Foreman vs Max Baer Max Schmeling Primo Carnera Jack Sharkey Tommy Loughran King Levinsky Jim Braddock Does Foreman clear the field?
Loughran beats him, Sharkey might but I wouldn’t bet on him not doing something stupid to end up getting starched
Max Baer could match his strength and power and Foreman was there to be hit. And Carnera could match his jab and strength
I’d give a better chance that Braddock will perform like Jimmy Young, than that Baer will perform like Ron Lyle (and Lyle lost to Foreman). Foreman clear the field
An early 1990’s George Foreman would have a very good shot at beating all of those men yes. Ironically, Jim Braddock and Tommy Loughran might have had the right blend of durability and boxing style to give him the most trouble. That doesn’t mean I’d favor them though
This is a tough one for me. I think boxing evolved a lot in the almost 60 years. Foreman was not at his best either, tho. I'd go with George because he was a decent bit bigger than these guys with a good chin and reasonably good boxing skills. Typically, I wouldn't think someone could go through a list of champions like this without being truly special.
