Could this guy follow in his fathers footsteps and be the next great HW?

Well the great thing about Foreman is he went from being only a brawler to a very crafty boxer, and I think that may help his son more than anything else.

George needs to teach his son DEFENSE first, the power is of course going to be there, he's a big kid, he's got good genes, but he needs to be a solid BOXER before we can expect anything of him.

Do you know if he has much of an amateur background? One thing old George had was a brief but very sucessful amateur career!

He has no amateur experience at all. I read an interview where Foreman said people refused to fight him on his name alone.

Don't blame them really. If he punches like his father he could really cause some damage even with the headgear on!

There's probably never been a better time for A legend's son such as Foreman's to join the division... problem is, if he'd a decent amateur background has his fathers talent then it wouldn't take him too much time to start making some noise and doing stuff.... But even with his dad's talent, if he doesn't have much or any amateur grounding he's going to have to be built from the ground up, stylistically this may make him a better pro but it is going to be a relatively long time before he can do anything in the division because for a few years he will be learning on the job.

Who knows how good or bad the division will be by that time?
I'd love to see him do well though.
