appear slow in comparison. But if you was a fighter inside the ring with him, maybe you would realize that this was not the case entirely.

No point in comparing Foreman to today's heavyweights, who all train differently and live in a different sporting culture.

Although the media keeps telling us that Tyson Fury is fast and a master at everything. Is he really? I think he has been a complete mess as Kronk Fury. I don't see this fighter who cannot be hit, or who has speed levels above everyone else. But I do see a fighter who he game, can have a go on the inside, and can wrestle and disrupt another fighter 'Most heavyweights at elite level struggle to do this these days'.

At the end of the day, people have to analyse fighters better 'And more critically'.

Fury got dropped badly numerous times now that he learned how to punch right with Sugar Hill no one but Wilder dropped him the least skilled guy but there’s better fighters now . All that running around won’t help him look what Wallin did to him and he’s not a top 10 guy . Whytes going to pound him out .
