    I don't think Weaver could deal with Prime Foreman's strength. Not too many people could.

    I picked Foreman to stop Weaver early because Weaver was a slow starter and young Foreman was a search and destroy type.

    I agree Weaver was a very good overall fighter, but it's just a matchup thing.

    Also, Dokes, a fast starter, stopped Weaver early in 1982.

    Jesús what a garbage post,stewart was a puncher ****ing idiot,holmes in the 90s was a fat STYLIST,stewart got dropped 2 times and Then he ran like a rabbit cause the 3 knock downs rule,evander holyfield was better than 90s holmes in every single departament,stamina,combinations,power,speed,strength,chin,and he landed tons of combinations on foreman and could not stop him,just like moorer or morrison,but you are picking 90s holmes to stop 91 foreman who had great stamina,iron chin and was very patient and had tough mind,larry 90s was a stylist who lost every thing that he had in his Prime to beat george .you don't have any clue about boxing,its why only you and another (Nobody)guy picked old holmes by stoppage . And now this cartoon is saying that mike weaver is a close match for 72 foreman,this idiot is nothing but a troll foreman hater

    Weaver can't take Foreman's punches, that's for sure.

    Weaver was stopped in 1 by Dokes and Smith, Thomas KO'd him with 1 punch. Foreman hit harder than all of them. And Foreman had great uppercut. Holmes dropped Weaver with uppercut, can you imagine Weaver not getting KO'd by Foreman's uppercut?

    LOL, Foreman hater? Why would I hate Foreman? How old are, if you're more than 15 and you have a crush on a man you don't know you might need help. It's sad to see a man worship another man.

    Wonder why Foreman wouldn't fight Holmes if Holmes was as weak as you claim? Holmes wanted it, Foreman didn't, maybe even you can figure out why...[/QUOTE]

    Holmes did not want to face foreman in 1976 when this fight could be relevant,in the 90s foreman would win nothing facing a finished fighter like holmes it is why foreman ignored him,holmes was desperated to got the name foreman in his resume,holmes did need foreman not vice versa.
    Anyway it has nothing to do with the fact you picked old holmes to stop old foreman,ridiculous,you have no clue about boxing just leave it stupid troll

    Foreman fought jimmy YOUNG in 1977,jimmy YOUNG 77 was a top elite fighter miles better than 76 Nobody holmes,young did beat lyle,shavers,foreman and was robbed vs ali and norton, holmes 76 was facing pure garbage,plus holmes was much more agresive than young and traded with punchers,different styles,you have no clue .like i told you,foreman was looking for an important fight with a young fighter to win a belt,not a poor weak ancient like 90s holmes. I bet that you would say that weaver woould have chance to stop a 73-74 foreman too so it is all i need to know that you are a laughable troll with no credibility
