Well, we'd find out very quickly how good of a chin Deontay really has. I imagine foreman could take wilder's best shots and knock him out inside of 6 or 7 rounds.
so what, he still tired immensely after round 4, kind of like Tyson. im sure they both had late tko and ko wins, doesn't change the FACT they were totally different fighters after 4 round of throwing bombs
March 17, 1977 You never know. Maybe there's something to Wilder we just don't know yet. But I'd make Foreman the betting favorite by stoppage.
Go watch Tyson vs Ruddock and then come back and tell me Tyson was a 4 round fighter. Off you go.:hi:
wow, one fight he was able to perform for 10 rounds. for most of his career he was a 4 round fighter. if you cant see the difference in Tyson and foreman from rounds 1 through 4 and from 5 through 12 you are clueless and have NO idea what you're watching in the ring. Tyson could go longer until his mid 20's, once he was in his mid 20's he was a 4 rounder
GTFOH. First Foreman was a 4 round fighter, when i disproved that, you pull Tysons name out of your ass. "Tyson was a 4 round fighter". Tyson stood toe to toe with Ruddock for 12 rounds and you claim it was only one fight. Lets put it another way, Tyson went the distance 5 times, he won all 5. Tyson could stand toe to toe or outbox fighters for 12 rounds and his record shows this. Do you remember Buster Douglas? Tyson had him on his ass in round 8. Tyson stopped Ribalta in round 10. Ffs, he came out of prison and boxed only 8 incomplete rounds in 5 years and still went 11.5 rounds with Holyfield. Go on, find another sport to watch and stop wasting my time.
I am in total agreement with you. George was one of a kind. The most brutal puncher and resilient receiver I have ever seen. The guy was a master technician in the ring. The shots he threw, the angles he threw them. He had a boxing IQ that was off the charts. Unfortunately, he got lured into a snake pit in Africa, headstrong, overconfident and young. In the lead-up to the fight he ate poorly, was psychologically worked and one could argue held hostage because the fight should have been taken to another venue, unsafe. But Big George was young and overconfident and he got outfoxed, on that day (actually in the wee hours of the morning).
Lyle couldn`t knock Foreman out and he was a devastating puncher, Wilder is really hesitant in the start of a lot of his bouts, he`s very wary of being countered and Foreman was always looking to land hard shots.
