Comments Thread For: George Foreman: I Just Can't See Joshua Beating Tyson Fury

[Jack Rivers]

As much as I'd like to agree with the big fella, i think AJs style fits better with beating fury than wilder.

AJ can fight on the inside and can move around punches better than wilder. It's not by much because he's to mucle bound and stiff but go back and watch the whyte fight. AJ moved around the ring pretty well then while taking hits. AJ can work the inside better with combos, upper cuts and hooks to where Wilder freezes and just throws his arms up to block when attacked.

Fury leaves himself open a lot with his style and a good boxer with power will knock him out. Wilder had him basically knocked out in the first fight and if it was in an earlier round fury wouldn't have gotten up because I'm sure in the 12th wilders power wasnt 100%.

Some fighters just have other fighters number. Norton had Ali's, Holyfield had Tysons, Ali had Listons, Bowe had Holyfields and ect.. AJ could have Furys. We'll nevwr know until these tops guys fight each other. At least I'll give Wilder credit for saying "the best must fight the best" and isnt afraid to take on the challenge.

When Wilder knocked Fury down in the 12th I thought it was over. That left hook he caught Fury with on the way down, with Fury's head & neck completely unsupported should have finished anyone by rights. To recover quickly enough and rise from that, then finish the round bullying Wilder was phenomenal. The only comparison I can think of is when Corrales got up in the 10th to TKO Castillo. If that combo from Wilder couldn't finish him off, then I don't see how AJ does, and he has to to win. I don't see him outpointing Fury, Fury just has more tools in the box, better punch resistance and higher ring IQ. Still, it's HW boxing, anything can happen. I know where I'm putting my money though.

Fury takes this, this is why I hope he beats Wilder again. That’s the only way we would see the Undisputed fight. Hearn and Warren/Arum seems they genuinely want this fight and I hope they both win their next bout. Any boxing fan should wish for that as PBC aren’t into making this fight.

It'd be an uphill struggle for Joshua on paper. Hes more well rounded than Wilder but still inferior pretty much everywhere to Fury, and unlike Wilder he doesnt have the same hail Mary one shot punchers chance. I think Fury would make it a boring but one sided UD win.

Just because Wilder is graceless in defeat doesn't mean you need to be.

People say and do ****** things during the grieving process.

Foreman also told Josh not to take the rematch and he predicted Wilder to spark Fury.

The man is senile and being an ex-boxer doesn't mean you know **** all about the sport.

Josh sparks Fury late.

Idk that I can't see it, but I heavily favor Fury. And I think it's very possible if AJ does win it'll be by a decision most disagree with not unlike the Wilder I draw.

Ah ****. George picked Fury, gonna have to put my retirement savings on Joshua via KO then.

Why? George got it right more times than not when he did color commentary, even when his cocommentators couldn't see his insight until his predictions came true. Big George has forgot more about boxing than you or I will ever know.

Just a hunch, big Wilder fan?

[theface07]

The same way he said wilder will knock Fury out...

He was obviously supporting his southern brother. Can't blame him for that.

As a bonafide legit good "boxer," Fury didnt beat Wilder like Lomachenko or Mayweather beats their opponents. They rely MOSTLY (98%) on superb hand skilz & footwork. Fury went berzerk with the 'palm, leaning and grappling' frenzy - on a sedentary twig.

Foreman on the other hand(?) fought like a mindless programmed robot against Ali. He wasted all his nervous energy by constantly winging these huge draining shots that Ali was willing to absorb. The hoopla surrounding the fight CLEARLY got to him mentally. He admitted as much in different interviews.

Wilder looked lethargic out the gate. Its still Wilders fault for the sluggishness, because that problem couldve been avoided in training camp with a good nutritionists or strength trainers or whatever.....

He certainly got the money to get the very best in those fields.

Other than that. Fury was no Ali in that fight against Wilder either!! Fury fought more like Foreman with a higher boxing IQ to help him win in those spots where Wilder was extra drained from the 300lb lean fest....

Foreman named all his sons "George" so I'm not too keen on what he has to say as far as this fight is concerned...he wants to see everything the "same" ...because at the moment, he needs it to be.

Wow, you have more excuses than Wilder himself! I've said it already and I'll say it again, Big George has forgot more about boxing than you'll ever know.

All I hear in your nonsensical rant is:
