    His Gas Tank is worse than Zhangs and he fights like an amateur. Foreman would also be tagging that body to help him down the stretch

    Ruiz can punch some, always has. Meanwhile Ali had trouble making breakfast because the eggs were too hard to break. But he managed to break Foreman.

    Just stop. Nobody's gas tank is worse than Zhang's at heavyweight.

    He threw 416 punches vs Hrgovic, many of which were power shots. That's more than Zhang threw over 12 vs Hrgovic

    And yet he still went 12 with Hrgovic, dropped him, arguably won several rounds and had many people claiming he got robbed despite having cement feet, much slower feet than prime Foreman due to the size

    Zhang would have disintegrated Foreman if little Georgie tried to go toe to toe with him

    And he damn sure isn't out-boxing 90's Foreman. As far as scientific boxing goes, Hrgovic makes a good punching bag. But maybe he could have Foreman punch himself out, like he did with Itauma. Yeah, that would work.

    Kabayel who was 40 pounds lighter and not really proven at the time disintegrated Zhang while walking him down and pushing him back lmao, so theres no reason to believe your BS. Boxing is not wrestling doofus.

    Other than his chin Hrgovic looked HORRIBLE vs Moses. Foreman puts him down

    Hrgovic would obviously outbox Old Foreman (except Foreman wouldn't take the fight). You're talking about a guy who ducked an aging Tucker in order to get outboxed by Schultz.

    I actually think 90s Foreman would do better with Hrgovic than the 70s version. 70s Foreman gassed terribly against Ali, gassed again against Jimmy Young and was nearly gassed out vs Ron Lyle.
    Ali weighed 216
    Young 213
    Lyle 220

    Hrgovic is 6’6 and routinely weights between 240 and 248. With a granite chin.
    I could see a scenario of Young George punching himself out with him. Just like Moses did, and Zhang. 90s George whom was more relaxed, jabbed way more and paced himself better could work out a decision. And I think 90s George is overrated. But Hrgovic outside of his chin is nothing that special. He has average power and doesn’t have a high work rate. Just a big man with a ton of heart and great beard.
