BHOP has way too much speed for big George, he is also a master tactician and would completely bamboozle him with his version of the okey cokey! Then he would replace the George Foreman Grill with the BHOP Lean Mean Frying Machine just to rub it in!
But by stoppage? Come on! No way B-Hop stops that version of Foreman! He was a durable guy, sure he was dropped a few times, but he held his own against some very good punchers at HW. What next? B-Hop vs. 70's Foreman?!?!?!?
I'm very surprised here. Doesn't anyone else think of the danger that Foreman would bring to the table in this fight? If George lands one, just one heavy right hand or even a hard jab, Bernard is done. Hopkins could probably stay away, counter, move and box on the outside for the majority of the rounds, frustrating George. I think it's unlikely though, because the old George Foreman was much craftier and smarter than the young George. He got much better at cutting the ring off in his second title reign and Bernard would be in serious trouble if George finds him on the ropes.
You people are nuts, do you not realize the difference between a guy that weighs over 250 and a guy that weighs 175 Big George by KO, Hopkins would be rendered utterly useless.
heavyweight, i doubt a prime George would be able to come down to a catchweight of about 190 nevermind the 90's version. I am testing how far the Hopkins hysteria has gone. Thinking about a prime George v Hopkins or maybe even Joe Louis v Hopkins,
"You doubt"??? It would be IMPOSSIBLE for Foreman to do it. So you say Hopkins would be able to weigh 200+ pounds? Either way, I pick big George by KO.
Hopkins would be too savvy for George, Foreman didnt have the fitness or nous to deal with Hopkins no matter how hard he could hit or how big he was!
Who are the mother****er's voting for Hopkins? Are you mugs crazy? Hopkins has never been hit by anyone who hits as hard as even an old Foreman. Hop was able to push Pavlik back, he ain't doing **** to George Foreman. Plus Hopkins lost to Calzaghe remember. It doesn't matter if you think B-Hop won he gassed to Joe. Yes B-Hop is faster, but he can't hurt George. Even a prime 28 year old Evander Holyfield, who would kill Hopkins could not totally stay away from George for 12 rounds. Hopkins just beat Pavlik, a Middleweight moving up. Yes it was a great win, but does not mean Hopkins can beat Heavyweights. What would Bowe, Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis, Ruddock, Mercer and even Bruno do to Hopkins for ****sake? Come on now.
