I see a 75-76 ron lyle giving joe louis a dangerous fight

Foreman would be fine in with Joshua and co. Wilder is co-ruling the roost at a weight around or under what Foreman used to fight at drained. Once you get to a certain weight you are potentially hitting as hard as anyone, certainly at this point in history.

 

None of the guys he beat in the 70s of that size were remotely close to world class the big heavies have improved massively since Foremans day they are fast athletic and powerful.

 

Foreman would fit right in with them and slaughter plenty of them.

 

Jesus Christ a blown up cruiser fit right in with them. Lets not pretend these guys are better than Lewis and co.

 

He would beat some of them but i dont think he would do anywhere near as well as he did in the 70s. Who is this blown up cruiser you refer to?

 

Holyfield who else? He competed well with Bowe and Lewis and he'd compete ok now too.

^these are the best of the best in the world at heavyweight currently.

So youre telling me PRIME George Foreman, would struggle and youd honestly be shocked to have success against the likes of Jarrel "super size me" miller? flabby 6'1 carlos takam? charles "glass jaw" martin? tony freaking bellew? Kubrat "pullout" pulev? Derrick "lose whenever i step up" chisora? Alexander "41 year old body of an offensive lineman" ustinov?

If foreman won a belt and had to defend it against these guys do you see him losing it? He would just get manhandled and tossed around?

 

That was more than 20 years ago todays top guys are a lot bigger. He also lost the Bowe trilogy and came up short against Lewis. How does he help your argument?

 

Foreman could beat some of them sure but I see Joshua probably beating him. He was hurt by lesser punchers. Who did he fight who was physically stronger than him who could hit like Joshua?

 

Well obviously i believe Lewis is a better fighter than those presently and Bowe would be right in the mix too.

 

Prime Foreman would be helpless and frighteningly overmatched against Tony Bellew

 

As I said before, he´s resume is packed of medicore fighters. I would make him a favorite due to beeing a much sharper puncher, but not massive.
What would be your odds for that fight?

 

George would match the heawys today, but he wouldn´t steamroll them as easy he did in the 70s. The same is true for Tyson as well.
