    Lol Foreman got tired in 1 fight because he threw tons of punches. Foreman was extremely quick on his feet. Great at cutting off the ring. Had a great jab. A quick powerful uppercut. The only punch Foreman threw wide was his hooks. But pretty much every heavyweight puncher who was 6'3 230 pounds threw their hooks wide too.

    Foreman would destroy Anthony Joshua. Hell even a fat old Foreman would of knocked out Joshua.

    If by "finish line" you mean the afterlife... then yes, AJ makes it to the finish line against Foreman.

    Better yet , how long would Ruiz last against a 25 year old George Foreman? I suspect about the time it takes to fry an egg
