    Default 1973 George Foreman smokes EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!

    And dats no joke, blokes.

    wtf?? this Freak Monster was blowing away people. 1973 George Foreman would literally annihilate the K brothers in 3 rounds. David Haye wouldn't last HALF of what Ken Norton and Joe Frazier lasted. Evander Holyfield woulda been knocked COLD STONE COLD since he prolly woulda fought "up" in his chihuahua complex like he did against Bowe and got knocked the fuck out. Foreman at age 42 almost knocked Holyfield the motherfuck out WITH A MOTHERFUCKIN JAB!

    Big George TAKES EVERY MOTHER OUT. He would destroy Ali if there'd been a rematch. All GF had to do in the rematch was throw that telephone pole jab one-for-one with Ali's jab and conserve his energy a bit.

    I am a huge Foreman fan and I agree 1973 Foreman would destroy Haye and both Klits, BUT he wasn't quite the same after the Ali fight so to say he would destroy Ali in a rematch is a little unfair. Ali said before the fight he was going to let George tire and then get him and thats exactly what he did. Foreman should have been ready for those tactics. Also Ali was on the slide from there on too, I think that justice was done in the one fight they had. Both men were still young(ish) and close to their primes.

    As for Evander being Sparked cold............. I don't know, nobody Sparked Evander BUT nobody hit as hard as Foreman and that includes Tyson. I have mountains of respect for both men and I would literally give my right arm to have both men in their primes fighting in the division now.

    I personally think prime for prime Evander vs Big George is a very hard fight to call but I think I would go for Foreman stopping him. Not sure Evander would be out cold though, think ref might have to stop it like he did with Frazier vs Foreman. Not saying Foreman didn't have the power to clean KO Evander, But having the power to do it and actually doing it before the the ref stops the fight are 2 different things.

    1974 George couldn't 'Smoke everybody' so not sure what happened in the 12 months since 1973

    Agree that Foreman was a monster. But Ali figured him out. The question is are there other iron-willed and iron jawed and/or creative guys in the ring who could have handled him?

    1902ish Jim Jeffries was as big and powerful as Foreman and was accustomed to taking blows from five ounce gloves without a mouthpiece and going 20 rounds. Woulda been a war and the question is would Foreman's stamina have held up.

    How about a guy like 1960ish Liston? That jab would have been a threat wouldn't it?

    I guess I don't really think slick, smooth guys like Tunney or Loughran or Walcott make it 15 with George.

    George was raw and as Ali showed he could be beaten. Lennox, Holmes and Tyson would do him.

    I for one believes that with better cardio Foreman could take Ali in a rematch. Maybe I'm 2 in a billion

    So, did Foreman's invincibility cloak only work during the calendar year of 1973?

    That must be the case, because a still prime Foreman was humiliated by an ageing Muhammad Ali, who had no legs left in 1974.

    I doubt every much he'd have won a rematch either.

    Providing the fight happened by the end of 1975, Ali would have just outpointed the much slower & one dimensional Foreman.

    I can't see Tyson beating Foreman i think he is to mentally weak to make it through it. I think Holyfeild would of been able to outpoint Foreman as well and as for as the Bowie fight Holydfeild had some serious health issues before that fight happen. Also i don't remember Holyfield being sparked just more like he could not breath and was pretty out of it for that fight.

    Who are you trying to kid? George Foreman was powerful, but not moreso than the Klitschko brothers who also have way more skill than he did. There is no way he gets through or around Wladimir's jab.

    yeah and who had no kidneys left after that fight either. Rope a dope sped up Ali's deterioration like youcant believe -- nobody talks about it but Dundee, that Ali had blood in his urine for 4 weeks after that fight. He basically was beat by the 6th round I mean also exhausted like Foreman, and could only lay on the ropes like a bum and take scores of thunderbombs right on the kidneys, of which one kidney was quite badly contused, I believe it was the right kidney due to Foreman's hooks.

    As for K bros. beating Foreman, give me some of that shit youre smokin'.

    Reason Tyson would get KTF out faster than Frazier was because Tyson rushing in would double the impact of a Foreman punch, whereas Frazier didnt really rush in.

    Frazier didnt clinch either, whereas Tyson got into plenty of clinches and Foreman would banged him up so bad on the clinches, then pushed him away like a little gnat halfway across the ring. One of George's famous awkward rights to Tyson's kidney woulda been the end of Mike.
