Could anyone out slug young Foreman?

Lyle almost did, and Lyle wasn't a puncher on the level of some later guys. So, probably. But young Foreman would also have a good chance at winning a slugging match against most guys.

Put it this way: You probably wouldn't want to match young Foreman up with a slate of multiple punchers; he'd pick up a loss or two.

 

Would have to be someone with a huge punch and an anvil of a chin. I don’t know if we saw enough of Ike Ibeabuchi to make him a candidate but on the surface he might be a suspect

 

I like Bowes chances to out slug Foreman more than Listons.

Lewis with he uppercut would be dangerous for Foreman early.

 

Prime Tyson could be trouble based on his combination of insane speed and power. And Tyson did have an anvil for a chin.

 

Anyway, relatively large later contenders (and up) with durability, a solid punch, and stamina could do it. Ibeabuchi. Vitali. Old Foreman might, ironically. Maybe Sam Peter on a lucky night. Tua. Bowe, despite questions about durability. Evan Fields from the Tyson fight era, despite not being a huge puncher. Lamon Brewster. Maybe Dubois if his durability has gotten better since Usyk. Joshua and Wilder could win shootouts if they land first, despite not being all that durable either. Maybe Zhang; weird fight, that. Maybe Joe Joyce. Prime Chisora would be more interesting than it ought to be, considering the fighters' relative abilities overall. Mercer.

 

Wasnt prime

anyway for the answer, prolly not but id give Ike Ibeabuchi a good shot. Moreso because i think he'd outlast Foreman rather than overpowering him

 

No, but Ron Lyle almost did. They fighter needs to be able to stand up to Foreman in terms of strength and size, a Dempsey or Marciano type of guy doesn’t stand a chance.

Mike Tyson stands a chance, but I wouldn’t favour him. Some others being Bowe, Lewis, Ibeabuchi and to a lesser extent Liston and Vitali Klitschko, the latter 2 had great power and combinations, but they weren’t as good chest to chest as Bowe and Lewis or even Lyle himself in terms of shortening up punches.

 

Apart from Liston? Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe. Possibly Lennox.

I think Vitali would have been a tough fight for a young Foreman too.

 

If Lyle almost did it I imagine quite a few could. Tyson, Vitali, Wilder, Bowe. Baer and Louis maybe.

 

No one, Liston could beat Foreman only by boxing him but as Dick Saddler said "you don't come at Foreman", he said that with a reason and Dempsey said that Foreman is the strongest boxer he ever seen.

I think Tyson, Liston, Bowe, Ibeabuchi, Marciano...would put a good fight before getting KOed if they slug with Foreman, maybe even KO him down but that's it, Foreman would prevail simply because the man was force of nature, chin like a concrete, brutal punch and brutal strenght.

 

Wouldn't advise it personally..

 

Not for me. Liston might beat him but not via pure slugging.

 

Tyson. All about the speed.
