George Foreman vs. a prime Michael Dokes

Option #2.

 

after of the great thread foreman vs "A PEAK" tonny tubbs... this crap... jack jonhson vs "A PEAK TREVOR BERBICK":hi:

 

..Foreman would brutalize Dokes.

 

Dokes has good skill, mad speed, and great heart, but Foreman is on another Level. I could see Michael lasting the distance, and possibly beating, an old Foreman.But the way he comes out blazing would be his downfall against the prime Foreman, with him lasting no more than three rounds.

 

I'm not sure Dokes had a peak -- not a sustained one that wasn't between a couple of valleys -- but he was probably at his best in late 1981 through the end of 1982. Around the time leading up to and coming out of his controversial stoppage win over Mike Weaver (and yes it was premature but Dokes did put him down and teed off on him) he was probably at his best.

And George Foreman of the 1970s destroys that Dokes. The Foreman of the '90s probably also gets him out of there but it's debatable whether Dokes' speed might give him a chance at a decision if he was smart enough to peck and move.

 

Dokes had very fast hands, but was also a close range sort of guy.. Not too much going on in the footwork department, and that's the KIND of speed that you need to stay out of harm's way against Foreman.. His chin wasn't too bad, but not exactly spectacular either... I think 70's Foreman makes pretty short work of Dynamite.

 

Ali and Young were certainly more elusive than Michael Dokes and definitely more durable.. Both men had to take some big shots from Foreman to finally come out on top.. The Young fight requires a closer look given that George was ill prepared, unfocussed and had some less than qualified people calling the shots in his corner.. Dokes might win the first two rounds on points, as he'd do a better job at staying out of the way than Norton and Frazier did... But after a few rounds of taking heavy shots to the body and head, I doubt he'd have the staying power to carry on for much longer... Can't see this as ending well for Dokes.

 

every thread needs the predictable stupid comment " foreman lost against ali and jimmy young so he would lose against james tillis, green,tucker, douglas, corbett, tuney and his grandmother if she was stylist ... please if that´s all the crap that you can say , just shut the **** up

 

first of all, dokes was nothing like ali or jimmy young, ali and young had a great chin they were by far more durable, ali was the greatest hw of all time, and you can argue that jimmy young was robbed against ali,norton and the rematch with shavers, so yes, ali and young have by far more credentials than dokes(who got stopped by any decent name). novices like you think that because a fighter has fast hands and he likes to move around the ring he is automaticly like ali, jimmy young or larry holmes.. no my friend you need a good chin, tough mind.... it is not like 1+1 if he is a stylist he beats foreman.... pure crap.

and foreman does not need TO PROVE ANYTHING against dokes, IS DOKES THE ONE who needs to PROVE against foreman ,because in this one, foreman is an all time great and dokes not, so shut the **** up, SO TELL ME NOW WHAT ****ING FIGHTER DOKES DID BEAT WHO WAS REMOTELY SIMILAR TO GEORGE FOREMAN OR WITH HIS POWER? RUDDOCK DID NOT HAVE THE POWER OF FOREMAN AND HE DEMOLISHED DOKES

 

Dokes doesn't have the legs to beat Foreman.

 

foreman wa s not 6´3, ali was 6´3, and foreman was clearly taller than him, foreman was nearly 6´4 and he had much thicker and robust frame than ali , foreman was drained at 217 pounds, he was more a natural 230 pounder , vitali was a natural 240 pounder in his prime vitali was taller, but he was not built like foreman and he was not as strong,you are a terrible poster, ******ed comments,

 

Dokes not as elusive or tough as Jimmy Young although he was a better offensive fighter. Foreman eventually gets Dokes stationary and bombs him out in about 5 rounds.

 

Dokes by 3rd knockout. We all know Foreman couldn't make it past 2 rounds with his horrible stamina and if any boxer who had even the slightest bit of boxing skills could out box him. Wait Foreman wouldn't make it out of one round. Foreman did lose to Morrison when he was in his 40s and Morrison has the worse chin in boxing history because he was stopped 3 times in over 40 bouts.

Dokes by 1st round knockout.
