real deal vs young foreman

yeah, i was just thinking i would cause havoc by saying evander late ko or colse points decision. didnt realise i was first post

 

good god no, Foreman would have bombed him out mid rounds.

 

If Holyfield boxed and moved and picked his moments I could see him winning on points. But I suspect he'd inevitably get drawn in and trade with Foreman which would see him getting KO'ed in about 7-8 rounds.

Old Foreman had success against Evander but could not sustain his attacks unlike a young Foreman. I think Foremans body attack would be his key to stopping Holyfield.

 

Young Foreman would have dispatched Evander like he did Ken Norton...maybe a round and a half later max..what would have hurt Holy is that he loved to go to war too much..that would have been fatal against George

 

If he boxed id give him a good chance,he showed he could stick to a game plan in the first bowe fight

 

:dealTHIS IN A BIG WAY

 

Holyfield on points... but maybe, just maybe... he could stop him late. My final pick is Holyfield on points.

Young Foreman would engage sooner and more often than he did when they fought in '91. Holyfield would stick and move and he would sometimes brawl. If things got uncomfortable for Holyfield he had the speed and mobility to get out of harms way... then stick and move again.

Young Foreman would be 40 Lbs. lighter than in '91. He would not be as hard to push off. His weight would also not be a factor in wearing Holyfield down. Young Foreman is a little taller, has a slightly longer reach, and about 5-10Lbs heavier.

Young Foreman had a good jab but Holyfied was quick enough to slip many of them and come back with soem good shots before getting into much danger.

Even if Young Foreman landed some good shots (and he would) we all know Holyfield could deal with it as good as anybody.

Young Foreman was more likely to punch himself out than Old Foreman but I do think it goes the distance with no knockdowns.

 

I rate them almost the same all-time btw.

 

Holyfield has built up, steriod type, build. Foreman was much stronger and natural at 225. Foreman stops Holyfield.

 

Messed that spelling: Steroid

 

Foreman in his prime didn't have exceptionally good stamina so I can really see Holyfield possibly stopping Foreman late in the fight because Young Foreman really didn't pace himself as well as he did in 91'
Young Foreman would also have a good shot to stop Holyfield very early because Young Foreman had much more speed and a much better arsenal then he did when he was older

 

You fools! Ha-ha! Prime Foreman was from the early seventies! Prime Holy was over a decade after prime Foreman! Evander loses big. He's no better than Peralta! Where's my NyQuil?! More NyQuil! I'm going to the grocery store and pulling it out for that sweet checkout lady! Whoohoo!

 

No !

Foreman would knock him spark out, he`s took out tougher & better HWs than Holyfield, lets not get crazy here.
