    Foreman. He would absolutely hammer foreman, no rope a dope, just pure movement would have slow George hitting thin air, I’d give it 6-8 rounds...Thoughts ?

    No. Ali landed numerous fast right hand leads against Foreman which jolted Foreman's head and hurt him.

    Watch the tape. There is a significant difference in handspeed between Ali and Usyk. Ali's hands were considerably quicker.

    You cannot run from Zaire Foreman unless you have exceptional footspeed (like the 1967 Ali). Ali leaned on the ropes because his footspeed had declined (much more than his handspeed)

    Usyk is quick on his feet but nowhere near quick enough to evade Foreman. Once he is trapped on the ropes, he won't be able to take those body shots.

    I like Usyk and i hope he becomes undisputed champion. He is incredible. But Foreman is not a good style match up for him.

    To much IQ for foreman I’m afraid. Ali, Young, Usyk, slickness with IQ and it’s not an extremely hard fight. Without legs your ****ed with foreman but there is a blueprint
