    Saying that Frazier was nothing but a bar-room brawler with one arm exposes your prejudice. Frazier the Brawler, the man you hold in disdain fought the greatest heavyweight ever in Muhammad Ali. Three tremendous fights with Frazier winning the first, losing the second in a great fight. After the third fight which Ali won when Frazier's corner wouldn't let him continue, Ali said that he had come close to death. Yet you in your great hindsight say Frazier was a bum.
    Frazier would've KO'd Joshua as well.

      WTF....George is an ATG Heavyweight. AJ can't even figure out how to beat a cruiserweight.

      I dont even know if AJ beats Herbie Hide FFS

        Foreman is about the size of Povetkin or slightly bigger, correct, but Povetkin's hooks are much faster. Under Steward, Vlad avoided them pretty easy vs. Foreman's hooks which are more telegraphed. Foreman is there to clinched just not sure Vlad can control him. That's a good fight. Not sure Vlad doesn't line up one of the rights hidden behind his jab or steps into a hook and drops Foreman. Ali showed you can wear Foreman down. Vlad is non-stop clinching and putting his weight on you. Damn good fight!

          George by murder.

          Anyone who thinks different should have their head examined.

            I can see it your way. Sadly, Vlad will never get the respect he deserves as to his place on the best heavyweights list, neither will Sonny Liston who some boxing historians rate as the best ever (in his prime). Seems as if you fight too long and father-time catches up with you that none of your past greatness has much credence (except for Ali).

              That's a great breakdown on styles. No, seriously. Haha.

              Foreman walks forward with no defence. AJ can fight on the backfoot and walk Foreman into shots without even trying. When you add in feints, then it becomes even more ridiculous.

              Where does AJ have a biscuit chin? Where is it different to a prime Foreman?

                That "Cruiserweight" is an ATG. Foreman couldn't come close to competing with a journeyman in Young. Foreman was dominated and dropped.

                For the record, Usyk and Foreman weigh about the same at Heavy. Only Usyk has skills Foreman couldn't come close to achieving. Foreman would be lucky to win a round against Usyk.

                As for calling Foreman an ATG... Hahahahahahaha. Yeah, he isn't close to being. His resume is far too thin for him to be. But please list his resume so we can go over it and discuss it. I'm up for a laugh.

                  Frazier, the guy who was beaten by a complete bum in Bonavena who had less skill than a caveman? Yeah, sure he does. AJ and Usyk aren't even challenged by him head to head.

                    The young fight was close. You are a troll.

                      Foreman in his prime would beat every current heavyweight. The medical profession would step in and disallow a Foreman/AJ fight. My god, have we no empathy?
