Young George Foreman in the modern era

45 wins and 7 losses when he fought Foreman. Stay busy fight

 

What do you rate him at HW?

 

At this point I only enter a Foreman thread to see Journeyman92s hate on him lmao.

OT: He wouldn’t be what he was in the 70s but he’d do well. Contrary to popular belief Foreman COULD fight as the smaller guy when he needed to. He was no Mayweather but he moved relatively well on his feet with good distance control and a good jab, and he’d carry his power against SHWs as well. He’d have a handspeed advantage against most modern fighters as well.

I see him beating Dubois, Wilder, Miller, Bakole, Ruiz and guys of that sort. Zhang could KO him but he has to land something early on as his gas tank is even worse than Foreman’s, so I’d say he loses as well. AJ gets KO’d, but Fury beats him and Usyk does as well. Funnily enough I can see Parker unexpectedly out-pointing Foreman to a decision.

 

Foreman ? Lower end top 10, maybe top 15 ?

 

No his opponent the great Jose Roman.

 

Roughly around Eric Molina level. Good thing Foreman dispatched him like a journeyman

 

I feel like any plodder who’s there to be hit probably doesn’t handle Foreman’s leather for enough time in order to take advantage of the fact that he doesn’t have great cardio. George has proven that his power transcends weight.

Usyk would win, I doubt the less mobile 270 pound Parker fares well despite his superior skills, he was very hittable in the Bakole fight though it’s seems that Parker has more much power so George could pay for when he eventually gets sloppy and overexcited. Kabayel could have the body work to deplete George’s gas tank but he’s also very hittable himself, got hurt by lesser punchers than Foreman.

Current Fury and AJ lose badly, Dubois also gets KO’d.
