Question about "Old foreman"

When Old Foreman came back....he had to have started at over 300 lbs. I saw him preaching on a street corner in Houston....and he was a "pretty big ol' Guy".

 

Good question, Foreman was 40, when he made Bert Cooper quit after 2, and 41, when he destroyed Cooney.

It's safe to say that he was better than nearly 50 y.o. Big George who got robbed vs Shannon Briggs.

Most likely that neither Grimsley, nor Saverese or Briggs would've lasted 12 rounds vs 89-91 Foreman. I think that Foreman from Cooney and Holyfield fights stops all 3.

 

Because he was worse than 70s Foreman and noticeably past prime to the point that there wasn't much variance in his performance from 87-93/94. Towards the end of his comeback he was noticeably past prime more so than at the beginning but the version that fought Moorer was just pretty much as good as the one from 90-91.

 

Maybe we need young Foreman, old Foreman and very old Foreman.

 

What about Foreman, the Mummy and fossil Foreman?

 

Youre right. That being said he looked surprisingly quick and energetic against savarese and Briggs(for his standards)

Old foreman had much more heart and fighting spirit in the 90s than he did in the 70s where he was an outwardly arrogant but confused on the inside man-child. He bounced back from losses much better(in terms of motivation) than most fighters.

You can't tell there is a significant differences in the physiques of these two. Btw Foreman of the Moorer fight weighed less than he ever did from 90-91.

I'll give you that yes Foreman of the Moorer fight wasn't as sharp looking as the Foreman of the Holyfield fight.

 

4MAN I
4MAN II
4MAN III

All were 3 were very different Foreman's.

 

Fun little fact: Big George was actually planning another comeback at 55 years old, then 65 years old(i think) but his wife didnt let him. could you imagine?

 

Old Foreman is just an expression to differentiate him from the 70's version. At least as I use it. He wasn't literally old as he would be today, a senior citizen.
