Which pressure fighter has the best chance against George Foreman?

Tua would get owned by Foreman's jab. That's one fight that Foreman was looking for in the late 90s.

 

I don’t know why but I think that Lamon Brewster vs prime George might be an entertaining fight. Of course I’d pick George to win and rightfully so but I think Brewster might give a good account of himself.

BTW there are other guys on that list I’d give a better change to against Foreman. I just thought that fight would be interesting

 

Holyfield

 

Mickey Walker deserves a mention.

 

I agree with this, except that in no way is Tua a SHW.
Which needs to be a combination of height & lean weight.
Even if we just took his fit weight-which would not fit any rational definition of SHW-Tua was in the mid 220's when in his best shape, like against Ike.

What Tua was-heavily muscled.
Liste at 5' 9", manbe 5' 9" without the hair, he was very powerful without needing bodybuilding or steroids to get that big.

 

I give Tyson a 35-40% chance as mentioned in the other thread.

Brewster has a tiny 5% window if Foreman gets overly anxious and gasses out. Big if. But Brewster was, if nothing else, a very brave and tough fighter with respectable power of his own.

Tua may last to the 7th or so because he had a cinder block for a head and has underrated defense, but at some point the ref would have to stop it, might look similar to the Chuvalo fight. Or Tua goes into his shell and makes it the final bell.

The rest get thrashed within 5 or less.

 

I thought it just had to do with weight. SHW in my eyes is just 225 or above

 

Foreman beats them all

 

No, even in the old daaaaze those described as SHW-or that he use that designation about now-are normally at least 6' 4" & at very minimum in the 230's lean.
Otherwise anyone chubby or fat enough could be SHW size, such as Andy Ruiz-or numerous fat guys in the street, lol!
SHW is also about the challenge & impact of facing someone tall & long.

Someone like Douglas likely would just make it on both accounts.
So for example Jeffries while large for his time-especially in muscle-or Morrison would not qualify.

Ruddock & Foreman would be close, although both just a bit shorter, & Foreman would come in as low as 217 & 220 (Thrilla in Manilla), although without Sadler's loopy dehydration he was-as in some later fights in his first career-over 230.

 

Didn't Ruddock come into the 2nd Mike Tyson Fight at 238 ?

 

Ab-solutely Markus!
I am saying her was 6' 3", so may fall just "short" in that way.
Although in wight, muscle mass & long arms he qualified, so this was an example of a borderline case.

 

Only Mike Tyson has a chance but even he himself doesn't believe he could win.

 

"Which pressure fighter has the best chance against George Foreman"

-None!
like you already described...Foreman massacres pressure fighters! Thats why i chose Tyson.
With his speed and peek-a-boo style, he can outmaneuver and counter Foreman's fists. A focused prime Tyson, who boxed concentrated and doensn't overpace, not forcing the KO, could outbox Big George and land some bomb hits occasionally

Only prime Mike Tyson has a real chance, the rest are lol.

 

I thought this ....from time...to time......
