George Foreman vs Murat Gassiev

Dear lord.

Gassiev's career is by no means over, and who knows, he may rebound from Usyk to go on to be an ATG heavy. But based on what we now as of right now, this moment, September 12, 2018, they carry Murat out on a stretcher.

 

Sonny Liston vs Dmitry Bivol who wins. Joe Louis vs GGG who wins

 

GGG's a middleweight. That's an unfair matchup.

 

What a ridiculous thread.

 

Agree. Way too many ridiculous fantasy fight threads on here.

 

Gassiev lacks the dynamic movement necessary to put up a good fight against Foreman.

There’s a chance he figures it out as he’s still young, but we’ll see.

 

Bivol Tyson/Spinks style KO 1 Liston

GGG wins every round of a 15 round fight, but the 15th never arrives as GGG stops Louis via brutal KO in the 14th!

 

How about Gassiev-Chuvalo?

 

Yet he took 12 rounds to ko Dorticos whom Foreman would Have KOED in 1

 

Yeah, right now he'd be a sitting duck for Foreman's steampole jab. He needs to develop his own jab and improve his head movement before this starts to become a halfway even match. Otherwise Foreman would just punch him into a shell and tee off on him at will.

 

Eh? Based on what?

 

It's a little worrying that he still hasn't developed a half-way decent jab at this point. I never understand fighters who neglect this fundamental punch, even if they do develop their other skills to a world class level. It just makes you too vulnerable to too great a range of styles, and makes everything so much more difficult to accomplish.

Gassiev is too content to let other fighters come to him and take advantage of their lapses in concentration to sneak his own short, sharp shots in. He could have taken out Dorticos much earlier if he'd busted him up with the jab first. Instead, he kept Dorticos in the fight and only punished him sporadically with little bursts of offence that were highly effective but far too spaced apart to force a KD or stoppage.

It was a clinical performance with a picture perfect finish, but Gassiev could have made things so much easier on himself.

 

Dorticos only fights one way and that's full steam ahead and straight into Foreman...
