George Foreman says that Wilder and Fury would've whooped him

[Oracle01]

Come back Foreman was never a force, he got schooled by AIDS Morrison, was getting the **** beaten out of him by moorer until he managed to land one on moorers glass chin when moorers got overconfident and ******, and got beat by Axel Schultz.

Comeback George was an interesting novelty, but a "force", lol.

Morrison was a beast in his prime and would be WC today easily. Foreman went 30-3 in his comeback while fighting quality fighters, and he had a competitive fight with a prime Holyfield. How many of todays heavies would have a competitive fight with prime Holyfield?

But I also pick Fury, Wilder, W. Klitschko and Possibly even an invigorate Joshua over many of the post-Ali era stal*****, including Norton, Snipes, Cooney, Thomas, Witherspoon, Smith, Cobb, Williams, Tubbs, Holyfield, Cooper, Bowe, Golota, Moorer, Tua, Byrd, Ibeabuchi, Valuev, Briggs, Haye, Vitali, et el. Holmes, Tyson, Lewis are another matter alltogether. Too close to call. Then...what do I know?

Clearly not much. Joshua got beat up by a fat boy, and you think he beats those type of fighters? lol and you even mention Wilder? A literal bum?

George is always a very, very humble person. He is never the kind of guy to ever make an excuse like 90% of these guys do these days. I have watched several interviews where he's been asked what would have happened if you fight this guy or that guy and George always says the other guy would win.

George Foreman probably has too much chin for these kids tbh.

But these technical breakdowns that avoid talking about specific technique avoid specific technique because they're coming from ****s who only know the terms for basic ****. If the full extent of your punch vocab is **** like jab, hook, overhand, uppercut, and cross....ya can't actually speak to the ****ing techniques you claim to understand. ****ers.

That said, take away his chin and Foreman's more basic than Wilder.

Tell me I'm wrong and we're going fright back to ****ing 2018 when my sig used to show who? Deontay and Foreman doing the same exact **** except, magically, it's Foreman who is sloppier.


It's frustrating. A lot of the same clowns will talk about Wlad like as if Wlad used anything but amateur techniques. Wlad's a very technical boxer, and George Foreman relied on well formed punches and timing not his chin and power.....and I'm meant to take youse seriously like yer ****ing opinions should matter to anyone, including yourselves. Basically because youse can circlejerk confirmation bias out of one another? Nope, not impressed.

I love that Big George is so honest. I tend to agree with him.

Foreman is my favorite fighter due to his raw power and strength . with wilder I think foreman would smother and over power him with his uppercuts .now fury is a different story if they went toe to toe , while fury is obviously the bigger man , I don't think he's stronger so landing vicious hooks to that flabby body would definitely take its toll. If fury fought like wilder 1 and klitchko then he'd beat him as much as it hurts for me to say that about my boy .

We'll that's obvious.

In George's comeback, he was fighting heavyweight his size - 6'3 and below. Moorer was 6'2. So were Holyfield and Morrison for that matter. The only quality big man by today's standards he beat in his comeback was Gerry Cooney, and absolutely went life and death with him (great fight by the way).

In addition to size, 60's era heavyweights didn't have access to the training and nutrition that we have today. If George was fighting in this era, he would be a COMPLETELY different fighter and vice versa if Wilder and Fury were in their primes in the 60s-70s.

This is why I find the notion of fantasy fights idiotic. It's like guitar players or quarterbacks - each generation builds on the accomplishments of the ones prior - You don't have a Mike Tyson without a George Foreman, You'd don't have an George Foreman without a Joe Louis, etc.

A big part of foremans game was how big he was

he was 6'4" and 215-220lbs

Against a 6'9" 250lb Fury he loses any of his size and strength advantage, if he got close fury would ragdoll him in the clinches

He was also slow as molasses, i mean wilder is a speedster in comparrison

I mean what advantages does foreman have over Fury? Seriously?

I think fury would toy with him tbh and I love george and against less elusive opposition i'll always go with him but he's so much slower than fury and giving up such vast size difference, i can't pick him in that.

The chin and the punch.

Has anyone in history had a bigger turnaround than Big GF? He was a stone cold killer then turned into a pudgy sweet guy lol

Interesting

[real raw]

I agree. Flat-out Foreman is far better than any of the top 3 today.

HW remains horrible since the 90's

Forman might be better, that doesn't mean he beats either wilder or fury, they are just too big for him.
