against all of rocky marcianos opponents? and then of course(even though its been discussed before) against the rock himself?
foreman beats all of marcianos opponent with ease and clobbers marciano in similar fashion as the annihilation and destruction of frazier:think
Yeah. I could see Walcott giving George problems,but he'd eventually get knocked out. Stylistically,Foreman's a nightmare for Rocky.
He beats them all but Walcott would have troubled him. While I'd still favor Foreman to beat Walcott, Joe has enough savvy to occasionally shine.
Foreman easily ko's all the guys who fought Marciano and then ko's Rock. Can you imagine ancient Archie Moore decking George the way he did Rocky?
...maybe Walcott would have beaten him. Maybe he really would have. Ali said some pretty disturbing things about Foreman after that fight, toss-away lines too, no acid, or so it seemed. Walcott is another master boxer. Foreman was a little vulnerable to that type. Of course, Walcott is vulnerable to getting his head caved in by a massive punch...
George Foreman against the 1951 version of Joe Louis that Rocky fought would be a brutal murder. I can't fathom the thought. The rest of you read my mind. Walcott would trouble George with his feints and slips, but George would ultimately catch him and it's over. No Rocky Marciano opponent stands a chance against Big George, but Walcott has the best chance for survival. (But he wouldn't succeed)
I agree, If Charles fought his smart defensive counter-punching fight and looked for openings, Walcott could have given him movement and pin-point punching ...both men could take George into deep waters and drown him.
If it's the Foreman that demolished Frazier and Norton then he steamrolls all but Walcott though he beats him too...just a little later.
A young Foreman had too many flaws as an experienced Peralta showed us and I do not think anyone would put Peralta in the class of a Charles,Walcott,Moore or even a Rex Layne as a heavyweight. Foreman would have to get to them early because he ran out of gas, Ali knew this so would Charles,Walcott and Moore....the rds 5-15 would be hell for Foreman to survive and I am not so sure he could take out a defensive minded Lastarza early.....Jimmy Young showed Foreman a thing or 2, the difference with Charles and Walcott and Moore was that they hit a lot harder than Young who was a great defensive master. With the knowledge of taking Foreman late and deep and drowning him, Walcott and Charles would have nice trap set for him
While I wouldn't favor any Marciano opponent to win any particular fight with Foreman, I also would not favor Foreman to go undefeated in 2 meetings with Walcott, 2 meetings with Charles and a meeting with Moore.
