Early 90’s Foreman had better timing and set traps, which maybe made his punches more devastating. I believe Holyfield made a comment about that....
I don’t think he threw the fight, he was in line for a Tyson payday. If you look at the replay, the knockdowns look legit and he kept getting up.
I agree Bowe wins, but I wonder how well he would take a big left from Morrison. Bowe seemed unable to block a left hook, and was hurt with that...
Instead of Bowe vs Holyfield 3 and Lewis vs Morrison in the fall of ‘95, we get Bowe vs. Morrison. This fight was discussed before falling...
Bruno would probably exhaust Morrison by smothering and hitting behind the head, winning a mid to late TKO. However I can see Bruno crumbling to...
Schulz was 1995. This thread is 88-91 Foreman. Foreman was noticeably slower in 1995.
Golota beats that version of Foreman. Golota was busy and capable of moving…Foreman wouldn’t land more than one punch at a time. I love Big...
How about Foreman standing up during the 5th round of Holyfield vs Bowe 3, screaming to Joe Cortez “Stop the fight!” Then sitting back down he...
The trouble with this theoretical matchup is which version of each fighter are we taking about? 90-92 Foreman or later 90s Foreman? The Foreman...
Witherspoon consistently went to the body. Cooney threw some wicked body shots too.
Byrd is getting all the credit for taking the fight on short notice. Vitali was training for Razor Ruddock, a large easy target, not a slick...
Great point, does anyone know why Ike didn’t take the Grant fight?? It seemed to be a quicker path to a title shot.
Bowe was still sharp at that point, I think he wins a decision. Foreman couldn’t pull the trigger against Morrison in his next fight, although...
I’m not so sure Foreman would even get past Tucker at this point. This was not the Foreman from the Holyfield or Cooney fights. However, if...
Born in 1980 and watched boxing on HBO with my dad. I recall being at a party for the Tyson vs Spinks fight, but became a true fan in the 90s....
