    In real life of course, we had Frazier and Norton beating Ali but getting crushed by Foreman.

    Any fighters from history that could possibly either beat Ali /Give him an hard fight, but you don't see em beating George??

    I can go with this. Peak Foreman would stop Holyfield imo, hell, old one rocked him. But the Real Deal could be Ali's worse nightmare perhaps, maybe a little like Kenny Norton?

    Possibly Mike Tyson. Due to styles, Foreman would end up running him over, while Ali would be weathering the intense storm of the early rounds and...well, Mike did have that ugly left hook and had fast hands.

    Absolutely. Tyson, whilst more likely to lose to Ali, puts him under that pressure as you say.
    But a prime George smashing in to Tyson?!
    That could be a an early night for sure.
