The Raw, devastating Power Of Foreman..?

Prime Holmes

 

…would avoid peak Foreman like the plague, using every business contractual trick in the trade.

 

Who on Earth would say yes!?

 

Witherspoon, Smith, and Weaver could go the distance if all of them were in their own respective primes.

 

Could, as in would, most likely though? Anything could happen.

 

Would, then. Witherspoon had insanely impressive defense and a strong chin, Smith looked to have nigh infinite reserves of energy (Even if he couldn't put them to proper use), and Weaver only got knocked out against Holmes in his prime.

 

Well that answers my initial question. I imagine, “alphabet boys” excludes Holmes, but the OP will need to clarify. I make Holmes a fractional underdog against prime Foreman. The rest of the ’80’s crowd, substantially moreso.

 

Nothing can touch the raw invincibility of 70's FORTEman and that 70's bone density. He'd benchpress a few cows, and then knock them all out on the same night.

 

Well it beats having Larry Holmes’ body, where you look like a pear wearing a Human skinsuit.

 

I always thought Holmes looked pretty damn good.

 

Yeah I don’t see Larry campaigning with picket signs for a fight with young George but I think he would acquit himself well if he got in the ring. He made it difficult sometimes but I think highly of Holmes.

 

He’d have an excellent shot, & be debatably even favourite, but the man liked his soft touches.

 

You must be very impressed with Tyson, then. I’m 40 & an average Joe & I look more impressive physically than 28-year-old Holmes, who had rake arms & no definition. Sometimes genetics plays a part though, as Holmes had good endurance.

 

The most you can really penalize him for is not being too toned.
