George Foreman from the 90s vs. Zhang Zhilei.

Just like every other guy in the 90's. Anymore goal posts you want to shift?

 

Don’t you realize that unless you’re a 37 year old prospect near 300 lbs and had a prolonged amateur career that you suck ? Any fighter from all previous eras would get zhang banged

 

NoNeck's agenda is as transparent as a Ziploc bag, but it's funny seeing him do mental gymnastics to maintain it even after someone points it out. He often sides with the more recent era guy and he has a very obvious bone to pick with Foreman and Holmes for whatever reason. I don't think it's a coincidence that the two of them caused major upsets beating younger guys in the 90's after being written off.


On a lighter note, "Zhang bang" sounds like it could be part of the chorus to a hit pop song. It could also be an innuendo for Gen Z "I'm finna give her that Zhang...!".

 

LMAO

“ she got Zhanged “

 

You couldn't be more off base. Stewart would just be some guy who got his ass kicked whenever he stepped up, if not for the time he had Foreman looking like a chipmunk and Moorer reeling on the ropes.

Zhang would ko him.

 

I don't care about any of that and its completely off topic. No one was saying Stewart would beat Zhang, I was simply correcting your claim that he was undersized. He wasn't, he was 6'3, sometimes listed 6'4 with a 78' reach and 218-230 lbs. That's probably above average if anything in the 90's if you look at the height/weight ratio of most contenders and champs.

 

Stewart was probably like 6'1-6'1 1/2. A lot of measurements in recent times seem to be way off

Like Fury is nowhere near 6'9

Generally fighters are an inch or more below listed heights
I think some accurate 90s heights would be the following
Lewis 6'4 1/2
Bowe 6'4
Holyfield 6'1 1/4
Tyson 5'10 1/2 etc

Generally I suspect the lower listed heights are accurate when there are multiple height listings.

 

Zhang may or may not have hit as hard as that Foreman but George would never have fought him, never ... he avoided every big, talented puncher and was quite open about it ... not Bowe, not Lewis, not Mercer, not Ruddock, etc ... Zhang was too big, hard hitting, fast punching and talented for that Foreman ...

 

Jerry Forrest must be 5’11” then

 

Correct.

Foreman would not fight under any circumstances PF Chang, belt or no belt on the line.

Foreman would not get near anybody he deemed dangerous, Holyfield was picked because he is a light hitter, Morrison/Moorer for having glass chins and he went 1-2 vs the above..............and rather got stripped of his belt than facing the ghost of Tony Tucker.

 

"Foreman avoided big punchers"--people with room temperature IQ:

If you repeat something stupid enough times, some people will believe it.

 

Thank you for choosing those three .. you proved you know nothing about the period .. Cooney other than being destroyed by blown ups light heavyweight Spinks had not fought a legitimate fighter since losing to Holmes eight years earlier and even then he was highly questioned.

Morrison had a very weak chin and a record filled with second and third raters and Briggs, please .. you picked to post that, not me ..

 

No. He fought Holyfield, Moorer, and Morrison because there were belts on the line and a lot of money. And the fact that all those guys could punch and were ranked kind of contradicts your opening statement: “ Foreman would not get near anyone he deemed dangerous. “ While we’re at it why don’t we throw in Shannon Briggs, Alex Stewart, Bert Cooper, and Lou Savarese. Were those guys feather fisted bums who couldn’t fight ? Too bad there weren’t any Don Haynesworths or Jerry Forrest’s around.

 

Old Foreman looks better than Zhang and Joyce. Of course..

 

With obviously required modification to the lyrics, Zhang's ring entrance walk could be to the strains of Ricky Martin's SHE BANGS (SHE BANGS) - Ricky himself might've said the song was good for either pronoun.

Seriously though, I think George has got this BUT, he could get shook and perhaps busted up a bit along the way. Ultimately, I think he would sufficiently hurt and/or outlast Zhang for a latter round KO/Stoppage.
