And Moorer, Cooney, Lyle, Schultz, Savarese ... Ummm ... because he gassed himself out putting an unholy beating on Ali? I'd say not. Golota (who never went on to do much of anything) dropped Bowe with ease. Holyfield dropped Bowe. He couldn't drop Foreman. OLD Foreman. Foreman had the better chin.
I don't often agree with you, but in this case we are on the same page. It seems obvious to me Foreman > Bowe. I think this thread backfired a bit on Ticar Anyway, I don't really like Bowe, so I'll admit it and bow out of the thread. I don't want to be a Dino.
Coetzer didn't win a round and his face was pounded into mince meat before any low blow was connected in the 7th round - and which was clearly accidental having decided to switch his attack to his body. Foreman would also turn his attention to Coetzer's body due to his shots having no effect on Coetzers iron dome. Bowe battered Coetzer. The low blow had nothing to do with it.
Lol you are delusional, Foreman was probably fat fuc.k out of shape if he was 226 at 18 considering he was 217 vs frazier Bowe was 235-245 meaning he has around 20 lbs on foreman meaning he's bigger, stronger, better punching technique meaning more power... Not to mention better skills and defense, chin and stamina Foreman was hitting the canvas a lot and even against non punchers, plus his stamina was awful
I meant his 1st career... Golota was big, strong, could punch and bowe still took everything golota had when shot and out of gas, unlike foreman who got ko'd by ali... Dropped by jimmy ****ing young so hard that he saw god Kissing the canvas twice against ron lyle, ex con without boxing pedigree who made him look like an amateur and hit him at will... Oh and you forgot to say that bowe was past prime when he got knocked down by holyfield, and still ko'd his ass, something that hard punching foreman couldn't do... Not even knock him down... Bowe ate holyfield punches in their first two fights no problem Holyfield also dropped tyson and mercer, but you probably think lyle >holyfield
lol you are horrible, holyfield came and brawled with him and even pushed him back at 205lbs!! you didnt see him try and do that with even an old foreman, if holy fought foreman like he fought bowe, foreman would have beat him as well. foreman pushed everyone else back, bowe was getting pushed back by holyfield. Old foreman was equally polished as bowe look at their respective performances vs coetzer. better chin? lmao, getting easily dropped by golota and almost knocked out with one punch by an old holyfield who was having sme sort of BAD medical issue. Bowe's defense was poo and his stamina was mediocre. Bowe was just the first decent real SHW nothing else.
I love when foreman fans talk about defense Foreman really did not have any kind of defense, looked like a modern day reincarnation of max baer, crude caveman who can't slip a punch to save his life That's why he was kissing the canvas all the time and vs bowe he would stay down Also foreman was 217 vs frazier so only 12 pounds more than holyfield, his alias would be small george compared to big daddy
Obviously not his optimal weight, the man was dead tired after half of the fight when under 220.. Bowe at 235 went 12 hard paced rounds vs peak holyfield... Much better condition
for a 230+ fighter it wasnt bad but it wasnt even really better than 48 year old foreman that fought savarese and briggs
Bowe had incredible stamina and Foreman had mediocre stamina and terrible pacing issues. Nobody is questioning that. But the difference in size between the two is negligible. Foreman actually tried to slim down to the least possible weight he could, often coming into fights dehydrated (this is documented) which may have been a reason for his stamina issues. Foreman was massive. As a teenager he was rock solid at 226. This is insane. Even the Klits were in the low 200s at that age. No doubt he was a freak of nature and maybe the strongest heavy ever.
