George Foreman Vs Rocky Maricano

He dislocated his jaw. so much of a fighter fulfilling his potential rides on geting the right opponent at the right time ..and staying injury free.

 

Dwight Qwawi was 5"7 and 38 year old vs Foreman in his comeback and although Dwight did not have heavyweight power or really never beat a top Heavyweight....His size actually worked in his benefit vs Foreman and I could only imagine if Dwight could punch...he landed well vs George and gave the big guy fits

 

Its like the Frazier fight a bobbing and weaving inside fighter vs the taller bigger foreman who has a good jab hard punch and will shove Marciano away and bully him like he did Frazier, plus he had a great chin

 

Meltdown.

Marciano would brutalize Foreman should he survive the early rounds, does he thats the question? Maricano was two fisted, very likely stronger, and more akward in his movements/defence than Frazier.

Given the fact that Foreman had zero defence, threw huge wide punches and was slow, i wouldn't bet against Tyson speed blitzing him. Depends on the referee to a large degree and what he allows and doesn't allow.

 

hey comabat, did you check out the gullick fight yet? This guy fights the PEAK foreman and he is the same size and style as marciano. do you think foreman takes those shots if it was marciano??

ps, its in spanish..:good

So marciano was half an inch shorter and 4 or 5 pounds lighter than gullick? Marciano was 183-189 and gulick 188-195. The diffrence is one meal and thicker socks inside the boots i think. gullick was 5'11.

Foreman was world champ 9 months after this fight. This is the best of george foreman.

You admit george was green against frazier yet it was his beat win, I agree. However Foreman was never as good again. You cant decide foreman is too green when he looks bad before the title and past his best after the title when he looks bad. A fighter peaks for a period and can still have a bad night. george failed within his peak so what? hes still a great fighter.. Marciano was bad against savold, its ok to accept a fighter is not always good and has faults and flaws that can be exploited.

I like george and I like marciano. I just dont see how a match between ATG's could ever be an easy win.

You can make a case for either man since you cant over rule marciano on the grounds of size when a guy the same size as the rock bounced so many bombs off georges jaw so early in the fight. flush overhand rights and left hooks like rocky used. only no where near as hard.

I dont think I have called you dumb or a joke yet because I dont think its fair.

 

Foreman got hit with some good shots by the 5"7 Quawi if that was Marciano he would be KO'd..... this is a fact

 

Foreman by TKO is the obvious choice here... if Rocky won it would be a shock to me.

 

Bit racsist?:ban

The Gullick fight and others suggest to me that sometimes George under performed for 90 percent of his fights (sometimes fighting down to the level of/sometimes below the level ofhis opponents) - whereas Rock, other than the first Walcott fight generally dominated his fights and always forced the proceedings from the get go - always looking to let that big punch go
