    Not much of a size difference, and Usyk has handled brutal punchers like Bredis and Gassiev who are all over 220lb on fight night

    I don't see how Big George handles a guy as quick and skilled
    Big George ain't no punk like joshua.

        On the bag he looked worst just slow swinging no variety

        In the ring he did add angles to the punches

        i did notice though in practice he looked better then real matches like he had real defense and didnt look as sloopy odd shown

        had we got this in real matches i would respect his style more

              He could probably frustrate a young Foreman and win on points. I don't know about older Foreman as he was more skilled in his later career. A lot of people focus on Foreman's power, but he had a brilliant jab and cut off the ring like a cyborg. Remember, Ali made everyone look pedestrian, including the great Patterson.

                foreman doesnt head hunt like AJ also doesnt try to box with superior boxers or get shelled up afraid of getting hit.

                Usyk would be able to land on him but he doesnt have big power to drop foreman with any one shot. He would have to be on point the whole night. Foreman fought dirty and had some tricks to overcome Usyk's footwork. He would push guys and then unload when they were off balance at the distance he wanted them at.

                Its not like foreman hadnt fought highly skilled boxers before, he fought many and he knocked out a soviet boxer to win the olympic medal.

                Its pretty crazy really foreman's raw talent, he only had 20 amateur fights and 18 months experience when he won a gold medal in the olympics. You got jake paul running around bragging how hes done so much in boxing in 3 years, he hasnt even fought a real boxer, george foreman won a gold medal by knockout in 18 months and in the soviet and cuban eras at that.

                  And had a granite chin, no fear of getting hit. Heavy handed that will hurt. And 15 rounds in one of the best boxing eras.

                      And why do you think pushing would work on Usyk cause he is a patient counterer like a tommy/Oscar/young Ali and others who were pickers and counterers why dont you people ever see the flaws in that pushing somebody who is a great picker/counterer is dumb they would be pushed right where they fought best from its better to not push like you people are so dumb to keep saying that cause other idiots say it you convinced yourselves it works on people it obviously wouldn't

                      George Was picked off in his late years when he had better defense why would him in his young years not having any defense just leaving himself open using only pushes which i told you the flaws of using do good with any of these types it doesn’t add up

                      None of these dudes would just stand there after he pushes them never thought about that or thought about how long range and slow his shots were huh its obvious he would be picked apart and countered and koed by combos from Usyk same as bowe the difference wit bowe though is he a picker per say but a man who would unleash great mutuple combos he would destroy george he would overwhelm him

                      i take you people only seen george matches vs people who he destroyed who were were easy targets who just stand there or tried brawling which is why you people always leave out jim/Martin remember him he wasnt bullied he stopped the pushes by walking into him stopping him from over pushing all the time he wasnt destroyed either that match never happened though so leave that out

                      or how about Chuvalo his timing was bad but he made george missed easy shots others who if had good timing and more speed would take advantage of leave that match out to though

                      and always add in a joe who didn't move good no more who just stood there like thats idiotic to give credit to george like anybody could of did that joe that way
