He fought guys who were far smaller and lighter hitting than Foreman. Let's see him take a Cooney hook.
Braddock of the Baer fight vs Foreman of the Norton fight. If Braddock made it into round three it would be a miracle in my opinion. The Joe King Roman fight comes to mind . Cheers All.
I'm not even sure this bout should get sanctioned, let alone worrying about what round Foreman would KO him in.
You're right....we wouldn't want Foreman to get hurt. Braddock wouldn't want it on his conscious should Foreman end up in a wheelchair.
I am going to say probably not. Even with a hand injury, I can't see Foreman putting up such a lackluster performance.
Nothing questionable about it he was floored!

Braddock getting undersold here. His gumption would make him a threat for 3 minutes of every round. W15 Braddock
Braddock was absurdly courageous and had a terrific chin .. I don't like his chances but I am one who finds Foreman version 1 pretty flawed ... a guy with a chin ( he had ) , stamina ( he had) , the ability to move a bit and punch a bit ( he had ), a big heart ( off the chart ) , some size 6'2" / 75" has a shot if he gets past the early rounds .. that said he more than likely goes out like Kirkman or LeDoux but one never knows ..
