This is one of the few i can actually see george foreman winning but by UD, not knock out. Agree ? Why or why not
I think George would get him out of there. Too strong and powerful. Foreman would be able to do a lot of damage with his jab, and whenever he got Bugner right infront of him he'd do as he always did; unload several hurtful bombs. It would only be a matter of time before Bugner got caught standing infront of George and would be hit with a few big shots. Bugner was a very good fighter, but stylistically I just don't see him as an oponent who would last 15 with Foreman.
George would have gotten rid of him inside 12 . He would have also stopped any version of Ali inside 12 if it wasn't 4 Ali and Mirena's Maginot line of cheats and crimes .
I think the jab would do a lot of damage to Bugner in this fight. Although he is a legit tough guy I think Foreman's longer range attacker would add up over the fight. Joe Bugner never had a great defense and never was a great mover so I think the added damage of all these Foreman bombs would add up. RTD somewhere between the 10-15.
It's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility,Bugner lasting the distance with Foreman. Joe was as durable as Jimmy Young. If not quite as good.
Frankie,the bee in your bonnet about the Ali-Foreman fight is fast developing into a hornet's nest in a Top Hat ! You're obviously as entitled to your opinion as anyone else,but this thread's not even ABOUT Ali !
I think he could if he fought a very defensive fight but George can turn it around with one punch, thing is Bugner never really put his body behind a punch so he did not have a lot to keep George off. Stamina could be a Bugner benefit if he got past the early rounds.
Very intriguing idea that Bugner might last the distance. I also think Joe's lantern jaw would be too easy a target for George and I can't see this fight going 15 rounds. I think Joe would do better than Joe Frazier or Ken Norton though.
i don't need xperience , i c movies . blakk dikk is like a rattlesnake sometimes , very slikk n sssoo smooth ! Stevie G should know what he's missing . d real thing . u take it , u can tell . And neither does Ali .
