Martin Bakole vs George Foreman

Bakole

People have to accept in 50 years we've gone from lean mean grilling machines 220 pounds to 250-300 pound MONSTERS. Like real monsters of men. Foreman was only a tad bigger than Ali really. But he did get his old man strength.

Foreman was 6'3.5" 220/5 pounds...that is how big bulked Usyk is. But obviously Usyk is gifted to be able to execute the way he does and uses every advantage he gets with being smaller (mostly workrate and sustained footspeed). High IQ.

Bakole is 280 pounds 6'6" I don't think people realize the size of these men. It's not like they have all the physical disadvantages you'd expect either. Punches bounce off them. Outworking them and using skills in the only way to defeat them OR find an even bigger boat/man. The biggest boy is Zhang but he's 40 and has a 6 round gas tank. But he's quick, smart, southpaw and easily the most dangerous of them all.

 

Jesus wept...

Bakole beats a shot gatekeeper and an unproven prospect and suddenly we're doing fantasy matchups with big George?!

Bakole's good, but he ain't proven to be anything beyond a gatekeeper in a weak era just yet.

Hypejobs law in full swing - "beat a hypejob, become a hypejob".

 

Bakole hasn't been given the chance to pummel through the real hypejobs yet. Wait till he is given a top name. All of these big freaks can lose to another. I wouldn't stick Bakole in with Zhang or Fury, Everyone else though sure. I wouldn't stick Zhang in with Fury. I wouldn't stick AJ in with anyone with a pulse. That all being said Fury & Usyk are retiring this year and rightfully so. Take your pick for the next top dog, it could easily come down to matchmaking.

 

id like to see him given a chance. He did look pretty good last night.

 

@NoNeck that is your thread

 

Your trolling is becoming boring.

 

My trolling is not trolling.

Bakole should face the winner of AJ/Dubious which on odds alone would be AJ - but you think Hearn is letting his bodybuilding bum anywhere NEAR Bakole? NO. He is going to run around like a circus clown calling for Fury/Usyk despite both of them men clearly gunning for retirement.

Hopefully Dubious does the business otherwise we're just going to wait around for the next 12-24 waiting for AJ to get chinned off again which is INEVITABLE.

 

Come on now. This is just disrespectful to the elder statesmen of the game.

This guy got knocked out by Michael Hunter. If Bakole wins a belt or beats a top 3
fighter, then maybe we can have this discussion.

 

bakole runs through foreman

foreman wouldnt cope with juggernaut bakole 6’7 290 pounds

foreman went life and death with 210 pounds ron lyme

 

Oh dear.

 

Against the much smaller, inexperienced fighter.

 

Lyle hit much harder than Anderson does.

 

6'4" 250 pounds. Can't complain about Anderson being so much "smaller". Bakole is top 3 biggest heavies currently in boxing. It's an invalid argument. Less experienced yes...but unless he makes leaps and bounds he'd still always get beat by Bakole.

 

Another silly topic with fans yet again jumping on the bandwagon like they did with Joe Joyce and we all see how silly those same fans look now.

Bakole is exciting but very limited with no defense hes big and has some durability but hes not that good.
