    Young Foreman, angry, hungry and vicious, who brutally defeated Joe Frazier (RIP) was pretty slow ,with average skills, but his power was 10/10 obviously. What do you think about chances of present-day top HWs (Fury, Haye, Klitschko, Joshua, Ortiz, Wilder, Povetkin, Parker, Pulev, Stiverne) against him in fantasy match ?

    Klitschkos will be able to present a challenge .

    Haye would run like hell from the opening bell .

    Fury Clowns him.
    Current Wlad probably succumbs to the pressure late.
    Ortiz could counter Foremans wild overhands all night long and tie him up.
    I could see Wilder put on a Khan - Canelo type performance where Wilder is Khan.
    Foreman is all wrong for Joshua and the rest don't fare all that well.

    Wladimir a few years ago would've had a chance. I have seen nothing, absolutely
    nothing to suggest any other HW would do anything but get bombed out.

    yeh i think by "clown him" would mean fury would walk up to him in a stupid costume, and fall over straight away first time hes punched by george, to flopsy music.

    210 pound Steve Cunningham sent Fury crashing down to the canvas with just 1 punch.

    One can only imagine how Fury would react to a haymaker from Big George.

    Wilder wouldn't be in boxing if mofo's like Foreman were still in the game.


    unfortunatly it's become a 6'6+ freak show and all the smaller men are usually fat, useless or old.
