Not a chance Fury would outbox him and befuddle the KO artist, with Foreman running out of ideas and falling to the king.

George could probably ko fury today. Mystifying how some perceive fury as some master boxer for exposing the old fraud. No way he lasts a round with prime George.

[ValMar]

Honestly, I (born 1965) can imagine only two boxers beating Foreman (prime for prime) - Ali & Lewis. Maybe, Vitaly with his granite chin and size, but I would give him no more than 15 % chance to win. Considering current HWs, there is only slim puncher's chance, I mean really slim....So, yes, Big George would be the undisputed HW champion nowadays.

Yeah an old fraud nobody could beat, already proven Foreman could be outboxed and knocked out by an over the hill Ali, any big puncher has a chance but not on this occasion.

The great puncher Cunningham and the greater one - Pajkić...Could teach Big George how to punch....

There's always one lol

[man]

right now he would be at least no 2. i think
only joshua or wilder could challenge him.

i think george beats wilder, because wilder
is too much like george himself and the latter
is the better.

but foreman had flaws which at this stage were
just not yet exposed. joshua definitely has a
chance to beat him, because he is technically
sound enough to weather the power.

everyone else doesn't even have to enter the
ring.

I just assumed he was trolling.

Probably a bit, he loves him some fury.

Anyone who doesn't answer yes is absolutely mental.

totally agree.

Funny how people call you a troll with a difference of opinion to them what an absolute joke
Fury is unbeaten and hasnt been any where near being beaten with proper tactics, Fury stepped up when he had to with klit and imo would do the same to big George. Foreman was shown to be susceptible to being outboxed and got knocked out which is a fact. Yes Foreman was a monster puncher who moved like a mummy he wouldn't stand a chance against a fast slick moving awkward spider arm fighter like Fury.

[Enlightened-One]

This thread should be in the history section.

When literally noone agrees with you, it's more or less trolling.

Do we have anyone today that could take the kind of punishment Ali did and still have enough left to KO a young George? I doubt it. He had the most raw power I have ever seen in a boxing ring. How he demolished Norton and Frazier was incredible. He made them both look like a man vs a little boy in the ring. People were shocked Ali survived. After Ali, he went downhill fast it seemed, it really took something out of him mentally. At his best though, my opinion is he KO's 95% of all the heavyweights in the last 30 years, and all in present time.

george foreman's first career is still a
great riddle to me. never fell someone
from invincible to "quite good" within
one fight at the age of 24.

the interesting thing is that ali won in
zaire on points before the knockout.
you seem to suggest ali psyched george
out for ten years and i think this is an
argument one can make.

do you think pre-ali foreman would
have walked through ron lyle?

Ali had to absorb wicked amounts of punishment to beat Foreman.
