A PRIME GEORGE FOREMAN,JOE FRAZIER AND SONNY LISTON IN THE MODERN ERA (90s and 00s)

Discussion in 'Classic Boxing Forum' started by combatesdeboxeo, Oct 30, 2010.

  1. tommy like i said, old foreman weighed 257 pounds and he had better stamina than a prime george foreman (220-230).
    The weight is not matter, because george did not train his stamina in his prime, he was focused in his power.

    Has in physically, i mean in clinches and actual physical strength. Foreman himself said numerous times that Lewis would have picnic with him. If they fought 3 times i would give George 1 victory at best.

    Yeah Old George foreman also had a lot of fat though. And he had better stamina when he was old because he paced himself more. If he had gone the same pace that he went in the 70s then he would have tired way quicker.
    The weight does infact matter. That's why he gased very badly because he always had stamina problems.
     
  4. not, tyson wasn´t naturally bigger than frazier, he was more muscular yes, but frazier had big bones. A prime joe frazier would be a great fighter too in 216-220 as tyson

    [/dm]Exactly it is by far better to be naturally athletic and to fight has close as possible to your optimum weight.
     
  6. foreman said too he was scared of joe frazier and he destroyed joe twice.
    Foreman was being humble and nice. An aggressive and prime george foreman would eat lennox lewis for breakfast lmao.
    Foreman had more strength than lewis in any area

    When we've all seen guys like Jameel McCline and Michael Grant and Mount Whitaker that look like unbeatable hulks turn out to be total bums, all that extra weight in muscle doesn't amount to **** in a real fight.[/quote]
    I have to agree, that 95% of the time this is the case.

    Ah ah Lmao is it really that funny. Obviously there is a bit of biased in your opinion. But everyone to their own. Personally i think Lewis would have a field day with young George and those wide punches he through, the old George would of been butchered. IMHO

    OLD FOREMAN 90-91 WHO FACED COONEY AND `PRIME HOLYFIELD WOULD GIVE THE HELL TO LEWIS, EVANDER HAD IRON CHIN TO TAKE THE BOMBS OF GEORGE, LENNOX WAS A GREAT BOXER NO DOUBT ON IT, BUT HE DIDN´T HAVE GREAT CHIN. HE WAS HURT SERIOUSLY BY FRANK BRUNO AND he was KOd by rahman and oliver

    LENNOX LEWIS WEIGHED 220-230 POUNDS IN HIS PRIME, HE WEIGHED 245 POUNDS IN HIS LATE 30s HE HAD 15-20 POUNDS OVER WEIGHT

    I think it's possible one of these could make the top-10.
