Prime George Foreman vs Zhang

I could see this going either way.
Likely a better slugfest than Foreman - Lyle with a lot more to see, both smart fighters and strong sluggers with great chins.
I can't see it going to a decision due to both of them lacking stamina and the bombs that would be thrown, but a good fight nonetheless.

 

Since Zhang would be a slow big target, that means Foreman's bodyshots won't miss.

Furthermore, Zhang has even worse stamina than Foreman, thus he is not winning any battle of attrition.

Foreman stops him in 6 - 8 rounds.

 

Foreman would destroy him in a couple of rounds IMO.

 

Big George beats Big Bang down in a few rounds and then stands over the inert giant waving 2 American flags. A decade passes and Pastor Foreman baptises Zhang in the river. They remain lifelong friends.

 

Zhang is 270lbs-290lbs, 6ft6 a southpaw with great power and a rock solid chin. I don’t think trying to fight the way the much smaller Foreman did is wise.
The only guy who beat Zhang was bigger than George and fought like he was handling slippery dynamite.

 

Foreman never had his chin tested by a dude as massive as Zhang. Yeah, Zhang's stamina is abysmal, but he is a good, clever boxer who is accurate and surprisingly fast for his size. Foreman would have to be way more careful about how he approached Zhang than against his run of the mill slugger opponents.

 

No.

Prime Foreman could fight at Old Foreman's pace and, even then, take a couple of rounds off, do some light reading for a couple more, and still outwork Zhang for a decision.

 

And Zhang would be much quicker with his hands. A 6-3, 217 pound man who is slower than the 6-6, 290 pound man he is fighting is probably not going to do well. 70s Foreman was not quick or explosive, a guy his size with his attributes is not going to do well when he fights bigger, faster men.

70s Foreman beat an unmotivated, small pressure fighter, who was under trained in Joe Frazier. He didn't beat the Frazier that fought Ali in 1971, he beat a guy who was over confident and out of shape. He did beat Norton, then lost to Ali and Young. That is his 70s resume. Nothing in the resume or on video that would make me think he could beat a huge, quick handed southpaw like Zhang.

 

Oh please…Zhang is being overrated to stupid proportions now.

He’s 41 and never beaten anybody really, never had a title shot and has demonstrated that he is little more than the Chinese Butterbean.

Foreman beats him in any fashion he chooses.

 

Cmon this fight is so one sided. Foreman batters him inside of 3 rounds.

 

No. Couldn't ever happen. Foreman has nothing on his ledger close to a 7-foot tall, Henan variety of Central Plains Mandarin-speaking lefty.

If he hasn't got one (and they're rare); he'd never get one (and good luck wrestling that logic for all eternity)!!

 

Jaw-dropping that you’re making an argument on résumés between these two & it’s in favour of Zhang. Sincerely, I’m speechless.
