    With 5000 posts already under your belt, I'm sure you will not be surprised by the majority of your responses... Foreman is going to win in about as many scenarios as will be described... but I love seeing classic posts with Berbick.. but would like to see him more evenly matched.. The Truth beat him but I think Trevor was past prime and just cant see Berbick giving Big George much trouble..

    Foreman does everything better,he gets the stoppage over the durable Berbick.

    Foreman is just too much for the Jamaican. He does literally eveything better. A better matchup would be Ray Mercer, who was the diet Pepsi version of Foreman. I could see Berbick holding his own against the tough 90's slugger. Or Mike Weaver if they didnt already fight.

    Yep I can see George dropping Berbick fast ,I can see him climbing back up and down he goes again . Somehow he's back on his feet but George smashes in to him and that's it ,it's over ..

    Foreman knockout in 2. Berbick is tailor made for 1970's Foreman.
