    LOL

    You have to be the biggest troll idiot to ever pollute this forum. Even you don’t believe this tripe.

    DDD has a more proven chin than George Foreman??? Yeah proven to be about 1million times worse. Dropped and quit by a jab from Usyk, one punch KO’D now by the same, dropped by a jab and quit against Joe bloody Joyce, dropped 3 times in the first round and lucky not to be stopped by Kevin Larena who possesses a sub 50% KO ratio and with 3 stoppage losses in 25 fights all by age 27 his supposed “prime”.

    Foreman was stopped once in 80 fights by Muhammad Ali over two careers fighting until he was nearly 50. You really should be banned for insulting anyone’s intelligence with a ****ing morons statement like that.

    But it’s par for the course with you isn’t it? You’ve gone that far down this particular GF hating rabbit burrow that you can’t turn back now despite how stupid and unhinged it makes you look.

    Oh wow somebody’s offended about a boxing opinion lol a very niche one, I can’t even question GF’s chin now let’s phrase it correctly - “I think the guy who gets punched in the head by bigger fighters who can punch on PED’s and shows more resilience has a better chin then a guy who in his prime years was almost wrecked by Ron Lyle”

    Dubois isn't taking the big shots Holyfield took In his fight with '91 Foreman, so yes that version of Foreman knocks his block off.

    Yeah, Foreman has a better chin than Dubois. Lyle isn't on par with Usyk as far as overall skill, but he did hit harder and Foreman took everything he had and came back to win. Usyk and Holyfield were probably comparable punchers as far as power is concerned and Foreman took everything Holyfield could throw.

    To be honest, the shots Lyle dropped Foreman with would have finished Dubois.

    What Morrison, Holyfield, Stewart and Briggs weren’t on PED’s when they were bouncing shots off Foreman’s head (to little or no effect) in the 1990’s the halcyon years for PED’s?

    Thats the thing. DDD has shown little no no resilience in taking punches or fighting through adversity. You can post some cute clips of him getting love tapped by a non punching spud blubber ball like Miller but that prove squat.

    Why would I be offended by your post? You’re the one who has made himself look dumb. Any rational unbiased poster can see what you’re trying to do and can see through this ridiculous flim flam argument about “the quality and proof” of DDD ‘s chin next to Foreman’s.

    Whenever someone calls you out on your idiotic troll posts you revert to the “oh look I’ve offended someone” trope. Makes me think you have this as a prearranged default response to double down on your prearranged GF schtick. Pretty boring and predictable. Unfortunately for you Foremsn was a far, far better fighter than you are a troll so your rhetoric gets mostly the short shrift it deserves.

    Renowned punchers Stewart and Holyfield? - Morrison was on the back foot running from an old man, Briggs also elected to try and box… neither were slugging matches or FIGHTS brother, Foreman also had a very good defence and survival aptitude, Now how about PRIME Foreman’s feats with his chin? Let’s hear it, let’s not overlook he was almost creamed by a cruiserweight sized guy that if DDD fought we’d call him a cherry picking fraud etc. Lyle showed us basically the limit of his chin where he was teetering on the edge of unconsciousness.

    Holyfield and Usyk had similar punching power. Not ATG power but hurtful enough to hurt modern sized heavies. I can picture Holyfield stopping Dubois in 5. That's not a far fetched scenario.

    That goes double for Lyle. Assuming Lyle lands the same punches on Dubois he landed on Foreman, I don't think Dubois would make it.

    Usyk just stopped Dubois in 5. Prime Holyfield had a similar skill level to Usyk and they had similar punching power. I give Holyfield the edge in hand speed. I can definitely see Holyfield's patented counter right laying Dubois down.

    Lyle, though not as skilled as Usyk or Holyfield was a heavier puncher. He seemed to hit harder than Usyk or Holyfield. He definitely would have the power to stop Dubois. The skill? Debatable.

    I’ll be real I haven’t seen the recent Usyk fight, I knew he’d beat the F out of DDD and didn’t wanna waste the money.

    He really walked into those shots and help Usyk out… am I blind or did that left hand land on Daniel’s ear area? - I can’t replay the vid atm.
