Sanders vs 91 Foreman

This will be a combination of Foreman/Moorer and Sanders/V.Klitscko.

Foreman knocks Sanders the **** out.

 

I don't know that he was NEVER ranked by any sanctioning body at ANY point. But if you insist this is true I'll take your word for it or at least for the time being. Still being just outside the top 10 can still qualify for fringe.

This makes no sense. He beat a handful of respectable men including Wlad and you're holding it against him that he never did anything beyond beating Wlad when he was getting on in years.. In 1997, Ross was a fringe contender when he fought Sanders and Corrie chalked up a good win.. Lets leave it at that.

 

Corrie may have been a bit too dangerous to qualify but if they fought I would favor Foreman but would not be surprised if Corrie took Big George out, Sanders even had a good chance against the young version but again Sanders fizzled so he would have to use his speed, power and southpaw stance , all which was troublesome as a whole, too bad Sanders rarely was in super condition

 

if sanders hadnt stoped wlad easily in seconds, these trheads would never have happened.

instead we have this bizaarre custom of kliturds trying to big up sanders against historical greats, as to in turn big up wlads chances against them.


face the facts its not going to work. wlads the one who fell instantly to a failed fattie near40something failure. historical greats finish sanders in 1 round.

 

Would it do Purity justice to compare him to someone like McCall? He might be a level below, but considering he beat the best fighter he ever fought, who just so happened to rule the heavyweight division for the best part of a decade, calling him anything less than a journeyman/fringe contender seems like a massive insult

 

Going into the Sanders fight, he was on a 16-2-1 run with wins over Hipp and Jorge Luis Gonzalez, a draw with Morrison, and decision loses to Rahman and Grant. He could fight some and had similarities to old Foreman.

 

If we're taking peak Sanders, this isn't that difficult of a pick. sanders would be favored to win a decision. There is nothing he couldn't do in his prime better than what Moorer was doing against Foreman. Considering that almost every good fighter Foreman fought in the 90s lasted the distance, usually winning, chances are Sanders does.

 

Out where? No way Sanders would have taken Foreman out.

 

Foreman by KO in an exciting fight.

 

lol

yeh dey is both blak.

 

Um, Foreman was embarrassed and visibly rocked vs Ken Lakusta ( look up his record ).

A very inactive Jerry ****ey shook Foreman in round one, then folded in round two.

These matches took place in 1990.

In 1992, Alex Stewart, who was KO'd three times before meeting Foreman busted up Foreman's face and was likely on the bad end of a decision. That's just how boxing works, no one cared about Stewart, but to promoters, networks, and $$$ Foreman was the apple of their eye.

Sanders had not been a pro for long, but he would likely defeat Foreman, as he was not shot like ****ey, nor was he a journeyman like Stewart would become.

 

LOL!

he killed him inside 3. the only embarrassment was from being in the ring with Big G.


clutching at invisible straws..... because some guy got killed in 3 , corrie who never got a title shot, would beat the former atg Olympic gold medallist undisputed champion of the world.

to be fair it would be a good match to watch, but prime sanders isn't lasting long, hes so lacking in fitness, though he may have a few moments early on. And the old one who killed prime wlad in seconds? no chance at all.


Just because prime wlad wasn't good head to head, doesn't mean you can pretend others weren't.

 

Watch the fight. Lakusta ( A journeyman ) had nothing but landed a wild shot that made Foreman look bad at the 11:07 mark.

Foreman was painfully slow and wide open to be hit. Put in a skilled power puncher, and Foreman's in some serious trouble.

sadly sanders wasn't one of them.

he had some power, not a lot, and the same middling skill level. just enough to kill waldos middling chin, though I am sure being southpaw helped throw wlad off course.

 

To be fair, Wlad was still years away from reaching his peak. But yes It was still a huge win regardless. Klit was an olympian, undefeated 24-0 and with a physical advantage over about 98% of the division. Oliver McCall is a reasonable comparison.
