I'm going to go out on a limb here ... taking a bit of a flyer, and I'll take Big George. Now, I know that's not the conventional choice, but, yeah, that's where I'm going. Fold James up and stick him in the griller. He's done!
I think Foreman might have a chance here, but only if he shows up to the fight, hasn't been drugged, and utilizes his advantages in size, power, chin, championship experience, and plain old awesomeness. Otherwise, Braddock all the way.
I think Braddock would do better than people are saying. I mean he wouldn't win, not even close, but he'd go down fighting.
Foreman doesn’t have advantages in chin and experience, quite the opposite. The Young fight speaks volumes about the problems George could have against someone who could hang in there with him.
Uh, you do understand that Foreman had an entire other championship career after the Young fight, right? As for chin, don't be ridiculous. He was only ever down against Ali, Young and Lyle in 70 fights against some tough punchers and attrition punchers. His chin was great once he learned to relax.
Believe it or not i see braddock having a chance here, if he could just last until foreman tires himself out. Sounds like a big task be he went many rounds with joe louis. That being said, Foreman KO mid rounds is the safest bet
Uh, you do understand that Braddock was stopped only once in 86 fights, right? And that was against the incomparable Joe Louis in his prime! George’s chin improved when he learned to relax? That’s an odd statement. Anyway, considering Jimmy’s vast experience, stamina, solid right hand, sturdy chin, skills and all the obstacles that he had to overcome in life, I think he would have a chance against the force of nature known as Foreman.
