    Foreman and Baer are nothing alike Foreman was better everywhere but stamina i suggest you watch him fight.

    Non existent defence? who have you been watching he has one of the most unorthdox but effective defences out of the HW champs.

    For me Louis had excellent head movement.

    These were the type of guys i was thinking. I agree that Foreman starts favourite against al these guys, but i dont think that Jimmy Young starts favourite against all of them.

    Louis fought bigger men and Louis fought all types - Louis wasted no punches - he was a perfect combo puncher - Louis may even take Big George out earlier if Foreman started fast - Louis much better all around fighter and great combination power and superior speed

    Foreman has the size and chin to hang with Louis. Plus devastating power that can turn the tide of the fight at any point. I think Louis is superior overall but I can’t see him handling that much brute force. Some people on this thread are making it seem as if foreman isn’t gonna land those big shots

    Louis won't be able to land anything significant on Fury

    Nobody has the size or chin to hang with Louis.

    If you can't limit his ability to hit you somehow, then you are going to be in trouble, however big you are, however good your chin is!

    Good joke. Plenty have the size and chin.
    As for out thread, Foreman would walk through him like a hot knife through butter.

    Louis stopped bigger men than Foreman.

    Louis stopped men with better chins than Foreman.

    Louis basically stopped three of everything.

    There is not much missing from his resume!

    They were skilless oafs, not comparable to Foreman.

    No he didn't. But please do enlighten me who are you thinking about.

    They were bigger.

    That was half of your argument!
    Paulino Uzcdun, Arturo Godoy, and perhaps others.

    Yes but they weren’t as dangerous as foreman at all, foreman wouldn’t just be standing there testing his chin by eating punches he’d be throwing BOMBS, and it takes a lot of fire power ko George. Can Louis afford to open himself up to pound on George and maybe not even get the ko? No he can’t.
