    What a Great Video...My 2 cents worth both these Fighters had Great Chins and would have been a sensational fight....But Prime for Prime Foreman was an absolute Wrecking machine Foreman for me.!!!

    Anthony Joshua is one of two belt holders, and is hyped up enormously. He lost to a blob in Andy Rice Pudding Jr. If he can do that to Joshua, then Foreman obviously could.

    There's only about six or seven heavyweights that stand a chance at a decent version of Foreman.

    He would have respect for Foreman, whose punching power was well-known.
    Joshua can jab-and-move to victory.

    He could do that against Foreman too.
    Foreman was an extremely crude boxer, his greatest asset being ring-cutting.
    He wouldn't be able to push Joshua around either.

    I feel the same he had no defense and was slow he gets beat with his 70s style by mutiple people like jim and Ali showed even people who had good defense like ted 1st round showed he could be countered easy

    people always brag on George cut off skills which was the best thing he had to me not his power sense it was overrated

    another thing people leave out is George had better defense in early 1970 was the best ver of young George he had defense and had some speed nobody talks on this ver dont know why but it's the only George that really had skill
