I tend to agree with you. Bonecrusher beat Witherspoon, Weaver, and Bruno. Old Foreman pretty much only beat Moorer, with no chance left to win a decision, so it's hard to regard him as highly as a prime Bonecrusher.
comeback George lost to Tommy Morrison and barely scraped by Alex Stewart. His credentials are pretty underwhelming. If he is so formidable why is he losing to the likes of Morrison and Schulz? Foreman was very carefully matched in his comeback.
He also beat Moorer and gave a prime version of Evander a hard fight. AJ recently lost to Andy Ruiz where he was knocked down 4/5 times. Neither guy is invincible. George had the better chin and he was more composed. AJ has the better skills and speed, but he’s more vulnerable. AJ can tire quickly and lose composure when he’s hit and hurt. It would have been a very interesting fight. Again, AJ would had to have employed the tactics that he used against Ruiz in the rematch.
LOL at just all of this hyperbole. Evander could not move a lot of guys despite being stronger then them because he was often outweighed by 20 odd lbs. Yes Georges strength was legendary in the 70s a time with very little strength training and smaller HWs he was manhandled by Ali and Lyle and shoved around a small Frazier... in the 90s he was bullying the little guys in nearly every fight but Cooney. Strength really isn't at all a factor but saying Foreman was stronger then AJ is hilarious. For God sake you could pull a jeep it is mostly show.
Ha! And your posts are filled full of facts aren’t they. Let’s ignore what Evander said who also fought the likes of Lennox twice, and instead look at the big guy with the muscles. He lifts huge weights you know. Brilliant. Case closed. Yeah, I’m sure that any of us could pull a jeep. SMH. Saying that Foreman is stronger than AJ isn’t hilarious. What’s hilarious, is you claiming that he definitely wasn’t because AJ lifts weights. Again, I’ll take the word over legendary fighters and trainers, over a bodybuilder who got blown out by Andy Ruiz.
Foreman wasn’t manhandled by Ali. Ali took him out after he’d completely emptied his tank in the humidity of Zaire. He didn’t over power him. He employed master tactics and then took advantage.
Unless Aj blows out his gas tank in the early rounds like a complete idiot then he wins a decision easily though he might get stunned once or twice
Foreman (Holyfield / Moorer Version) by One Punch Knockout in Round 10. Foreman by far stronger , by far bigger , with way better Jab , Skills and also greater Stamina. Foreman against Holy was 257 lb , in which Universe is Joshua the bigger man? Joshua is a stick next to Foreman. Foreman with real Fighting Power Muscles against Gym , Bodybuilder Muscles without oxygen.
Why? Foreman worked out with weights in his second career and he was considerably bigger than Joshua.
Eh no i don't agree, Foreman was probably stronger but Aj has the height and reach to work off of a jab and the far superior speed to constantly counter Foreman. Joshua doesn't have to keep a constant high workrate rate either. He can pace himself better now than he could earlier on against Klitschko and Takam. There is no such thing as "Holyfield/Moorer version of Foreman, those 2 versions of Foreman are the same Foreman that got his face boxed off by glass chin Tommy Morrison and earned a close decision against Alex Stewart. Holyfield brawled with Foreman which played into Foremans hands and Moorer got overconfident because Foreman wanted him too. If Aj gets overconfident or overworks himself he could very well get KO'd by old Foreman, but if he keeps his construct and fights cautiously then i favor the bodybuilder. also if 6'5, 230lb Savarese didn't look like a stick against Foreman than how would Joshua ? lol
I'd favor Joshua. A couple of years ago I'd have said it was either 50/50 or slightly in Foreman's favor but lately Joshua is starting to look like a well rounded boxer. He's got a good jab, better lateral movement (crucial for this matchup), can mix it up in the inside, and is a good combination puncher. The only thing I'd be worried about is Joshua's lack of head movement and stamina. He better not just stand there ring center and get greedy throwing several shots at a time with his feet planted, he is not hard to hit when he's flat footed. If he can stick to a smart game plan, I'd see him taking a comfortable decision. Doubt he'd be able to stop old George tho, he took bombs from Morrison, Stewart, Briggs, etc without even taking a knee. George would likely get frustrated if he couldn't establish his own jab and had to keep walking around the ring following Joshua and being blasted by heavy clubbing shots that may rival his own. He's not used to facing a taller guy with long arms.
I told yall that Big George Foreman could whip Anthony Joshua. Usyk is the same exact height as Old Foreman and he completely schooled Joshua.
People will be quick to dismiss Joshua now, but he is no joke. He was consistently fighting and beating men ranked in the top ten, which neither Fury nor Wilder were. He could have got out of the Usky fight just by dropping the WBO. He didn't lose to Usky because he was bad, he lost because Usky was good!
