Can an average 25-year-old beat George Foreman now at 71

[Larry the boss]

Average American male between 20 and 39 years old is 5'9" and a little south of 200Lbs with a 40" waist. Even allowing the younger part of this range is likely to be a little leaner that still doesn't speak of someone in tremendous shape or very big.


Also you really can't imagine the difference fight training and experience makes.




I believe the old dude here is a former Italian champion but the young dude is fit and got some training, so he's already ahead of Mr Average by a margin. This **** ain't close...

I'm with Big Old George over Lardy Joe Average by a country mile.


Ha Just looked into it a bit, Old dude here was Ernesto Bergamasco an Italian 140Lb challenger who fell short of a national title twice and was something like 63 or 64 when that video was shot.

and he only had a 21 percent ko percentage

He would destroy every single one of them. It’s not even a joke. Foreman is a big man. The average 25 years old has never laced them up before. Unless it’s a street fight where a gun is involved then Foreman takes any average 25 years old out.

Great example, I remember watching this video and checking Ernesto out, I then found out that he was an Olympian or box in his younger years. He now trains other young fighters. Which made sense, because the way he was moving his head and cutting off the ring shows he wasn’t an average old man.

No chance. Average 25 old can`t even punch. Average 25 old breaks his own hand if tries to punch somebody to the face.

If George Foreman hit 10 men on the chin, one after the other, he'd probably put several of them in comas and give the majority of them concussions. At the other end of the scale, how often do you see "fight videos" online, or people getting cheap-shotted (which seems to be the way of it these days), and someone will take several blows to the face without it having any serious effect? Men of today are much softer than in previous generations. If you just stopped the first 25-year-old you find on the street the likelihood is he would die at Big George's fists.

No. Not average guy. You need to be above average to beat george.
George has lost speed, endurance, timing and most other stuff. But he hits harder and tough still, and all the knowledge is still up there somewhere which he can bring out of closet

[TMLT87]

The average 25 year old male has no idea how to throw a punch, or the notion of protecting their chin. If you let 71 year old George land a clean punch on you, its still going to hurt, especially if you're a random guy who has probably never even been hit before.

Now, if we are talking an in shape 25 year old who has some rudimentary skills? he probably beats George up.

[Fanofreason]

No. George would hit them once. Now a pro athlete that’s lanky and in shape could beat Foreman. Say a Myles Garrett.

[champion4ever]

F yes! What the Hell kind of question is that? Foreman is not as a strong as he was when he was younger. The man is a senior citizen for crying out loud. He has an infirmity. He is 70 years old. You must want Big George to have a heart attack or something?

[SN!PER]

Normally I would put my money on the younger man, but this is George Foreman we're talking about. Even at his funeral he might climb out of the casket and whoop some young punk's ass if they start talking shit about him.
