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

[TheMyspaceDayz]

The average man starts worrying when he is confronted by Becky about whether he stole her juice box from the company fridge.
You bet your ass he is worrying when a man of Foreman’s size and history is standing across from him... unless he is delusional, in which case the man gets Gerry Cooney’d within seconds.

No. If the old boxer was say a much smaller man instead of a heavyweight then it could potentially be 50-50 or if the boxer in question had some serious ailments then maybe.

But George Forearm and pretty much any retired heavyweight even if they are older can still lay most dudes out. These guys were used to throwing and exchanging with people just as big and strong.

To be fair I don't think any average 25 year old can beat any boxing champ at foreman level at 71, even if you was a flyweight.
I think any pro boxer in top 50 beats 71 year old foreman though now, even from lower weights

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.

I think that's my people ****ing up the stats for the rest of America. No flag waving, just really don't see it.

I promise at 5'8", 160 at my fattest, I am short and small in most situations in the US. Not by no inch either Considerably small.

I was surprised too TBH, I'm about 5'11, 175 - 180 in training (more like 190 right now ) and consider myself pretty much **** average. and I ain't heard that the US population is any smaller that UK on average. Looked at about 3 different sources though and those were the numbers that came up so

That is age range 20 - 39 of course and I'm willing to bet the average 25 y.o is leaner, but I'd guess height doesn't change that much by the time you're 40 (I lost about a half inch between 35 and 47).

Wondering if the growing Hispanic population in the US is lowering the average height any? Fastest growing and youngest demographic I believe and maybe shorter than average?

I think any one under 6ft thinks of themselves as "**** avergae"....... because we are lol

I'm 5'11 and around 192lbs last I checked...... I could lose 20-30 lbs easy if I trained and lost my belly..... my arms and chest are still defined at 34 years of age though...... muscle memory from my training days..... just have to look at a weight and my veins are popping.

[texasboi15]

I wouldn't wanna fight him..

[texasboi15]

Could you imagine landing your best shot and the old man jus spit out a tooth and kept coming..

Fck that.

[Pigeons]

Is George still able to use both arms and feet? If so, no chance.

That video never fails to crack me up....... the fact you see the young guy smiling and laughing at the start, then totally dazed at the end lol
