    I don't think this is much of a contest to be honest. Foreman can't be pushed back. Ali absorbed exceedingly violent body shots by leaning on the ropes and he had the rare genetic gift of taking body shots.

    Fury is going to be backed up and unlike Wilder, Foreman has a strong chin. Also Foreman hits hard with both hands - jab, left hook, left uppercut, straight right, looping right and right uppercut. The second that he catches Fury, Tyson will be in big trouble.

    Foreman tko 5. I could see Fury giving Holmes a tough fight but not Foreman.

    Tyson Fury couldn't handle Usyk's power and was almost stopped. Fury couldn't push Usyk back. Foreman by early round knockout. Old Foreman would also stop Fury.

    While I agree with your post, I can't see how Wilder doesn't have a strong chin. He took some hellascious shots from Fury in their third bout, before succumbing to due to exhaustion.

    Fury would make George look plodding until he found his range,after he did Fury would be in for a very painful evening.

    Wilder has a good chin and a fighting heart to back it.

    We should talk about how Golovkin beats Louis.

    I quite honestly have no idea where you're going with this.

    I agree. I found myself screaming "How is Wilder still standing" in that third bout when he just refused to go down, despite taking an insane amount of punishment, and being completely gassed.

    Unfortunately, it seems like those fights took quite a bit out of both men.

    Usyk is not the same fighter as Foreman is where I'm going with this. And for Foreman in this matchup, size matters more for him than for Usyk.

    I disagree but fair point.
