    You're making Dokes sound like a 1936 Joe Louis with that outlandish prediction you made.

    Lol Sardu are you ****ing ******ed? I was being sarcastic. And Foreman was weight drained. As a amateur he was listed as 6 foot 3 and 1/2 and weighed 230 but his trainers drained him.

    Wlad for example started his career weighing 210 maybe and had to bulk up.

    do you know the meaning of "the word drained" ?or you are too ******ed ? george foreman had a big frame he could carry more than 217 pounds, he was drained in order to get faster , for example tyson was full of muscle at 217, foreman was very slim at this weight, and still he looked very big, it is beacuse his frame, trevor berbick weidhed 216 too, do you think that he was as big as foreman? jesus you are a complete mental ******ed

    Dokes was fast and slick and could trouble George a bit. What makes me without much hesitation pick Foreman is remembering how many times slow Mike Weaver hit Dokes in their second fight. If Weaver could catch him, Foreman could too, but with nastier results.

    i see a lucrative career in gay porn for you. Your first movie will be called "Prolapse Party" where you are repeatedly sodomized by Big John Tate, Gerrie Coetzee, Duane Bobbick and others.

    Dokes was a pretty good fighter who unfortunately got involved with drugs and never really had a true prime of any length.

    Dokes would hit George, maybe a bunch, and probably get George really pissed off like in the Norton fight.

    Once Dokes tried to stay inside, then Foreman would start those heavy blows to the heart & body and Dokes would wilt.

    Dokes would give a good account of himself....but would get TKO'ed.

    Michael Dokes definitely had the courage, and the speed, to hand with George for a couple of rounds, but in the end, the first meaningful punch George would hit him with would get him out of there.George kayoes Michael in the fourth round.

    Or the defensive elusiveness Young had, or the early round power. [Before Ocasio II, he "won" KO Magazine's Feather Fists award.]

    Short arms for his size. Coetzee really screwed him up with the jab. He couldn't survive taking the punishment he took in Ocasio I, or Weaver II. When he originally squared off with the light punching but physically powerful Cobb, Tex pushed him to an MD. There's little evidence in Michael's career to suggest he could handle somebody with the combination of physical strength, chin and punching power George brought to the table long enough to wear him down.

    70s Foreman would most likely run Dokes down inside 4 or 5 rounds maybe sooner. He was just a devastating force in his prime for someone like Dokes who was sort of a hooker.

    The 90s version of Foreman may be able to beat Dokes . He could still hit if you stood in front of him. I think Dokes would land quite a bit but maybe stay there too long for the return fire.

    90s Foreman by comeback Knockout in 8 rounds.
