Sam Peter vs 1974 George Foreman

Weird how he used to fight at Middleweight then, while being a grown ass man who had stopped growing. Maybe it's because he was a lazy fatass.

 

I'm going to assume you aren't familiar with Toney. He was closer to 200 pounds in high school, but drained to 160 to start his career. He was in very good shape for Jirov (entered the ring over 200) and Holyfield (weighed 217).

That makes an in shape Toney heavier than Zaire Ali.

 

I'm going to assume you're one of the people who think having excess weight means you're in your ideal condition somehow. There's probably a reason he cut down so low. Maybe he knew he wasn't as naturally big as the Heavyweights.

Just a possibility.

 

LOLOLOL

 

lol Foreman should've went to close 12 round decisions against the likes of Frazier and Norton instead of the two demolition jobs he did of two of the best in the world just to fulfil your criteria. Do you hear yourself?

 

Are you trying to say that Peter didn't have Norton's chin?

 

Manufacturing strawmen again?

 

^ Look, a "his power is over 9000" boxing fan!

 

You are absolutely right!

195lb and 5'10 with a 50% KO rate in the 1970's equals 6'2, 240lb and a 80% KO rate in the 2000's.

This is due to the planetary alignment of Jupiter with Mars during the 70's which automatically gives +35% to a fighters stats from that period, across the board.

 

No, apples to apples would be comparing their best wins and how they fared against similar boxers (sluggers).

Losing a 12 round fight isn't relevant in this matchup at all. Foreman and Wladmir had zero similarities whatsoever other than hitting hard and had drastically different styles.

So mind telling me Peter's best win?

 

*fatter

 

He won't admit this because he knows that would be ridiculous. I've cornered him about this before.

But yes, that's his stance when it comes to fighters he dislikes. They get penalized for winning by early KO for some reason.

 

They arent similar in that Wlad was bigger, stronger, taller,threw harder and straighter punches, and had better stamina than Foreman.

Show me the guys with Peter's size, power, and durability that Foreman was chopping down in the 70s.

 

Wasn't Toney an All American high school football player? A 200 pound running back? He probably lost weight to box so that he wouldn't be giving up so much height and length to this opponents. Toney roomed with Deion Sanders at the U. of Michigan football camp so Toney was probably a big time prospect.

I thought he was a quarterback, but I can't remember. Shaq is also his cousin.
