    Ko's Wilder. Wilder doesn't have the fundamentals to keep George off.

    The other two I'm not sure. I think AJ boxes George to a safe decision and Fury could go either way. I can see him outboxing George and i can see him getting caught. Let's say he outboxes George.

    The Foreman that KO'd Cooney still had enough left in the tank to KO all three of these scrubs.

    And make NO mistake, all three are bums.

    I would take Foreman.

    What he may not have been the puncher he was in the 70s, he still had enough power combined with CRAFT to beat all 3 guys.

    Fury can box, but he doesn't hit hard enough to keep George off and George was too smart for him.

    Wilder would engage, but he's too sloppy and wide open. And George would tire the same way that Ortiz did. He'd beat Wilder up really good.

    AJ has a chance, but he gases too much for my liking. I could totally see AJ jumping to an early lead, and trying too hard to finish Foreman and punching himself out, en route to George getting a late stoppage.

    I think in my mind Fury has enough in the tank to decision a 42-year old George, unless we're talking about the fat Fury that showed up against Seferi

    Like totally
     
  6. Wilder and Joshua might kill him, Fury would outbox him but Foreman May eventually knock him out.

    Joshua couldn't "kill" Joseph Parker and Takam, yet this daft horse thinks he would kill Foreman...

  8. I think old foreman is overrated. He took 10 rounds to stop small chinny Moorer and up to that point was losing every second of every round. He couldn’t stop Morrison and got badly beat up in the process. Ok, fine, we may not be talking about that version but the slightly younger one who fought Holyfield. Even then, don’t forget how slow handed and hittable Foreman was even then. He may have still had heavy hands but he had lost all but all of the snap In his punches. Sure he bombed out Cooney and Rodrigues, but Rodrigues had no chin and Cooney was already ruined by Spinks who himself wasn’t much of a puncher at heavyweight. Imagine wilder who is so much taller and rangier than Foreman and MUCH faster (hand as well as foot) who has power and snap to his punches going at him. Foreman would be eating punches all night long and “the referee better stop this one before somebody gets killed!!”.

    You bring up Moorer fight but that's in 1994. Foreman 2.0 started in 1987.

    Foreman 2.0 was a juggernaut. You either keep him off with boxing or volume. You're not ko'ing him. Wilder is going down. He might land some sloppy haymakers but George is made of steel and you're greatly (as time will tell) overrating wilder's power and skill. At least AJ and Fury have some resemblance of boxing skill. Wilder fights like a baseball pitcher would.
     
  13. George had a great chin no doubt, but Wilder would definitely stop (kill) him on his feet.

    Sly I see a pattern here. First it was the black panther. Now it's Wilder. You're looking for your black superman but trust me Wilder ain't it. You can't be superman when your kryptonite is remotely decent boxing skill.
     
  16. Foreman is black too last I checked....

    Foreman's jab and his extreme durability would make him a major obstacle for these two guys and that other greasy, despicable sub-human tinker piece of shit
     
  23. Foreman's jab wasn't that good was it??
