    Shut the hell up. Foreman is going to cut the ring down and land his power shots like so many others have. It's realistic. Fury is a giant target and Foreman is a body puncher. He will literally take Furys legs away. Dude has been knocked down 10 times. Stop glazing

    Interestingly enough this shot is from almost the exact same angle as the shots from Cunningham and from Usyk. And Fury got caught with it whilst throwing the same combo (sloppy 1-2) in all three instances then moving backwards in a straight line.

    This is absolutely a major stylistic deficiency from Fury imo. Never really noticed it until now.

    O’Halloran landed some jabs on Foreman which means Fury stomps :):):)

    Landed way less jabs than Wilder and Wallin did against Fury.

    Fury is going to try and box as usual, Foreman is going to walk him down and land on Furys giant ass Hitbox. Overrated

    Imagine taking clean jabs by O’Halloran, Fury wouldn’t even break a sweat with this fodder.

    Imagine getting dropped twice and outboxed for 5 rounds by a 37 year old mma fighter on their debut...... wait a minute

    Imagine being a champion for several years and never fighting your contemporaries.... lol

    Im not even trolling right now, Ngannou would beat tf out of O’Halloran.

    Imagine getting beaten and retired at 28 by Jimmy Young. Imagine beating and sexually assaulting women like Foreman and getting less hate than Fury does.

    Domestic Violence and Murder charges change perception of a boxers morality, not perception of their boxing ability and professional legacy. Fury and aj are two of the most overrated heavyweights this century, you're proof of it. And they will be eclipsed by the next generation of talent. It's already written.

    You are overstating Fury's ability just to make Usyk look good.

    Bigger does not mean better. Bigger means more hittable.

    Again, the Fury fans refuse to answer why a guy who has been around for over a decade has basically avoided fighting most of the best heavyweights of his era. Fury wouldn't even take this fight, let alone win it.

    Foreman is not of this century, and he's still greater than both. Let's have this conversation. Make a thread about it. It should be pretty easy

    He fought Wlad, Wilder and Usyk all the best HWs of his era. Only HW he missed is Joshua because of rematch clauses and Usyk beating him.

    So I assume Foreman’s size was also a disadvantage in the 70s? Good to know.

    No, knowledgeable people on this site, even the harshest ones at least accept that AJ and Fury can give anyone trouble h2h. Its only people like you who DKSAB that argue otherwise, hence why all your arguments boil down to reading names off of boxrec or quite blatantly dumb points in paragraphs like “he struggled with Ngannou and took 8 jabs against Whyte!”.

    And the fact that you are visibly hating on AJ, Fury and Dubois for being overrated or heartless or whatever when you can look past Foreman being a literal ****** says a lot about what kind of a man you are.
