George Foreman vs Anthony Joshua ?

[Sid-Knee]

That is all a hypothetical story much like every other fight that did not and cannot happen. I am not sure Joshua is more skilled than Young. Frazier was skilled enough but that did stop him from getting KO'ed. Foreman fought Chuvalo, Ken Norton, and Ron Lyle, and in later years Evander, Morrison, and Moorer. None of them could knock him out.

Joshua has shown evasive skills in only one fight and that was against an obese, small guy. In all his other fights, he was quite robotic. It's not a done deal that Joshua can take Foreman's shot(s) and continue to perform a perfect fight afterward. Not a big fan of such hypothetical fights but my comments were in reply to "Joshua will beat the daylight out of Foreman". Don't see that happening.

Foreman got hit by all those fighters in his prime? They were all big punchers?

Norton wasn't a puncher. Norton shrank when against a puncher though. Foreman lit him up in two rounds. Getting hit by a few punches by him means nothing.

And what happened when Foreman got hit by the journeyman Lyle? He was dropped and wobbled all over the place. had it been an actual skilled world level fighter, Foreman would have been blown away.

Chuvalo is nothing but a bum. Please stop.

You're not sure AJ is more skilled than Young? Hahahahahaha. AJ has more skill between his fingernails than 5 Jimmy Youngs combined. Again, please stop.

Frazier was nothing but a bar-room brawler with one arm. There's more boxing skill in a Twinky than Joe Frazier. Plus, Frazier didn't land anything of note so it doesn't matter to the point. Frazier went straight at him which benefitted Foreman. AJ wouldn't do that at close distance and throw hooks. He'd keep it long whether on the front foot or the back foot. Foreman throws nothing but looping short shots. AJ's long straight shots would wipe him clean. Foreman is not taking those power shots with no defence. Not in this life time or the next.

The irony of calling AJ robotic when the subject matter is George Foreman. Now there is someone who moved like a robot. It's very uncanny. AJ has actual skill and is in no way robotic. That's just a smear from poisonous idiots. If you showed people today who haven't watched boxing before both AJ and foreman fighting, every single one of them would answer Foreman when asked which one was robotic. They'd laugh and give you a look if you suggested it was the other way round. It's preposterous.

I've told you AJ wouldn't be there to take the swinging and telegraphed short shots from Foreman.

Doesn't matter how many times AJ has boxed off the backfoot. All that matters is he's shown he can. And it will only get better when he perfects it even more.

Foreman couldn't take those straight power shots he'd be walking straight into. He'd go quickly. It's actually a mismatch. A light hitter dropped him in Young. AJ would keep him there.

Perhaps, but he might not have a single good win yet.

Maybe Parker? ... but Parker got beat by Euro-level Whyte, who was iced by 41-yr old Povetkin.

Whyte. Good win.
Ruiz. Good win.
Parker. Good win.
Povetkin. Good win.
Klitschko. Very good win.

Perhaps you should lay off the drugs.

All are proven at world level. Whyte getting beat after dominating Povetkin doesn't dispute that. Many fighters have lost that way. Doesn't remove the fact they're world class.

Another page where people act like geroge had defense and wasn't slow the man would look outdated vs Josh come on stop the acting dumb stuff

[Ascended]

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 the word you meant was people acting crazy which they always act with George the man was slow and no defense and easy to read bunch of idiots like always

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.

That quote of having to fight from going back is flawed the ron match showed george can be hit easy when a person can read him good and since george was always slow they could often

George Whole movement was bad and slow with no angle used any of the people who said he would hit let alone beat a person like Josh who moves good and hits hard is trolling or crazy or just outdated with the times

Foreman by KO.

[Ascended]

Yeah like he "literally" killed all those bum cruiserweights he fought right?

Get real

Truth of it is you could scoop up almost all of Foreman opponents and put them in with Luis Ortiz or current old ass Povetkin and they'd all get brutally ktfo early rounds by those guys too.

People are way too easily impressed by dudes who boxed on black and white tv

Yea why didn't all the dudes george beat coming up in the ranks just fall off from like 5 shots or 2 the man power is way overrated and never was impressive when he was young slow easy to read and no defense why is that impressive to these crazy people

[Ascended]

George could take AJs shots. The reverse is not true and AJ will gas before a young Foreman who fought in the 15rd era so AJ ain't gonna' beat George like he he beat vato fatso the second time out. Big George KO7 AJ

Another dumb quote never thought Josh having way better movement then george was used to fighting would mean he wouldn't get hit much huh your logic is trash

[nubianpiye]

Foreman wins joshua has nothing in his arsenal to stop foreman landing his big shots and they’ll be the end of joshua
