Who could beat a prime George Foreman?

[brownpimp88]

Really? I don't agree. Walcott pretty much beat Louis the first time around, so says just about anyone in attendance. Louis wasn't at his very best athleticism wise but he still had great skill and heart and was better than Tyson was at that point IMO. A knockout victory and decision win over Ezzard Charles are impressive victories as well.

I would say Walcott and Holyfield are pretty damn close in terms of greatness. I think Walcott looks more impressive on film. Better and sharper punch, more elusive, smoother mover etc. Holyfield had a great chin, which is significant, especially at heavyweight, but I think Walcott was more skilled and talented.

Both guys are right outside the top ten IMO.

Walcott and holyfiled are equal, someone must really love the old era, ur a moron. Holyfield has a much better resume, he is easily top 10. Yeah he beat better fighters than ur god dempsey and jack johnson, i know its hard for you to believe but its true.

The only reason u even say walcott would have beat that tyson is cuz holyfield beat him, what happened in the fights before holy and after holy, tyson squashed his opponents.

Lmao at u saying walcott is better, this is a joke. bowe would smash his glass chin. Walcott became a somebody from 1946-1953 and his record during those years was 15-9.

Bowe has beat plenty of ranked contenders, he doesnt get ko'd and lose to guys with ****ty records.

The fact that you think tyson would have lost to walcott just shows ur vulnerabilty, tyson would have knocked him out in 2 rounds. Walcott losses to virtually every good fighter he faces.

Name 1....just ONE ranked contender who was worth a **** that Bowe beat....just one!....and don't give me that Pierre Coetzer crap! Maybe Herbie Hyde?! NO, wait....Larry "Freakin'" Donald, right?! LOL!!! Bowe wins the title and proceeds to defend against a shot and drunk Michael Dokes and Jessie "Who hasn't beaten me" Fergussen!! Bowe=overrated I'm surpised you're defending the man who ran from your man Lewis!

Tyson after prison was not the same animal as the one who went in....if you don't know that, you're the one exposing YOURself, because that much is obvious! After prison he had no head movement, abandoned the peek-a-boo and wouldn't know a multi-punch counter combination if it bit him on the ass.....which made him susceptable to ANY skilled boxer with heart.......insert Max Schmeling and Jersey Joe Walcott here.


Good grief.

Name one guy walcott beat that he hasnt lost to? On top of that he was actually a tomato can for most of his career.

The sport was different back then. Fighters fought more often and were paid less for their efforts. Losses were much more commonplace, even to inferior competition. It's a well known fact that Walcott was malnourished and underfed for his early career. It's also been rumored that he wore the cuffs in a few of his fights.

Put Walcott in todays version of the sport where he's better protected, better fed, doesn't have to take part in fixed fights, and let's see how many less losses he has.

This is part of the reason why you have no business comparing fighters from different eras and then getting so upset when many people disagree with you. You don't consider these things while many of us do.

If you knew anything about Walcott you'd know most of those fights he lost were on short notice and that he was fighting to support a houseful of kids while working another job. It was only shortly before he "Beat" Louis that he started getting time to properly train for fights.

Yeah man, I love watching Tyson kicking the **** out of Douglas, Lewis, Williams, and McBride. Some of his best knockouts. Highlight-reel material.

So thats the excuse ur gonna make now, that he didnt have time to prepare for his fights? Bowe is a better boxer, i have nothing to prove to a guy that resorts to these excuses.

Excuses? Man, you're just showing your ignorance, now.

If you put walcott in todays version of the sport, its all speculation, you cant prove anything. But the fact of the matter is in his own time, he mostly lost to the name fighters.

Isnt it funny that whenever sabbath and sir jose come and quote you, all of a sudden you vanish. I always thought that was funny.

Well come on now, if hes better than bowe than you could at least name someone he beat that he didnt lose too. Could have , would have, should have. Thast what i call it, bowe would have smashed his glass chin.
