90s Comeback Foreman -Is Wilder Too Live For Him?

Because Foreman had no timing, right? Give me a break

 

Wilder's resume is puke. The name guys he fought (none of whom were all that special) all whipped his arse.

He was a hype fraud .

 

That's entirely possible. I was never really sold on Wilder as a boxer. Old Foreman is as slow AF but he's got stacks of power with which to hurt a dude.

 

Aside from the heavyweight champion of the world who took it off Holyfield, no one.

However this was mostly by design and he even discussed it in those HBO shows that followed his comeback. Big George was out of shape, fat and slow without his timing. He needed rounds with guys that didn't really pose a threat. (Tyson Fury did the same thing)

Foreman was also smart enough to know if blasted out guys no one would want to fight him. Now, I'm not saying he could have knocked out any of people he didn't, just saying that after spending a good chunk of his life boxing, Foreman probably knew he only had one good real fight left in him.

"It happened!!!" -Jim Lampley

 

It sounds more impressive than it actually is when you put it like that. Win itself is a great accomplishment for Foreman but lets not sit here and act as if KO’ing Moorer is a sign of super-duper power.

Alex Stewart went to distance with Foreman. So did Morrison. Nothing Foreman did in his comeback points to him being capable of KO’ing Wilder. Zhang has way more proven KO power from his demolition of Joe Joyce and Fury had to land a million flush uppercuts and hooks on Wilder to finally get him out.

 

His timing existed, but at the speed of morphine.

 

So nobody. (By design though!)

Moorer would last three rounds tops with Ortiz and also meet the canvas off a counter by Stiverne.

 

So Foreman has more arrows in his quiver?

 

I’m undecided. Yes we all know foreman was the greater fighter and was very much a force even in the 90s. But wilder had the chin to take his punches. The power to hurt him back. Excellent conditioning. And the height and reach.

 

If the physical tactics of Fury had Wilder stumbling around like a new born colt. Imagine what Foreman, even the 90's version would do to him?
Wilder can't fight tactically, because his skill level is novice level.
His punching power is good, but when most of his opponents can't spell "Parry" or "ride the punch" much less actually do it in a fight , his power could be very overrated.
Wilder has good hand speed, however he telegraphed his biggest punch, a fighter like Foreman would see that coming a mile away.
In his 90's version Foreman arguably absorbed better power from Stewart or Morrison.
And those two boxers actually had some skills.
Foreman would pressure Wilder, push him off balance any time he attempts to load up that right hand.
Stop him easily with in 6 rds.
Probably have enough energy to get the Foreman
Grill out after and have a few burgers.

 

Troll harder.

 

Did you watch the Stewart fight?

 

You really want to play this game, going tit for tat?

Wilder is garbage.

No jab.

No inside game.

Never done anything notable in his career.

He would have been a nobody in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

Anyway, I said that I wouldn’t quote you again.

I don’t quote guys who’ve actually admitted to trolling.

So we’ll leave it there.

 

Trolling doesn't imply anything about being untruthful.

Wilder 10x'd 90s Foreman's title defenses and Foreman was unable to catch a chinny Tommy Morrison. Foreman would get Duhaupased.

Duhaupas would probably even beat some incarnation of 90s Foreman.

 

Foreman withstood a flurry of punches and combinations from Holyfield (as well as a hook from Morrison) without looking shaken. I know Wilder punches harder, but compared to Holyfield - Wilder is no boxer (technique)
