Oleksandr Usyk V George Foreman Mk 1

[Syntax Error]

When I first thought about this, I thought Foreman might be too big, but thinking about it, there's very little difference in their sizes.

Good boxers with good chins and awkwardness were kryptonite for Big George.

Usyk isn't knocking out Foreman; he might floor a tired and demoralised George late on at best, but that's it.

Usyk's footwork and superior conditioning would see him take a UD against Foreman, but he'd have to be on point for 36 minutes which he is fully capable of.

You are right that they are darn near the same size. Only an inch difference and with in 10 pounds of each other,
Funny that people refer to George as BIG George and Usyk is considered a tiny heavyweight.
How times change.

Since Peralta wasn't a too easy matchup, while Young outclassed and stopped Foreman, Usyk definitely would be an extremely hard opponent for George. It's possible to see Usyk outboxing Foreman for the majority of the distance, but it's impossible to see Usyk avoiding all Foreman's roughhouse attacks. Usyk can't fight that way, while Foreman was good enough in imposing this tactics. Usyk is agile, but he lacks slickness, which Young possessed. Since up to the date Usyk isn't proven against the elite HW swarmers with huge power, it's hard to fancy him winning Foreman. I guess, George would be behind on points, but he would pull out a stoppage win.

Young did not stop Foreman. He did knock him down in the 12th.

We made mistake sometimes on certain fighters and fights.

When Usyk retires, and we've seen his full career. Ask me again.
