Anthony Joshua vs 1974 George Foreman

Foreman even in His mid 40s had a Chin of Granite TKOd once in over 70 Fights.......And someone picked Joshua to TKO Foreman....Go figure.!!!

 

Joshua wasn’t anywhere near his peak when he fought Wlad. He’s still not in his prime. @fistsof steel

 

He is nearly 31 When will His prime be.?

 

Just shows how bias your being. AJ would have no problem beating a past prime Ali. Also yes he went down from a perfect right hand from arguably the hardest puncher in heavyweight history, that automatically means foreman wins? Remember foreman was breached and lost to light punching Jimmy Young, I think it’s safe to say that it is very possible that foreman could get dropped by Wlad. Also did you really think I meant AJ would win with just a jab? AJ is much more skilled than foreman when it comes to pure boxing and knows how to pace himself unlike prime foreman. Also foreman was always hittable. No way he can make the distance with his untreated stamina problems and being an easy target against a super heavyweight power puncher who can box and throw quick combinations. Not surprised by your statements though, I actually expect to read some bias and nostalgic replies in threads about a classic fighter. In all honesty to say Joshua has zero chance against these classic guys is just ridiculous. I bet you also think Rocky Marciano clears out today’s heavyweight division as well

 

George Foreman is George Foreman AJ is AJ one wins the title in there forties the other nearly loses it to someone who is in there forties.

 

Let’s be honest, as much as I love foreman and rank him at top 5 because he got the title at his age, he won the lottery with a chinny light heavyweight being the champ at the time.

 

That Chinny Light Heavyweight Took the world Title off Evander Holyfield at in His previous fight......Moorer had 52 Fights and was TKOd 3 Times that in itself I think is not what I would call Chinny.!!!!

 

Moorer fought at LHW yes but he was a boiled down CW this is a fact, another fact is he went to war with Bert Cooper and came out on top in a slugfest with nearly a half dozen knockdowns heart takes you only so far his chin was solid.

He also beat Evander quite badly, don’t bring up the rematch he was done by then be real and it was three years after the fact Evander can make up as many excuses as he wishes he was whipped by prime MM.

MM was legit and Foreman took him out close to or in his prime, he’s also better then any scalp on AJs resume by leaps and bounds.

 

He also lost to a dwarf don’t gimme that 6ft2 BS either Ruiz is 5ft11 barely 6ft in shoes he was a tubby fattened up CW and he made AJ quit imagine what Foreman could do to the pompous fake robot.

 

Could you imagine what Moorer or Foreman would have done to the Fat overweight unfit Mexican in Ruiz.....It's almost comical the People on this forum Over Rate this lot of Heavyweights.....The Scary thing is Ruiz has a live chance against any of the Top 5 at the moment.!!!

 

Andy is a disgrace and so are the top five they duck and weave away from legacies like the plague.

 

Foreman bounces Joshua off the canvas like a ping pong ball.

 

You have no room to be accusing a poster of bias, when you yourself are unable to address the fact that Ali went on the next year to perform and win at the highest level.

LOL - If you are seriously suggesting that Joshua beats Zaire Ali, then you just flushed your credibility down the toilet, right there^. Congratulations.

I've never made such a case so, why are you bringing this up?

Joshua, got beaten up by a guy of no note, in Ruiz. Literally - beaten up. This event is far more relevant to the question at hand.

Foreman met Young in '77.

Anything is possible but, not only do I care little for the Joshua/Wlad bout as evidence, I'm also more interested in likelihoods. And, it's more likely that '74 Foreman would have caned that old version of Wlad into submission - and in short order.

I asked you how Joshua would try to outbox Foreman. All you came back with, in terms of addressing that question was some comment about Joshua's jab being stuck in Foreman's face. What is special about Joshua's Jab? What else is there?

What makes Joshua better than Norton, Ali, Lyle and Young ? You don't seem to be able to string a case together. Sweeping statements like, "AJ is much more skilled than foreman" is just unsubstantiated bias, on your part. Where's the corroboration to support that statement?

Who has Joshua tested these superior skills against? Why did they fail him against a guy he took, in order to avoid his premier rivals; a guy who was supposed to be a walkover?

Quick combinations? Joshua was closed down, out-sped and overpowered by a gloved Weeble.

You're further showing your true colors here. A modernist, who favors the modern boxer, despite the fact, in this case, Joshua has somehow managed, for whatever reason, to avoid fighting his major rivals in the division and got utterly spanked by a clear underdog in the process.

No bias is necessary from me. The case for Joshua is not strong. He is not in Foreman's league. Joshua has not fought anything like the level of competition Foreman did. Quite oppositely, he has lost and been made to look questionable against much lesser competition.

It's not hard to make a case for Foreman. All the available evidence weighs in his favor. Simply put, he has the stronger performances and better wins.

 

LOL!
