*** 1973 George Foreman VS 2012 Ring Mag Top 10 Heavyweights!!! ***

Wlad would make him look silly, Foreman wasn't some technical genius.:nono

They called him "Big" George Foreman for a reason, he was usually the bigger man in the ring. He would be the significantly smaller man against Wlad or Vitali. He's also slower than either of them, especially Wlad.

I don't doubt Foreman's power though & all it takes is one punch. Chances are that punch never happens & Wlad smacks the living **** outta him before KOing him late.

 

I would def. pick Foreman over anyone else on that list & most would be by KO.

 

I think Vitali beats George.He definitely outpoints him.

 

100% agree, but only Wlad is the one going to sleep.

 

this.

 

Both K-Bros beat him. He has superior chances against Wlad though.

 

73 Foreman KO's everyone except for maybe Vitali, Wladimir, and Povetkin. So, I'll vote for "beats them all but doesn't KO everyone." I think one of them would survive the distance.

 

Well, let's see. The guy came back as a fat old man after 10 years of retirement and recaptured the lineal belt in his mid 40's. Even into Foreman's late 40's, modern heavyweights avoided his power whenever possible. In an era of steroid-enhanced superheavyweight punchers.

Yeah, I'd say the prime version does pretty well....

 

i change my mind. i agree with this guy :bbb

 

Not even close to being true. He's 6'4" and was 220-225 in his prime. Weighed in the 230's after Ali and was 250-275 in comeback.
Only 12 or so of his opponents weighed under 200 pounds which doesn't make much of a difference anyway. He beat an ATG in Frazier twice,beat Ken Norton who beat Ali in 2 rounds. Killed the same young contenders in his 40's that Bowe,Tyson and Holyfield were fighting and became lineal champ 20 years after losing it and after 10 year retirement. **** you.

 

I'd definitely favor prime Foreman to beat everybody, unless he has to run a gauntlet like he did in that Foreman Five exhibition

 

Not really. 6'4" and 225 is not small. Same height as Briggs,thicker bone structure than Haye. Not as if size matters anyway.

 

Big George beats everyone. Maybe only two of these guys escape the KO.
Foreman TKO3 Boytsov (Boytsov has no head movement,be right there to hit)
Foreman TKO7 Arreola (another guy with no head movement,he would try to trade and get ****ed)
Foreman TKO5 Helenius (please)
Foreman TKO4 Dimitrenko (the guy who Chambers dropped?)
Foreman TKO5 Chambers (he'd get caught with a wild shot,freeze up and be crushed)
Foreman TKO4 Adamek (Arm puncher Vitali had him out on his feet in 2)
Foreman KO5 Povetkin (big head crashed by a big fist,only result is KO)
Foreman KO4 Wlad (Younger Wlad is killed in 2,current cautious Wlad is killed in 4)
Foreman TKO10 Vitali (the guy who quit against Byrd?)

Foreman was the best slugger ever in this division period. His power was enough to KO bigger guys all the way into the 90's.
"Consider that George Foreman, in his prime had the highest knockout percentage in boxing history. After his destruction of Norton, he was 40-0 with 37 knockouts, for a knockout percentage of 92.50. In his career Foreman had 15 first round knockouts and 18 second round knockouts. That's 33 knockouts inside of the first 2 rounds! He had 46 knockouts that were 3 rounds or less, which is more than any other heavyweight champion. George Foreman’s incredible two round destruction over Joe Frazier was the most one-sided beating ever delivered upon an undefeated heavyweight champion."
Come Get Some!

 

Not a hope. The pressure and power of Foreman would destroy Wlad. Wlad was gun shy for the first few rounds against Haye, purely because he knew Haye could bang and Haye is smaller than Foreman with a far worse chin and less power.

Wlad has been put down by guys like TOS and Peter and destroyed by Sanders. Yes he is a better fighter now, but he still fights timidly and there is no way he would keep Foreman at bay. Foreman was a monster before the Ali loss, wiping out ATG greaters.

Only Vitali would have a real chance due to his granite chin. Vitali would be able to take punishment and use his range and jab to frustrate Foreman. There is no way that Wlad avoids being hit by an aggressive prime Foreman. And when he does he would be badly hurt and Foreman was a fearsome finisher.

As for the utter ******s talking about him losing to the sloppy bums that make up most of the division.:roll:

They should watch a different sport.

 

Norton isn't an all time great
