If the young George Foreman had faced all the oppenent s in his second career, how does he fare? Can you imagine Holyfield having to make his first defense against the young, hungry for blood Foreman!?
Hm interesting question. Holy maybe still decisions him but young george I think stops morrison. Hell I still wonder how Tommy made it through that whole fight considering he was ko by lesser punchers
@Fergy There´s your data. Thats how good the Legend of aging Foreman was..... https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/70s-foreman-vs-90s-foreman-opposition.662115/ Old Foreman: 5 stoppages out of 13. Young George: Maybe all but 2 or 3 .....
I've wondered what a Holyfield - Young Foreman would go like George. There's a danger that Holy goes to trade, could be big mistake. George would be throwing bomb s like crazy but hed be faster. But if he doesn't go silly and. Fights a sensible fight, then we could see Foreman being stopped in the late rounds. Idk, it's one of those fights where everything could fly out of the window.
He destroyed Frazier twice who is in the top 10 ever. He would have destroyed all of them except for Holyfield... even if a Foremans win with him for KO wouldnt surprise me.
Got a strong feeling Evander would turn him into mince meat, for all his strength he is not taking Holy out or outlasting him it is a privilege Ali enjoyed if you can't box for 12 rounds you simply can't win.
He destroyed Frazier cause the stylistic matchup favored him, it doesn't mean he can do the same to others. Plus, Frazier is top 10 only in terms of achievements, not H2H ability. Holyfield will always beat him.
Cause those lesser punchers managed to connect clean, while Foreman didn't. Any version of Foreman will have trouble connecting.
Please, Holyfield hit Foreman with everything but the kitchen sink and George went no where. Young Foreman was far quicker and faster, and Foreman's ability to cut the ring off is vastly underappreciated . George corners Evander and nails him , that's when Holyfield starts fighting back with the most powerful heavyweight champion in history , when did he ever not engage in a brawl when nailed? Foreman by KO inside 5...... perhaps in the next thread we'll see how Vinnie Pazienza would still beat a 26 year old Duran
I'd favour Foreman over all of them with Holyfield being his toughest test. Holyfield would have a good chance of beating Foreman, but not the 91 version of Holyfield (who was too willing to trade & that'd spell disaster for him). The cagey, old-school veteran version of Holyfield from 93 onwards could definitely pull it off though & even potentially stop Foreman. 50/50 fight.
I strongly doubt fighters like Cooney, Moorer, Briggs (Foreman was robbed) and others who lost with an old George or even won (like Morrison) can create too many troubles for the most ferocious and powerful fighter in boxing history before Tyson. As to Young Foreman v Holyfield Is a 65/35 bout imo.
