    Fury would easily shut him down. Whether it's clinches or movement. Big George obliterated men (typically smaller) who couldn't get out of his way. Fury would take him apart.

    Fury probably. I like foreman much as the next guy but fury is all wrong and the bigger man. I see a Jimmy young style win but even wider on the cards.

    Yes fury got dropped by Steve Cunningham but big george wasn't big overhand right guy he ko guys with strait rights and big uppercuts and hooks. Too fluid a boxer with reach theres reason George didn't wanna fight guys like Bowe

    Foreman was both a far better boxer and finisher than Wilder. Fury would have been gone in 3 or 4 at the very outside.

    George put more into his punches than Fury does and had better punch technique, Fury`s slaps don`t carry his full weight behind them.

    Foreman`s 1-2`s were crisper than Fury`s and nearly as quick, I feel that`s how he`d beat Fury who has good hand speed but slaps too much.

    My mind is blown. I was certain either @miniq or @Tyson Fury Goat was the Gypsy King himself.

    Bowe was very easy to hit but George was far too slow to fight Bowe in the 90`s.
