¿Who was physically stronger between George Foreman and Jack Johnson?

The one whose arms/legs/abdomen etc is stronger. Weight could tell you whose stronger, but again that's not the end all be all.

It's very obvious you've never grappled a day in your life.

 

Concession accepted.

Anderson would recognize my brother the instant you show him a photo. They were in the same gym together for 2 years training constantly.

 

Touche. I shall have to consult the forum on how to respond.

 

I mean you can literally see he’s a muscular guy… I really don’t get the issue here, he’s built like Ray Williams or whatever his name is and a lot of other power fatties (Powerlifters) he’s a PED munching, football player built, weightlifting modern guy.

 

Well, it just so happens that I’ve seen a photo of Jack Johnson holding a midget (or should I say Little Person?) up high above his head with just one hand. End of.

 

Very nice but irrelevant to the thread - basically a pointless nearly unverifiable flex lol. I was obviously kidding if you didn’t pick up on that.

 

The car thing ain’t impressive… seriously, I’m not just having a “cob” here Foreman was a strong guy but that’s not some mind shattering feat of strength please go push your car in neutral… not much strength required, go do it for distance and well it’s a feat of endurance?

 

this is Foreman vs a 235lbs HW JH who is shorter then Bakole and much, much lighter… absolutely DWARFED

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.

 

Nah he’d get F’d up bad.

 

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.

 

WAIT! We DO KNOW what happens when MB gets hit on the chin! He gets knocked out! LOL

 

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

 

Somebody should track down all of O'Halloran's fights against name 70s fighters to see how they'd actually adapt to a man that size. Even a not very good one.

It's actually interesting footage. Foreman shows that he can move his head, jab, and box on the retreat a little. (His speed seems better than usual, but that might be the quality of the film, plus youth.) And he even "handfights" at a couple points, though I leave it up to you to assess how effectively he does that.

On the other hand, Foreman doesn't just walk forward with his mummy guard and shove O'Halloran backwards. It seems clear enough that he can't. He doesn't look like an advancing wall against O'Halloran; doesn't manhandle him in the clinches. And Foreman's punches, while hard, do not look like they're having quite the same impact as against somebody like Norton. His physicality actually does seem to help him, to a degree, but it's not doing the work that it did against men his own size. He isn't spending the whole fight marching forward, although it does look like O'Halloran tries to back off more and more as he realizes how hard Foreman can hit.

 

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.
