Young Foreman (1973) vs. current HWs ?

Vitali would show massive heart and will to win against Big George .

But would it be enough to win ??

 

Haye was 210 vs Wlad. 4MANS size would not be an issue.

 

Old Foreman was 3 classes up technically from young Foreman. If we were talking about Young Foreman with the skill of old Foreman you'd have an argument, but we aren't. The Cooney KO isn't very impressive either. He came off a 3 year retirement after getting knocked out by a Light-Heavyweight in Spinks. He was also knocked out by Holmes before that. I wonder if Wilder will get the same conditionals Cooney gets after he gets knocked out 3 times.

 

Fury couldn't beat Foreman. He'd be a human punching bag. That IMO is a styles fight. George tortured you if you couldn't hurt him.

 

...and hit them harder than they have ever been hit before

 

Correct.

I get a laugh every time a Johnny-come-lately boxing fan pulls the "oh but boxers are bigger today so the champions of the past couldn't beat them" argument

 

Oh yeah!

 

Respect for Foreman.

 

So Frazier at 205 couldn't have made cruiserweight, yet Steve Cunningham at the same weight and far lower bodyfat percentage is too small? How does that work out?

 

Haye and Foreman fight nothing alike.

 

You come off as one yourself. Who brags about knowing who Norton, Lyle, and Frazier are?
