    A bit of a crackpot matchup but I’m curious.

    eh who knows? Fury is easy to hit, especially at this stage in his career, but Foreman was also being too passive. When Foreman let his hands go, he hurt Young badly.

    50-50 fight. If Foreman lands, he finishes it off, but he might not land until late into the fight due to his desire to pace himself.

    This is the only version of 70's Foreman Fury has any chance against. The 73-74 Foreman would knock Fury out of the ring.

    How the hell would Foreman win this one? Lol
    He looked terrible against Young whereas Fury was solidly competitive (scored it 8-4 for U when I watched it live) against Usyk.

    Foreman never fought anything remotely like Fury so it seems like a huge leap of faith. Who did Foreman beat that resembles Fury?

    It doesn’t matter. Foreman has the right set of tools to beat someone who is as easily hit as Fury.
