Tyson Fury vs George Foreman

You call a 32 year old Ali "an old man".

And you refer to Alis strategy as "basic tactics".

 

And?

 

Fury would never fight someone like Foreman so it's a mute point. Fury has been fighting for 14 years and he has only 2 names on his resume. What other "champion" has gone that long while avoiding all the best of 2 eras? Foreman fought, then retired, then came back and fought better competition as an older guy than Fury has fought in his prime.

 

Are you dense? The wording of it paints a false and negative picture of Foremans loss in Zaire. AKA biased against him.

 

Little George would lose... Fury is heavier, has longer reach and better boxingskills. It’s a nobrainer unless you are an old and dusty type of person hanging in the Classic forum.

 

Seems a bit unfair
Fury has only had 32 fights with delays in his career due to covid, considering in his time he has beaten the 2 longest reigning HW champs with one being the man of the division, i can't see why you don't think he would fight Foreman

Consider that
Wladimir Klitschko had not won a world title in 31 fights
Deontay Wilder had not won a world title in 31 fights

Yet Fury in 31 fights has victories over both

In fact Foreman himself hadn't won a world title in that many fights
I doubt you would say Foreman wouldn't fight Fury, yet Foreman in so many fights was fighting at a lower level than Fury has

 

I messed up the response but was replying to @Vegan Beast

A 40 Year old Foreman would possibly clean this lot out let alone a Prime Foreman....Prime Tyson would who was 5' 10" would go through this lot like a bad Indian curry so don't give me that size excuse.!!!!

 

Foreman via the sneaky fast telephone pole straight right, more consistently devastating than the windmill

 

Name Furys 5 best opponents. I'll wait. Then compare them to all the guys Foreman fought. Then revisit your post

 

I notice how you ducked what I wrote lol
You are comparing someone with far less fights, a finished career to a current career

Yes let's take Foreman's first 32 fights as that is how many Fury has had and compare

I bet you duck doing that
When Foreman had 32 fights he hadn't fought at the same level as Fury

I like both fighters but like to see a fair debate being put forward and a fair debate with what you wrote would be their first 32 fights

So I await your 5 best opponents of Foreman's first 32 fights

 

Foreman had been working his way up opposed to Fury who had been a professional for 13 years.

 

Foreman beats Fury worse than he did Frazier

 

I was responding to the poster who felt Fury wouldn't face Foreman

Still in answer to yourself
Most fighters who go to the top have to build and work their way up. That is not in question
Fact is that in the same amount of fights Foreman hadn't fought in as high a level as Fury has and when you say building up let's not forget that it was Foreman who was an Olympic champion, not Fury, so I find it odd that someone would question if Fury would fight Foreman when looking at what each did in their first 30 odd fights

I haven't challenged anyone on who they feel would win, just on their opinion in that they don't think Fury would fight Foreman when judging who Foreman fought in his first 30 odd fights would say the form line favours Fury

For the record I would favour Fury to win but think George was great in his day
