    Who wins? Foreman comes in ready to rumble as does Ngannou.

    What? Ngannou knocked Fury down and ran him close.

    Foreman stops him mid rounds. Takes a few, but jabs his head off and grounds him down.

    George loved to fight big, tough looking dudes to build his comeback train

    Ngannou absolutely deserves our respect.

    He took a fight under very unfavorable circumstances, and confounded expectations.

    However if he takes more fights against the top contenders, he is likely to run into trouble.

    Right now every top heavyweight is thinking "why don't I fight Ngannou and see if I can do better than Fury did?"

    If he comes up against such a man, they will prepare for it like their life depends on it.

    What do you mean? A few days ago, the consensus on this thread would be that Fury beats 91 Foreman pillar to post. But last Saturday he narrowly escaped defeat from Ngannou, someone he was supposed to stop relatively easy. So if Ngannou can come in a hairs breadth of beating Fury, who's to say 91 Foreman can beat him

    Ngannou is the quintessential big, tough looking dude

    Unfortunately, the chance of Foreman agreeing to fight a ripped, 260 pounder is zero.

    So, just about equal to the chance of you being objective in a Foreman thread. ;)

    A very interesting fantasy fight. Unlike all previous matches, this time Foreman would fight with a physically stronger opponent.
    I'm not saying that Ngannou punches harder than Foreman, but he's stronger in the kid, so pushing Ngannou (like, for example, Frazier) wouldn't give the desired results.
    Let's just say Foreman would win on points at this point in his career. Because he sets traps well, and above all because I like Foreman. And:
