You had me in the first half lol.

 

Reactions 6/10
Movement 7/10
Strength 10/10
Chin 10/10
Intelligence 9/10
Physical genetics 10/10
Durability 10/10


Final grade 9.5/10

 

Hmmm...when evaluating Big George you have to give some categories
different grades for his first career and his comeback years.Here goes :

Reactions Young George 7/10 Comeback George 6/10
Movement Young George 7/10 Comeback George 5/10
Strength Young George 10/10 Comeback George 10/10 ( Big George had incredible
physical strength---both versions)
Chin 10/10
Intelligence Young George 6/10 Comeback George 10/10 ( Big George became a shrewd
old veteran in his comeback )
Physical Genetics 9/10
Durability Young George 8/10 Comeback George 10/10 ...Big George tended to be very tense in his
first career,so this led to him being too anxious to score quick KOs.This affected both his stamina and
ability to pace himself.The cannier,comeback George corrected this problem.

 

For 90's Foreman :
reaction speed 6/10
Movement speed 5/10
Strength 10/10
Punching power 9/10
Chin 8,5/10
Intelligence 8,5/10
Physical genetics 9/10
Durability 9,5/10

Final grade 8,5/10

He was a threat to basically anyone not called Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis and Tyson.
I believe his best version was the 1990/1991 incarnation. He showed decent speed at that time and was fighting regularly while beating quite good opposition. He also gave his best effort during a losing bout against the undisputed champion Holyfield.

 

Yep, Big George was splendid against Holyfield.Evander has always been adamant that Foreman's punches were the most powerful he had to endure.

 

Yes, and he showed tremendous resilience although largely outpointed.

 

Absolutely,both Big George and Holyfield showed they were genuine warriors.Foreman never lacked courage.

 

reaction speed /9
Movement speed /8
Strength /10
Chin /10
Intelligence /9
Physical genetics /10
Durability /8

Final grade /9

I noticed Championship Heart wasn't listed here, 10 all day for George imo.

 

Reaction speed: 5/10, Ali couldn’t miss.

Movement speed: 6/10, fairly quick when moving in straight lines, very clumsy w lateral movement.

Strength: 7.5/10, downgraded to account for today’s standards.

Chin: 7.5/10, Lyle and Ali hurt him early. The rest of the knockdowns were mostly due to gassing out.

IQ: 5/10, both loses in the 70s were largely due to low IQ.

Genetics, 6/10: Undersized by today’s standards w above average power and strength relative to size.

Durability: 5/10, combination of being able to wade through flush punches early and terrible pacing.

6.5/10 today, 7.5 by 70s standards
