Kabayel V Big George Foreman

Don't remind me...

 

Yeah, I know. Shrink Kabayel. Enlarge Foreman. Pretend Foreman is bigger and that Kabayel is Norton reduex etc.

Kabayel tko7 Foreman.

 

Foreman is twice the puncher Kabayel is. Twice at the very least. Beating a guy with the stamina of a 75 year old grandma who is a good 35 lbs overweight doesn't mean you can beat prime Foreman.

 

They might both be in their 40s have power and be durable but Zhang is not George Foreman.

Big Kabayel fan by the way think he beats Usyk.

 

You always know when there's been fights over the weekend

 

Do you know what the word "stoppage" means?

And the fact you think Chuvalo couldn't take a shot from Zhang means you think Kabayel has a better chin than Chuvalo. There is absolutely nothing on film to suggest such lunacy.

 

Well, people have quickly abandoned ship for Bakole and Zhang, as usual.

Now we're on the Kabayel hype train. It sucks for the modern boxer because I want to be a fan of some of these guys. I like what I see on film. But these weirdo forum dudes can make you not want to root for some of them because they have an agenda and then abandon the boxer the instant they lose.

Remember when people were putting Sergei Kovalev against Joe Louis?

 

He beats old Foreman if that’s what you mean, but prime Foreman, we’ll have to see how good Kabayel turns out to be.

 

Big George by bone crunching KO

 

All respect to Kabayel, love his style.
He's not surviving either young or old versions of George Foreman.
No shame in that, most fighters cant .

 

Thank Allah and Jehovah it's not just me. I've ended up having trouble rooting for lots of active fighters with these weird obsessive K-pop type fans who won't hear a word against their favourites and have to have the last word like a petulant five year old. It usually comes as a meal deal along with a petty but sometimes specious, faux-objective vindictiveness towards fighters that they take an irrational dislike to.

Hence the number of Herculean threads on here where people with otherwise good sense ought to f*ck such simpletons off early doors, but end up getting drawn in. I've been on/reading the forum for the better part of 20 years and it gets no better. I used to get wound up but usually settle these days for a quick roll of the eyes and a feeling of profound pity.

 

Fun fact: Foreman never beat a quality fighter of Kabayel's size in his entire career.

But I guess Kabayel's resume of Chisora, Zhang, Makhmudov, and Frank Sanchez somehow makes him the one with something to prove in the matchup.

 

It’d be hard to test out really who has a better chin fairly anyway let’s just say both are durable guys most likely… Kaba absorbed shots from his generations puncher (again 280lbs) no problem - Chuvalo was stopped in 4 or less by sub 220lbers one was 205lbs and fought a career of guys today who probably aren’t heavyweights, bit different.

 

Kabayel has had 26 fights, Chuvalo had 93.

Kabayel faced approximately 1 big puncher (Zhang) his whole career and went down, but credit to him for getting up and winning. Chisora can crack, but I wouldn't describe him as a big puncher.

Within those 93 fights, Chuvalo faced the likes of Foreman, Frazier, Quarry, Williams, Bonavena, Patterson, Foley, etc without even taking a knee. All of these fighters could crack and I don't think their power would increase dramatically if they spent more time at the Hong Kong buffet adding an additional 20-30 lbs to become as blubbery as some modern fighters who lack discipline.

The only other boxer with a chin as proven as Chuvalo is Oliver McCall. It's absolutely ludicrous to claim Kabayel has done enough to prove he's within the same class of durability. It really isn't hard to figure out who has the more proven chin if you have an ounce of objectivity, so I understand why this is rocket science for you.

 

Foreman's win over Frazier is better than all 4 of those names combined given Frazier was the undefeated, undisputed champion who had cleared out the division.

Someone's resume has something to prove, and it isn't Foreman.

I'm still waiting for you to concede that Foreman did in fact stop boxers early who were even tougher than Kabayel.
