    Jimmy Young actually beat WORLD CLASS heavyweight contenders. Who has Francis ever beaten inside a pro boxing ring? NOBODY.

    And let me guess that he was in his PRIME right?
    And George came back and WON the heavyweight title at an OLDER AGE then he was did he not?
    Two different levels of boxers.

    It wasn't a prime Wlad but he was a massive favourite and still looked formidable as we saw against AJ later on.

    Old George would lose wide to Joshua. And he might lose ro him in his prime too.

    Didn’t read the description, yes, that would most likely be disastrous to fight Foreman like that.

    I don't know, but for h2h he has to be top twenty. Everyone has been tearing him apart since he lost the title to Usyk, but he was 9-1 in title fights before that, which doesn't happen often.

    Yeah a 2 time heavyweight champion and 9 wins in world title fights is something not many have done.

    I would give him a chance if we're talking about comeback Foreman but it's still too early to call.

    Anyone that can punch I would be nervous putting Anthony in with.

    The only guys he fought since stepping up to Whyte who were short on power were Franklin, Molina, and Wallin. I'd imagine Foreman was fighting much lighter hitters on average in either phase of his career.

    Kabayel was tanking heavy shots from Zhang until he got caught on the chin. Even then, he seemed fine when he got back up and got back to it.

    In my eyes, he just raised his stock when it comes to going in against punchers.

    **** time to be a puncher at HW right now, with Parker and Kabayel coming in hot.
