    Seeing as this keeps getting discussed… let’s run it again, my good sirs 12 rounds using the versions of the fighters you’d like… man TF has 50lbs and 5 inches on GF, that’s bigger then Patterson vs Ali… dang.

    Imagine this knockdown but with Foreman's power. That's the result.

    Cooper caught Ali imagine that knockdown with Shavers power etc.Tyson was 20-0 and Cunningham could actually box well enough to land something like that.

    Foreman often stopped people who were never stopped before, or rarely stopped, and I think that fact would apply to Tyson Fury.

    I am still confused by the weight advantage theory.

    How does Fury's extra 50 lbs help him? It means he is a bigger target. It makes him easy to hit. Foreman has a better left hook than Wilder, a better right uppercut, a better left uppercut, a better jab, and a way better chin. Fury won't be able to push Foreman back with his power the way he could with Wilder.

    I am very doubtful such a fight would even happen. Here is what Fury would probably say "I'm a fighting man. No man born from his mother could beat me. I am the greatest of all time. I don't need to fight the middle weight"

    I have always admired Fury for his ability. But it is well known that the dude does not like to test himself. He fought an aging Wlad and avoided the rematch, knowing there is a good chance he would lose. He fought Wilder 3 times but was avoiding Usyk like the plague until Turki forced his hand.

    I doubt such a fight would even happen. Fury has somehow missed fighting the most dangerous fighters in his own era. Zhang, Joyce (pre Zhang), Povetkin, Kabayel etc.

    He has one of the thinnest resume's possible. He apparently is an all time great because he gave Usyk a tough fight and that makes him an ATG. Ok dokey.

    Fury is stylistically open to these shots. Usyk, who has 'respectable' power, did this. Now imagine Foreman landing (which he would - Fury is overrated skill wise). Even Wilder did it and he has even less skill than George.

    Its gonna help him the same way Foreman’s weight helped him against most of his opponents.

    I mean what happened to Wilder… after Fury figured out he couldn’t box that well (Agreed, he’s the best guy since Ali for getting mileage out of nothing in a round …) and just smothered his wide shots, mauled and dirty boxed Deontay daddy long legs Wilder?

    Are you that guy who tried to argue that Bowe can out-jab Fury because Dillian Whyte landed 8 jabs with 8% accuracy on him? If so I respectfully don’t take you seriously on this.

    Your boy Fury got his ass beat by a 37 year old mma fighter on his debut and dropped by a 1 trick pony 4 times. He will not live this down. Wilder can't even throw a left hook or a combination. Bowe would beat the daylights out of him, and Foreman would stop him.

    If you think Fury wins this then you can't be trusted.

    People hate Fury and love Foreman so of course they'll write fanfic about how Foreman destroys Fury. Reality is hes fighting a bigger better boxer who has a style that would befuddle him completely and he wouldn't be able to bully. Fury stomps and make it look easy. Foreman's not against a heavyweight who can't fight off the back foot like Foreman is used to beating on.

    As I said, not worth taking serious.

    Your “boy” is also a 1 trick pony that got beat by Jimmy Young… Fury has the better resume then 70s Foreman which should be shocking to say.
