Hilarious. Cooney was as big as Zhang. And if you think Zhang has a power advantage over Foreman you are living in an alternate universe to the rest of us. Foreman may have actually killed the guy. Levels. But thanks for the laughs during another boring day at work.
He called out Tyson because Tyson was the biggest name in the sport. George Foreman was scared of and dodged nobody.
Cooney was 230, which is categorically much smaller than Zhang, and was so terrible by the time he fought Foreman that the fight should be erased from the collective boxing consciousness. But, now that you bring it up, Cooney did manage to rock Foreman with a left uppercut. I wonder what kind of damage Zhang's left would do.
How many times was Foreman dropped in his comeback? That's precisely the number of times Zhang would drop him. There is no scenario where Zhang beats either version of Foreman. And Cooney was one of the biggest punchers of all time by the way. If Foreman could chew a left uppercut from Cooney, he sure as hell could take anything Zhang threw at him.
Foreman's humility led him to downplay his chances against many of the guys he fought. As you say, he'd have been confident of going in against anybody. He fought Holyfield and an unbeaten Moorer in his comeback. Anybody seriously suggesting that he dodged Tyson, Bowe and Lewis is a bona fide moron. Foreman made it very clear that he wanted to regain the heavyweight title. He'd have taken a fight against King Kong had that been the avenue to his goal.
Keep smoking crack mate. Joyce is a nobody. Zhang is a decent fighter but you are literally hanging **** on a legend who’d have comfortably destroyed both of them. Aside from Joyce beating an out of sorts Parker, neither he or Zhang have a decent win on their records. Zhang is 40 years old and still hasn’t had a title shot which pretty much tells you all you need to know. He’s a decent B grader, nothing more. Joyce is an outright fraud.
90s Foreman beat a single ranked heavyweight, and it was a chinny, blown up light heavyweight who was way up on the cards. This is your hero.
Then why no attempt to fight Lewis, Bowe, etc. Foreman being willing to fight anyone doesn't seem to fit with his actions.
Better that than a barely known 40 year old who can’t get a title shot because he’s really just a B grader. Come back to me when your boy is lineal heavyweight champ.
