    Prime George Foreman from the first Frazier fight squares off against a slightly better prime George Foreman.

    Who wins?

    Tough one, might have to go with the slightly better Foreman. He was slightly better.

    SBPGF is a fictional esb entity designed specifically to DEBUNK and HUMILIATE classicists like myself. You won't fool me. Prime Foreman wins this.

    Anyway, they both lose to Max Baer.

    Baer couldn't even beat Slightly Better Baer. How could he hope to compete with Slightly Better George Foreman?

    Power up from esoteric Jewish mystic sorcery.

    Also modern nutrition™.

    If SBP George Foreman is the Gil Clancy trained version, who 'paced' himself; continuously resisting the incessant and right instinct to paste Jimmy Young to the canvas in San Juan, then I'd say Prime George Foreman wins.

    Nope, the Young fight was just regular, prime George Foreman with a bad game plan.

    Although I admit that Slightly Better Prime George Foreman's game planning wasn't amazing either, it was slightly better than that.

    Truly a mythical version of Big George then. In which case, I'll still go with the man, the legend - rather than the myth, the legend.
