    250lb vs 220lb. There's a big difference in size so Foreman just can't bully him like he did to light heavyweights in his day and Chisora probably hits harder due to evolution and size. Foreman didn't like that Ron Lyle fight because of his size and power and Chisora is a better version of Lyle. This would be fairly difficult fight for little george

    Another great thread.

    Chisora is garbage and is 250lbs because he’s overweight. Foreman destroys him quicker and more easily than David Haye did.

    One fighter was an all time great. The other a career gate keeper.

    Chisora was 6'2 250-260 overweight on a 6'2 frame. Foreman 6'3 -6'4 stats vary. 215-220 solid muscle. Foreman is the one who's in shape. Extra fat doesn't mean your stronger lol.
    I wasn't aware evolution can make you hit harder so please explain.
    Even a casual knows George hit harder.
    As far as Lyle he was also stronger and hit harder than Chisora. I believe George could have taken Lyle out easier if it weren't for Clancey tinkering with Foremans style. In reality it would have been an easy night's work for Foreman. Boxing skills have not improved in the last 40 or so yrs they have declined in my opinion.

    Chisora is not garbage at all, he's been a good heavyweight, far better than his record suggests.

    But Foreman is an ATG so this is obviously a troll thread.

    Bloody hell, this would be a painful beating for Chisora.

    Foreman is one of the worst possible matchups for a come forward heavy weight.
    George stops him between 3-6 rounds.

    You really think Chisora is a better version of Lyle? I vehemently disagree

    13 losses in less than 50 fights. He’s mediocre at best.

    Chisora may be bigger but Foreman was far more powerful and better in every way. 90's Foreman would have smashed Chisora as well. For the record, I like Chisora but I don't think he was better than Ryle Lyle either. Lyle only lost to Quarry, Shavers, Young and Ali in his prime. He would have been a world champion in a lot of different era's.

    The greatest satire is satire that goes undetected by the masses.

    I think Lyle would have knocked him out

    Chisora is made to order for Foreman. Any Foreman up to the Briggs fight would blast Chisora out of his trunks.

    If 219 pound Foreman beat 246 pound Mel Turnbow in the first round by TKO, no doubt Chisora would make it past the 3rd.
