    The guy you're arguing with is an actual boxing trainer who knows more about boxing then you've ever known. Maybe shut up and listen for once in your life (or don't not like anyone takes you serious anyway you're our personal lolcow after all)

    Do we consider Povetkin a swarmer?

    I don't know that D'Amato was considering the likelihood of a steroid-fuelled puncher who's roughly the same size as Foreman.

    Of course Chisora would win. A 240-50 pound man who keeps the pressure on and can fight forever against a 217 pound man who gets weaker each round?

    Watch older Chisora fight a bigger, more durable guy than GF who actually can do rounds. ATG/HOF don't win fights when your whole fight is built on being bigger and stronger and suddenly you are not, and you lack stamina too.

    I consider him a boxer puncher as most of the Soviet guys are

    I mean, he's aggressive, so I guess he fits the "No man can come forward against Foreman and live!" meme. He does have a high workrate.

    Then again, even Ibeabuchi ticks those boxes, and the idea of treating Ibeabuchi as a lil' swarmer walking into the jaws of death against a 217 pound Foreman is a bit of a stretch.

    Please show me that quote from a reputable source. I've NEVER heard the word "swarmer" used in any boxing gym, and I doubt the word was in use when D'Amato was alive. The quote was probably fabricated by some message board poster.

    Takam got dominated by 223lb Gregory Tony. Foreman was bigger than that against Scott Ledoux, Scott Ledoux was actually about as big as Tony. Povetkin got beat up by basic 209lb Huck. These nonesense opinions ignore reality and diminishing returns.

    I'm using the fight against Wlad as a template. Wlad was content to tie him up when he got inside though Povetkin initiated a lot of the clinches. Big George is gong to catch him with some uppercuts when he's coming in. As to roids boxers should be tested.

    You know this is an interesting post is that where your hate of the Klitschkos comes from because you see them as "Uber leftist"?

    Wlad is way bigger then Foreman. Young Foreman and Povetkin would be around the same size Povetkin might even be bigger tbh

    I don't like Wlad klit because he was a serial cheater . My posts are honest criticism.. ie the truth, and the truth always infuriates agenda driven trolls like you. What's it like knowing ur hero despises everything about you!!? :icon_pc:
