    I think Fury antagonizes him and whoops him better than Ali did.


    Fun fact... Pre Retirement George was 6’3”and 218-220lbs. Around the same size as “Too small for Fury and the big heavyweights doe!” Usyk will be at HW.

    Foreman from 1972 ?

    I think the big gypsy gets smoked.

    Really?! I think Fury’s reach, range, weight and boxing IQ would traumatize George into having another post fight spiritual experience.

    The event you speak of happened AFTER Ali broke Foreman's aura of monster invincibility.

    !972 Foreman suffered from no such propensities.

    Foreman smash, if you can get Furry in the ring with him by some miracle.

    https://images.app.goo.gl/naHUJgEYqqGkwdk99 Here is Tyson fury with 6 ft 8 price, fury is 6ft 7 at best , (fury’s height biggest myth in boxing) George is more 6ft4 than 6ft3 so height difference only around 3 inch, nothing. Especially when you consider fury spends most of his time on the ropes bending down to slip shots nullifying his height. Foreman against Lyle was a trained down 226lbs he could easily have come in around 235-240 lbs and because he was never a dancing master it wouldn’t have harmed him in this fight, the problem Tyson has is he doesn’t have the power to deter George, so George walks him down and where Cunningham puts him down George probably puts him through the canvas.I don’t think it bodes well for Tyson. also tyson looks fast when fighting 240-260 slow as molasses modern heavies, but in reality against a 220-235 conditioned fighter with immense power and a great chin it wouldn’t look so impressive imo.

    Price is obviously taller than billed.

    See, we can do that too.

    What 6ft 10 ,Tyson’s supposed to be 6 ft 9 price is clearly an inch taller I don’t think so, do you really?https://images.app.goo.gl/eT5WdGZN2TVLPmsx7 This is Lennox 6ft 5 next to price

    Foreman destroys him, early. This would be fraud Wilder he'd share the ring with, but a REAL HW puncher.

    Fury would dominate 1970s Foreman. Fury is too big, too quick, too much skill, too much stamina, too much everything. Foreman has NOTHING in common with Usyk other than size, Usyk might beat Fury but that doesn't mean the slow moving, ponderous, stamina challenged Foreman would. Fury is not unbeatable, but a small, slow, fighter who lacks stamina won't be the guy who beats him.
