    The Foreman of 1991 fights Dubois. Could Dubois beat old Foreman?

    Eh - not much between them really, Daniel’s a lot bigger, stronger and likely more powerful BUT it’s a 60-40 sort of bout for DDD - Lyle didn’t have trouble finding Foreman so it’d be a good one as Foreman wouldn’t have much trouble finding D… gun to my head probably Dubuios for being much more the physical superior.

    Dubois.

    90s Foreman didn't seem to find anyone elite without a huge size/strength advantage. At 40+ and after a decade lay-off he already gave a huge speed and mobility advantage to his opposition, he couldn't deal with losing his strength/power edge as well. Dubois has the legs, reach and the jab to out-point Foreman and is big and powerful enough to handle himself is a slugfest if he is forced to.

    I don’t know Jakey maybe that he’s 6ft5 and 248lbs of roids. Just a hunch, ol skinny, fluffy built no chested George Foreman is 30lbs short of muscle in his prime, two inches shorter.

    1991 Foreman was 6'4 260 pounds. Whatever he lacked, physical strength and punching power wasn't it. Personally, I think comeback Foreman, particularly the 88-92/93 version was more physically powerful than 70s Foreman.

    He was not 6ft4 more like 6 2-3 and he was fat AF - stronger then 70s Foreman absolutely… but stronger then Dubious? I’m skeptical looking at the two guys LOL - look at him in his comeback at 235lbs he looked soft still… Dubios is MUCH bigger.

    Really tricky stylistic match-up for Foreman.

    Dubois wouldn't be bullied here as he is physically a monster that has a decent enough jab to trouble Foreman.

    Think Dubois would play it safe though and get the decision but Dubois could possibly stop Foreman.

    Please, Foreman could lightly touch him and Dubois would fake a KO

    I never thought I would see anybody describe Big George as ' skinny,fluffy built no chested '.I presume you are saying this tongue-in-cheek.Otherwise mate, seriously,what is it with you and
    Big George ?

    Foreman looked solid in the Holyfield fight. He wasn't a ripped Adonis, but he was solid as hell.

    It’s basically tongue in cheek yeah, he’s a small HW but he’s not small compared to a normal guy. I do have a cob on for 70d Foreman basically he’s the most hysterically overrated HW on this forum and is mostly a myth.
