David Haye is nothing like George Foreman. Bad comparison.

You're right, sizewise Foreman is more like the '12 version of Adamek. 6'3 and 225 pounds.

 

Cleary they're nothing alike, but who the **** ever said they were?

atsch

 

Who ever said they were?!

Aside from being Black, male boxers, that's where the similarities end.

 

To me Haye seems quicker and more agile than Foreman who kind of looked robotic even in his prime. That doesn't mean that Haye would beat a prime Foreman though. I have a feeling that GF could take what DH dished out but Haye would be laying on his back with cartoon birdies circling over his head once Foreman connected with a decent right hand. Then again, it's possible Foreman may not connect--he wasn't superman.

 

What **** knuckle tried to compare David ****ing Haye to the great George Foreman??? name and shame TS

 

Current David Haye vs Foreman.
With Haye having the same height, style, power and weight as young Foreman I think it's fair to say the Haye would have put up a much better showing against Ali than "Big" George did. Ali vs "The Hayemaker" during the exact same moment in history.

With Haye being equal to all of Foreman's attributes then we also have to look at the advantages that Haye has over Foreman.

Footwork.

The characteristic footwork employed by most of the world's major boxing has changed little over the centuries, and has remained largely invariable between radically different cultures. The boxer relies on 'push stepping'. In which the leading leg advances first, then the rear, with the feet coming to rest in the exact relative position.

Rear movement is a reversal of this step, and lateral movement involves push stepping in the same fashion, with the foot closest to the desired direction stepping laterally, followed by the opposite foot, which is used to move the body.
For the pugilist, footwork is to be deft and simplistic, allowing the fighter to move in and out of striking range as quickly as possible. Footwork is key to generating sufficient power in the basic strikes shared between the major styles. During the jab, the lead foot can move forward to close distance or remain stationary. During the cross, the rear foot pivots inward to launch the rear shoulder forward, allowing the cross a good deal of its strength. During the left hook, the lead foot pivots in an inward manner to transfer bodyweight. The right hook's pivot is identical to the cross (assuming the boxer is orthodox). The lead uppercut, like the jab does not use any pivotal motion, the power comes from the transfer of bodyweight to the lead foot. The rear uppercut employs the same inward pivot as the cross. To maintain balance, both feet can step, pivot or slide as appropriate. The jab may be thrown while moving forward or backward; for the other punches it is advisable not to throw while in motion.

Head movement.

All in all I think Haye will be able to push ali to the limits but in the end lose this one on points.

 

Problem is Haye has much much more narrow shoulders and skinnier neck etc.

Like I said you could put Haye behind Foreman and you would not even be able to see him.

 

At least one objective Englishman. :good

:rofl And who looked like Golota? Or tell me an Austrian boxer who looked like Ali.

 

Haye has more athleticism in his pinky toe then Foreskin.

:yep:yep

 

Haye would potshot, outspeed and outbox foreskin's ears off.
Haye is a doctor in the sweet science, Foreman was just a brute

Prime Foreman's skill, speed and reflexes makes SNV look like Whitaker.
