    Probably losses to the Baers.
    Beats Carnera and Simon.

    I need to think this over.

    I think he beats everyone on that list except prime and motivated Max Baer. Overall, I rate George Foreman above Max Baer, but with older, comeback Foreman against prime Max Baer, I have to go with Max Baer.

    A serious Max Baer would probably beat Foreman. On one of his looser nights I could absolutely see him getting done, though.

    Just watch how relaxed and loose Foreman was against Cooney. Also he took a monstrous left hook and got through. Not only does George go undefeated but he also stops all these fighters.

    That is a pretty substantial leap given Cooney’s pitiful state.

    The version that best Bert Cooper for example goes through them, they don’t have the style to trouble him, that Buddy Baer fight is Foreman vs Cooney part 2.
