How would these young lions do against 70s George Foreman?

Big George knocks them all out.. no doubt in my mind.

 

In before Galvotron tells us how George gets brutally KO'd by all three.

 

Interestingly Big George was a bit of an untested fighter coming up pre demolishing Smoking Joe.

 

Nah, he'd only give AJ a shout. Does like a bit of AJ that chap...

 

Just to reiterate and add to what Sugar started, George did not fight good fighters on the way up and had limited am experience, nor did he beat any good big men after winning the title. Parker doesn't look good, so I'd expect him to lose. The other two have a lot to do with who lands, Joshua looking a little better than Wilder at atm. Ortiz likely would be a problem if in shape, because he shows a high comfort level and no signs of chin issues.

 

So George Chuvalo wasn't a good fighter? Gregoria Peralta wasn't a good fighter? Boon Kirkman wasn't a good fighter?

He didn't beat any big fighters after winning the title? Ken Norton was 6'3, Ron Lyle was 6'3, John Dennis was 6'3. Not to mention the various guys who were 6'3 to 6'6 Foreman beat before he won the title.

 

George would break them.

 

George would lose.

 

I think all 3 would be fun fights, especially his fights with Wilder and Joshua.

I think he would steamroll Parker- he's a good fighter but I don't think he's on that upper echelon level of current HW's. Joseph just needs to accrue more ring experience and keep improving as a fighter for now, he's still green.

I think he'd knock out Wilder inside 6 or 7 rounds. The Joshua fight would be an interesting one since Anthony is a very large man himself with excellent power in both hands. He's more of a 1-2 combination puncher whereas George could put together a series of 7 or 8 shots on an opponent and try to club them out of there. I'd have to favor Big George in that one as well, more than likely via stoppage.

He was a great fighter in the early to mid 70's. Before the Ali fight he was looking like a killer and someone who could possibly usurp Louis as the greatest HW ever.

 

Young George goes 0 for 3. I could see old George beating Wilder.

 

Chuvalo was done already. Peralta is a name that's exclusively mentioned to justify Foreman's pre-title opposition. He did very little as a heavyweight (other than beat stiffs in Argentina). Boone Kirkland made a name for himself losing fights; he has no legitimately good wins to his name.

Norton wasn't big and had the chin of a man half his size.

Lyle would be a medium sized heavyweight today. Did Foreman enjoy being punched by him?

Who the f uck is John Dennis?

 

How would the horrendously over rated Foreman do? My picks.

Parker WUD12
Wilder WKO6
AJ LKO8

 

If a Nichols jab would put Wilder down and Sconiers, a professional loser nearly ktfo'd him, George and his 15" fist and bludgeoning power and neat 6'4 himself would ktfo Wilder Badly as my poll earlier illustrates.

 

Well, Joshua is actually a decent amount bigger than Foreman was in the 70s. Foreman back then was the size of Corrie Sanders. Considering the Ali and Lyle fights, Foreman would likely have to find victory while eating right hands and huffing and puffing. I'm not sure he'd pull that off against Joshua and Wilder would be live if he got a rhythm and found room to move around the ring. George would probably go 2-1 or 1-2 but a sweep either way would be unlikely.
