Once the maniacally defensive Kalan was eliminated and the infantile mythical fights was relocated, the thoughts were this could return to a serious discussion about boxing history, but, alas, the recent stupidity of Foreman proves otherwise.
No need to publicly shame the miscreants who will recognize themselves soon enough.
The 6-4 Foreman is obviously taller with more bone and muscle mass than the 6-3 Norton and Ali. He debuted at 219 lb, age 20, and at the same age Ali first touched the 200 mark. Moreover George was withheld water and nutrition in the last day and fight night to make him more surly and destructive while under the regrettable Sadler who sold George down the river in Zaire. Norton turned pro at 205, age 24. Wlad turned pro age 20 at 220. Only thing small here is the intellect thinking George is a small heavy. After ditching Sadler to swing with Clancy, he jumps to 224-231 because now he's allowed small portions of food and drink. Today he'd be hydrated out the gills and muscled up like nobody's biz because they'd have him on a body weight/weight lifting program.
AJ! Kalan still rules your hearts, minds, and souls so admit it. AJ set some modern day records probably to never be repeated for 100 years and may well be back where he started if he regains his belts.
Ruiz a midget! He's formidable looking in the 240s, now you dullards pray tell me when you've ever seen a one off build like this in boxing? In the 260s for Josh his pant size near the same as Josh, but compare the inseam to his stumps. He's got a longer upper body than the 6-6 Josh. The Dempsey dumpster would be telling us he's a lightheavy if he was still around! Only thing midget here is your demonstrable IQs.
If Ali and Young had defensive genius they would not have ended up in such a pitiable, dangerously derelict condition...duh!!!
The only guy to definitively beat Foreman was Tommy, and even he risked DQ by turning his back to walk away from old, slow George by then. Zaire was an orchestrated and documented French Farce, and all Jimmy did was stink and run from his beating until he was lucky enough to walk the exhausted George being ducked by Ali for the flash KD. George had Mr. Evan Field hanging on for his life, and point in fact after Ali and Field took beatings by George, they looked like stink as their KO% shrunk to your popcorn levels. Briggs ran like the school girl he really is.
You sweethearts have yet to rise above the infantile mythical fights section. Time to firm up the flab lest ye dissolve into a tub of communal goo.
