    Axel Schulz, Lou Savarese & Crawford Grimsley are all > Razor Ruddock? *Only in Foremanland.

    Early 90's Foreman was an offensive powerhouse who could only beaten by guys with quick feet and good defense.

    Roddock gets whiplashed by Foremans jab before the trip hammer right hand puts him to sleep.

    Those names to the left are pretty lame lol, no doubt about that. But Holyfield and even Moorer > Ruddock imo.

    Did Foreman fight them in 1991?

    No, so this statement is asinine and pointless.

    Comeback Foreman exactly ko'ed ONE glass chinned ex light heavy who took a nap in his first title defense.......Foreman could never replicate against B and C level his " brutal jab" and "tripple sledgehammer" scored zip except against Moorer, one of the weak as F champs ever, barely above Seldon

    The "hardest puncher in the world" went 10 with DDD Palooka Grimsley who RIP D level Jimmy Thunder chinned in 9 sec.....

    Most posters who comment here were infants or not even born when Foreman"reign" of terror started in the late 80's, he was considered a joke and a side show, nobody took him serious, his name got him the Holyfield fight where Holy got plenty of flak for fighting a fossil, took a beating etc etc back to can crushing

    Cake is that a so called Fraud Bum Chinless wonder, according to the experts around here, Tommy Morrison almost white washed this brutal son of Thor Foreman....

    Credit to picking up a belt while stone old against the perfect handpicked opponent....zero credit for the aftermath where he rathjer got stripped before facing anybody with a pulse..........he refused to face the Ghost of Tony Tucker, who to, according to said experts was never any good , a bum and just a stooge who would get steam rolled by midget marciano but big bad Foreman was nowhere to be found facing Tucker.

    The irony.

    Another pertinent question is why Tinkerbell was getting stopped by lesser fighters than that at a much younger age than George if he was so amazing?

    In fact why was he getting ktfo as a 23 year old by a similar level fighter than that, who only separated himself from that level by virtue of hammering Tinkerbell. Other than that Douglas did **** all.

    Donovan is still being overrated I see. A guy that is so easily hit, and thinks his power is all he needs, is an absolute disaster against Foreman. He may have him moments early but eventually gets destroyed. It's plainly obvious the most vocal Razor supporters here, are the biggest Tyson fanboys on this site. hmmmmmmmm.....

    And Alex Stewart was leagues above Ruddock also, I see? Despite this thread having nothing to do with Tyson, at least the "Tyson fanboys" bring facts and figures to the argument instead of the proverbial "Foreman broke bones and made people retire!" jargon.

    This is actually spot on. Just not at Epcot grill center in Foremanland, Texas. Scratch that...Foremanland, Jupiter where Foreman's otherworldly attributes can't be seen but in the hearts and minds of fantasy fanville.

    I actually like Foreman but he was a non factor besides marketing in his comeback. he was fringe and lived off name only.

    Every single opponent was carefully hand picked and even those hand picked back fired.

    Could you imagine Holyfield/Bowe/Tyson or Lewis getting out boxed by Tommy Chin? There is a 90 % chance old Holmes beats Tommy.

    Moorer was caught napping? Uhh, absolutely not, at times he looked terrific. Foreman was getting his ass kicked. Moorer landed all kinds of excellent shots. No napping.

    I had the sound off as I was listening to the news at the same time. Moorer should of listened to his trainer

    Rudduck should beat Foreman to the punch because he's faster with better reactions at that stage of their career. He should also outwork big George, especially the longer the fight goes on. Rudduck also has the strength to not get pushed back by George. He has more power than Lyle who came close to stopping a prime Foreman.

    Past prime overweight Foreman would be a victim of the smash imo

    He was not powerful as Lyle by their KO percentage and unlike Lyle who used both hands and could fight going both ways Ruddock could not fight going backwards and If Tyson and Morrison were able to push him back I am sure that Foreman could do that to!Lyle knocked and counted only twice but Ruddock?
