George Foreman vs. Samuel Peter

I disagree ,who did Frazier ko? He stopped Quarry twice by tko,stopped Ellis twice ,corner retirement ,stopped Chuvalo tko,stopped Ramos tko,and tkod Stander,I don't see one punch power evident in his resume ,old Machen was similarly tkod.Mathis was stopped but after 11rds of hammering on his blubbery frame.Frazier was a grinder ,he wore you down.Bob Foster another victim was beaten by every top heavyweight he met .Frazier was not a one punch finisher against rated men,in fact who did he ko cleanly?

 

It's probably more a matter of pacing instead of stamina, but as said before, how does that matter? It will still be a factor in whatever fight he has.


As for him suffering heat exhaustion against Young, what about Young himself? It goes both ways.

In his second career he showed much better stamina/pacing, but again, that's a whole different version of Foreman, and i don't suppose we're matching him up with Foreman.

I agree.

I'm pretty high on Frazier (mcvey will confirm that for you, to his dismay...), but i don't think he carried by one-punch power.

On top of that and him being a slow starter, he was in arguably the worst shape of his entire career when he stepped in that ring in Kingston, Jamaica.

 

After beating Ali ,Frazier took nearly a year off,understandable as he fought the fight of his life in MSG,Durham probably thought "give him an easy one lets see how he performs"he takes on unranked journeyman Daniels and scores a 4 rd tko[there's that tko finish again ],4 months later Durham gives him another given, tough man winner Stander ,again another tko this time in 5 rds,ok Joe is a bit sloppy and not in prime shape ,but he doen't have a fight against a rated contender to sharpen up his game,he is out there singing with his group,,maybe partying a bit.Frazier waits nearly another year ,then he takes on the big hitting but perceived as crude and clumsy Foreman,Frazier with an extra 9 lbs of suet around his midriff compared to his 205 1/2 for Ali ,walks into the guns of George ,like the Light Brigade at Balaclava ,with the same result,After the first Ali fight Joe got complacent and took his eye off the ball,with hindsight we can see his downfall coming ,but at the time he was the favourite to demolish the green amateurish Foreman.Personally I think even at his best Foreman beats him ,but Frazier wasnt the "Smokin Joe "of the FOTC,when he went into that Kingston ring.

 

I doubt any sane peron would pick Peter to beat any great fighter now would they? Foreman knocks Peter out in a few rounds.

 

Peter never really showed me real power...Jeremy Williams but Jeremy was stopped before that...However the dominance Klitschko put on him leads me to beleive Foreman would beat him...a young Foreman better stop Peter before 8 because that George always ran out of gas and even fat Peter had more stamina than him

 

Heh, look at all those wacky predictions two years ago.

Peter is crushed.

 

Bugner was a decent puncher but he killed a man in the ring and this had an affect on him and he wasnt so aggresive

Wlad was hardly gunnoing for the KO he was conservatiive in that fight and the Tiger just ran

Good ****ing god. Foreman went 10 rounds with Peralta twice. Foreman did not always run out a gas. How many times do you people have to say that? Every post with Foreman always has something to do with how bad his stamina is like Foreman is the only person to ever get tired.

Foreman has better stamina, a better chin, better power, more tools, better at cutting off the ring, better at working the body. Peter has no chance. Peter gets beat worse than Frazier did.
