    This is Bakole vs someone about 20lbs heavier all in muscle then O’Hallaran but 2 inches shorter then Foreman just a dense specimen on all the PED’s…

    Physically and visually it would be overwhelming and absurd to see Foreman stand in the ring with MB a guy when he’s in his ideal shape weights about 260-280lbs… guys Foreman ain’t ya daddy he don’t need to be the worlds strongest man lmao.

    George was the far greater fighter and would knock him out with not too much effort.

    No. A nobody who has accomplished nothing in this sport and has not demonstrated any of the intrinsic abilities of a good fighter is in no position to F up any all time great heavyweight champion. We know what happens when Foreman gets hit hard on the chin. The opposite is unknown.

    He was almost destroyed by Lyle… in Rd1 he only has to be better than Ronnie.

    LOL! MB is at least 50 lbs overweight and is a lowly skilled fighter. Lyle was far more skilled and actually accomplished something in the sport of boxing. Prime Foreman knocks MB out within two rounds.

    Really based on? Ken Norton and Joe Frazier? - No Lyle would be orbited by Bakole, not a hard fight we’d actually all call Bakole a fraud if he fought someone the size of Lyle who was known to run right at you and punch it out… “he’s fighting primitive Cruisers!” We’d never stop hearing, same with Foreman, if Ali man handled and snapped Foreman’s head back what would Bakole do? Have you ever seen George adapt to a good fighter with the length and height of Bakole? No.

    O'Halloran match is a really important one in Foreman's career imo, it perfectly shows that Foreman can change his style and fight effectively against someone bigger than him as well.

    Yeah a really big can of tomato’s made him swap up his game… imagine if that was a real fighter just an inch or two taller and about 30lbs heavier then JH.

    It's certainly not unverifiable.

    So do you normally get into he habit of slandering boxers and then backing off when people ask you to back it up? I mean you did this with Ken Norton too. You claimed Anderson was on roids and now you are trying to fade into the wind.

    Edit: just saw you slandered Bakole too. You disrespect people all the time and then wonder why they aren't fond of you as if this is a Sherlock Holmes mystery.

    Slander? YES it is, Saying a professional athlete is likely on steroids is shader BUT are you just gullible? Anderson’s on the juice, Norton and Bakole too… at a minimum more than likely… they’d be unwise not to be lol oh God I called them unwise too now, sorry about that GCC I forget you and Norton were so close… wanna explain to me why you’ve called Rex Layne a bum in the past and “back it up”? (The leading contender…) See how stupid that is? You’re being pedantic, it’s a nerdy niche section of a boxing forum… we have like two? people involved in boxing… Bakole I assure you, the millionaire athlete doesn’t give a solitary F we are “slandering” him.

    Ali was a smarter fighter than Foreman. But he even admitted that he wasn’t as strong.
