You have to remember, Boxing was where "all" the big men went back in the day, as that's where the money was. Now you can play football (Soccer for you losers out there), basketball, NFL, UFC etc etc etc. Whilst diet and training science has gotten better the pool of talent coming in has dropped.
Foreman by Big Ko for me.

We've never seen Foreman's prime... His best version in my opinion is the late 80s/early 90s one, massive heavy guy hard to hurt or ko, better schooled, more experience, better opposition...
Neither versions were "chinny", but neither versions ever got in the ring with a modern super-HW, and a big puncher at that, like Wilder... Wilder is sloppy, not exactly well-schooled overall, suspect defense and chin, but he's huge, athletic, long, fast and hits hard... Wilder is not Klitschko but i would still favor him over any version of Foreman, and by stoppage...

Originally posted by billeau2 View PostNo Foreman never faced a heavyweight who yelled "bomb squaaaad", or was as handsome as Wilder either... Do you know who brought Foreman along OP? Do yourself a favor and FIND OUT. Foreman was a cheif sparring partner, was taught his craft by a guy who had reach and a preeeeeeeeeeeeety decent jab. Why don't you do some research and find out who that was? Heres a hint: Foreman would be quite familiar with reach and a great jab.

But Deontay Wilder is like a heavy weight version of Thomas Hearns or Sonny Liston 2.0. Tall, great jab, great right hand, and great at keeping the distance. Foreman never in his career faced a monster like Deontay. How would a showdown between Prime George Foreman and Deontay Wilder look? And who wins that fight?
good one.
