    Another Foreman vs. Eastern European boxer thread that I’m sure won’t go off the rails. Who wins?

    Well, Foreman did KTFO an Eastern European to win an Olympic gold medal.

    Are these threads just to drag me into a flame war?

    Briedis way too tough and technical for Foreman. Has a shacky few rounds but eventually Foreman gasses when he realizes he can't get Briedis out of there and he can't bully him either and Briedis takes over and either stops him late or gets a clear decision.

    If Breidis got past the first few rounds he might be able to do it.

    Foreman KO, he's not outjabbing George and wouldn't dish out half the damage Foreman would. Briedis feet aren't fast enough for this and he's outgunned. He was weary of Dorticos power, so it's obvious he'd get walked down here

    Breidis has close to zero chance here.

    The idea that anyone can outlast Foreman is simply untrue.

    If Breidis was such an incredible fighter, he would have tested himself vs hard hitting heavyweights. Which he didn't.

    Breidis doesn't have the height, reach, speed or anything else to keep Foreman off him. Foreman walks him down and stops him in 4. And 4 one sided rounds.

    If he can take shots from Usyk and Jai he can take Foreman's shots

    What? He's not a small HW who's going to stand in front of Foreman. He's a tough SOB who's very hard to stop and can move and box if he needs to. I don't see Foreman stopping him.
