    Concerning isn’t it? Whenever a thread with Foreman is on the horizon, this guy comes out of the woodworks to disparage him, spamming post after post.

    Yeah you should go actually watch the matches you are reading stats of, I'm not arguing with a guy that argues Old Foreman and Usyk fight at the same pace because of their punch numbers lmao.

    Again you totally missed the point.

    I'm not saying old Foreman fights at the same pace as Usyk as normally.

    I'm saying in the particular fight you're mentioning by claiming "Usyk won by hitting Dubois with a million punches" or that "Usyk won by volume".

    Not only does the low impact of the punches landed contradict your statement.

    Usyk's overall thrown punches which was quite low and certainly not a high number of punches thrown also contradicts your statement.

    So maybe actually do some proper research next time instead of claiming something that isn't true.

    The fact that you and that other guy focus so much on the 2 million bit is geniunely appalling, you do you but fact of the matter is Usyk outlanded Dubois 2x. That's all I need for my argument.

    You also don't seem to understand what pace and volume are. It's not just about how many punches you throw. Usyk had Dubois chasing him around the ring all night and had him thinking and reacting the entire round with his feints. Dubois threw only 290 punches when he threw 517 against Miller because 90% of his energy went into trying to catch up to Usyk and react to his movements at all times. Against Foreman he could throw 600 if he wanted to because he'd have nothing to think about and nothing to catch up to, he has a big slow target coming to him that can't match his speed.

    The fact that you are using this match to show he has a weak heart or that Foreman would be able to test him in any way shows just how much you don't understand.

    You exaggerated an example and it got disproven you tried to exaggerate it so it suited your argument and failed.

    The fact is Dubois got hit with a low percentage of punches landed and Usyk's volume was not anything stand out.

    Dubois simply showed a lack of heart and quit after a soft jab that's pretty much all it is and no mental gymnastics is going to change that.

    No you just want to be right and have been snarky your example was wrong end of.

    If you want to believe Dubois would win that's your opinion but you don't need to make up mental gymnastics to excuse Dubois for quitting.

    What that has to do with the Usyk fight I don't know.

    The fact is he quit vs Usyk in a low impact fight end of.

    I don't even think Dubois would START boxing if Foreman would've been active in the present day
