[QueensburyRules]

Why are there so many George Foreman fantasy fight threads in this forum from years ago suddenly getting resurrected lately?

Foreman was durable but huge athletic skilled power punchers like A.J is a bit to much .

george wasnt that tough to hard shots shown by ron who hard him hurt in the 1st close to end

[Ascended]

Only crazy idiots say george way to basic slow and easy to read aj would destroy him he wasnt even that tough to hard shots hurt 1st round by Ron saved by bell

Never have I seen a person who was a big name hw in danger from the first hard shot in the 1st round

Old era Foreman probably does even better than young era Foreman. I think Joshua's only chance is in George's first 35 or so fights. The return Foreman slows him down and busts him up.

I’d take A.J who is much more difficult then a Ron Lyle and if A.J lost to Jimmy Young this match wouldn’t even be talked about . People are acting like Foreman couldn’t lose .

I think Big George beats Usyk and I know Usyk beat Joshua twice. Big George Ko's Joshua between seven and ten.

What did Lyle do better then A.J ? Get real he was far from Olympic champion material, he was physically strong and able to use his size ,imagine what a a 6”6 240 plus guy with elite pedigree would do .

Foreman bullied guys with a lot of shoving and if he didn’t get you out early he lost confidence like Young who even knocked him down who wasn’t a power puncher and near 200 pounds then that of anyone even like Ruiz . It’s why the entire prime topic is laughable ,Foreman was more effective in the 90”s so it’s a weird point of talks anyway .

You must not be talking about AJ, no elite pedigree there.

Bodybuilder boxes basic power punch merchant hypejob's ears off at his back foot.

He loses if he fights ******ly like he did in the first Ruiz bout.

Foreman doesn’t hit as hard as Wlad.

AJ would ragdoll him and smash him all over the ring with a brutal KO.

AJ has a solid chin. Wilder and Fury would be out cold if they took a big shot AJ took from Wlad, Whyte and Povetkin.

Foreman doesn't hit as hard as Vlad? Foreman would have cleaned Vlad's clock.

[OldTerry]

AJ absolutely destroys him. Any fighter who can fight off the back foot and have Foreman come on to them and into shots, will dominate.

This Foreman nonsense about being an ATG is f3cking insulting nonsense. He was a cave man with no skills or any ring IQ. Behave yourselves. AJ is like the matrix in comparison.

Foreman is clumsy on the front foot. Just look at the Young fight. Young was just about able to box on the back foot with, lets say, primitive skills . But due to Ali and foreman not being able to fight on the front foot properly, he beat them. He just didn't get the decision over Ali like others didn't. Young wasn't a puncher by a long shot, but he dropped and dominated Foreman. It was a mismatch. Put an actual skilled fighter with power against him, Foreman gets brutally KO'd within 5. He won't be able to do anything but walk into big shots and fall over until he can't get up any more.

If Joshua and Wilder fight, how are you going to explain a "no skilled" fighter like Wilder beating Joshua? The point being that George has greater skills than does Wilder., yet Joshua loses to Wilder.

[OldTerry]

The version who beat Martin rips Foreman a new arsehole. AJ getting any better is just tragic for the devoid of skill Foreman.

Could you imagine Foreman walking forward with absolutely no skill nor defence against AJ? Forget what Young did to him. This ends quick and with lots of pain. It would be embarrassing for George.

He's not an ATG, and he never will be. Neither will the bar room brawler with one arm in Frazier either.

Fortunately for you, there are no penalties for erroneous viewpoints.
