Are you serious? Wasn't bad? Loool, he outlanded ****ing Holyfield, a walking meat grinder by a hundred punches or so in their second fight. He could put up a pace that no other super heavy could even dream to match. (look: Vitali and Lewis looking like they got gangraped after 6 rounds of action)
did i say foreman's defense was good? care to disprove the rest of what i wrote? why didnt holyfield go and slug with old george? why was an old man at the brink of cardiac arrest able to almost knock bowe out with one punch? any decent HEALTHY HW would have finished him when he was in the corner, defenseless
You know what you're right, he should be given credit for his stamina. Bowe's stamina is very good because he did throw alot of punches with bad intent. It wasnt quite ibeabuchi stamina but still
Bowe was always easy to hit and someone that gets badly rocked by the likes of Herbie Hide and Andrew Golota is getting knocked out cold by Foreman.
Bowe could fight. He had the tools to beat a lot of fighters. If he had to face Foreman he would be smart to use his boxing skills. I think it`s a tough fight. It would probably end up becoming a slugfest regardless to be honest. If Riddick is still standing after 4 or 5 rounds his chances increase dramatically.
Its funny because they make a big deal out of lyle but herbie hide was 6'2 and 214 lbs so actually smaller than lyle. Bowe said hide hit him harder than any of his opponents. Holyfield wasnt exactly a huge heavyweight and was also about 6'2 weighing between 205-215 and had a low ko% and didnt hit very hard either yet he dropped bowe and slugged it out in all three fights. Foreman said lyle hit harder than anyone he fought including when he was old (gerry cooney, briggs, morrison etc). Its perfectly understandable getting dropped by a hard puncher when you are rusty and brawl with no defense--its expected. And he still won.
fat like hell at 226? in his 20s he weighed 225 against norton and 226 against lyle, 232 against dino denis, 229 against ledoux,225 against joe murphy,228 against pedro agosto . and here you got the video. Foreman at 226 when was 19 and looked slender with no fat, only an idiot like you do not know that he was drained at 217 pounds.. put this title on youtube george foreman vs Albert Willson (amateur-golden gloves). the most of the people choose Foreman by ko, sorry for you idiot
You said bowe's defense is poor and his stamina mediocre... Haha great argument when your favorite is known for his head blocking punches defense and gassing out after few rounds Lol hater can't even pick up pros and cons of his favorite
What favorite? I'm not even sure foreman makes it into my top 10 favorite fighters. Again why did a half dead old holyfield pretty much stop bowe with one punch(anyone who was HEALTHY would have finished bowe off at that point) if bowe is better stronger bigger better chin than foreman. Yes george foreman was not a properly schooled fighter in his first career but some of the **** you claimed earlier is just untrue
Fact is bowe outweigh foreman by around 20 lbs in their primes, taller and longer few inches... Obviously being the bigger man You can make excuses like Rocky fans about the weight, trimming down etc but the fact is he would be the smaller man against bowe which means he couldn't utilize his main advantage size and strength plus he is the less skilled boxer... Match up style favours bowe
Lol at your question, holyfield went on to beat tyson twice and arguably lewis once, and bowe still ko'd him in that fight, remember? Unlike foreman who got ko'd by half to death beaten ali, and knocked down by jimmy the featherfisted puncher young.. See, again you are picking the wrong arguments
No no 1. The holyfield bowe fought the 3rd time was obviously impaired and not the same man who achieved all those things 2. Which other top fighter did holyfield drop and almost stop with ONE PUNCH like that? Michael moorer? Because tyson and foreman ate a bunch of those without going to the floor lewis didn't go down either, dokes took a beating first. 3. Still think bowe had a better chin than foreman? How can bowe take foreman a punches if holyfield almost ended him with ONE PUNCH
Oh i'm tired of this and english isn't my first language so its kinda hard for me to express my thoughts... Why do you use foreman from the second career, the topic is about the young prime version, not the old one. You keep saying holyfield knocked him down and that's why foreman had the better chin? How about saying that bowe knocked down peak holyfield in their first fight and out cold in the third fight, so therefore bowe punches harder than foreman? Besides, bowe ate his punches no problem in their first two fights, and was past prime and sloppy in their third fight but still managed to get up and ko him, unlike foreman when ali knocked him down. Hell shot bowe took everything golota had and run out of gas but still kept on fighting back, Foreman was knocked down by young when he ran out of gas, imagine golota ripping those combos and nut shots at tired foreman? I don't think foreman would take it as good as bowe did. Holyfield from the bowe fights is the best hw version of him, obviously better than the version from tyson and lewis fights
