    What would have happened had these two guys fought in 1991? Back in the early 90's, Ruddock was not a guy that alot of other fighters rushed out to fight. George, as was his strategy since beginning his comeback, was very careful about the types of opponents that he would face. Obviously, George would never have agreed to fight Razor Ruddock. Ruddock was a true heavyweight with a huge punch; something that George didn't like to be too close to. But if the fight did happen way back when, how do you see it?

    I personally think that George was just too slow to beat a top level heavyweight. I think he'd bother Razor for a while with his jab and maybe even stun him once or twice, but I think Razor was too big, too strong, and too fast. He'd outscore George and win a lopsided decision.

    Did you burn yourself on George's low fat grill or something? Get a life.

    All's he ever talks about is Foreman. A fat old man who looked like The Thing chose a few stiffs to fight when he was about 50, big deal. Tyson got a crack at the title again by beating McNeeley and Mathis.

    Tho a massive banger Ruddock's left hook was very very telegraphed IMO. Big Daddy might even spring one here! Peak Foreman would knock Ruddock's head clean off his shoulders i reckon.

    Ruddock by decision or late TKO.
     
  8. YOU ARE THE BIGGEST IDIOT IGNORANT THAT I SAW EVER.
    FOREMAN WOULD NOT FACE RUDDOCK? REALLY? FOREMAN FACED MORRISON WHO DESTROYED RUDDOCK AND PRIME HOLYFIELD WHO WOULD BEAT PRIME TYSON. GEORGE WANTED FIGHT AGAINST TYSON ANY DAY IN ANY PLACE. AND TYSON RAN LIKE A CHICKEN .BUT YOU ARE SAYING THAT HE AVOIDED TOP FIGHTERS? YOU ARE A ****ING IDIOT
    YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY **** ABOUT BOXING.
    IN HIS RETURN FOREMAN SIMPLY HE COULDN´T BE KNOCKED OUT.
    HE HAD IRON CHIN.
    IF RUDDOCK FIGHTS WITH BRAIN HE MIGHT OUTBOX HIM, BUT IF HE TRY EXCHANGE WITH GEORGE HE WOULD GET KO EARLY.
    OF COURSE PRIME VS PRIME FOREMAN WOULD **** ON HIS FACE:fire

    actually foreman faced pretty crappy fighters during his comeback.
    Rudduck proved his chin in the Tyson and Morrison bouts, I really really doubt foreman would ko him early because foreman was not nearly fast enough, nor did he have the sharpness in punching that Morrison and Tyson did.

    Sure, Foreman fought Morrison. And he got completely schooled. I don't think old George was as good as you says he is. he was very inconsistent actually.
    the problem with old George is that he avoided a lot of top fighters and instead fought a bunch of bums and washed up men. If he fought rudduck, Bruno, Lewis, Bowe, Tyson, bonecrusher, and Tua, then We would have a better argument for him. but instead he fought colemy, rodrigues, rocky, Stewart, Cooper, savarese, lekusta, and other guys who were not even close to the fighters I listed before.
    Old George wouldve been there for the taking
     
  12. yes tommy, and even butterbean and petter mcneley would humiliate old liston.
    old foreman was competent against prime holyfield, tyson couldn´t finish the fight against past prime holyfield.
    morrison destroyed ruddock, and morrison ran of foreman, ruddock might never stop foreman. and ruddock would ko 100% old liston
     
  13. well, you are talking pure **** foreman wanted fight against tyson any day and in any place, tyson wanted no part of george. bert cooper did hurt prime holyfield seriously, savarese was undefeated when he faced george.
    who did fIght liston ? even old foreman had better rivals than liston had in his complete career. old foreman 90-91 would ko cleveland williams YES!!!, OLD FOREMAN WOULD KO FLOYD PATTERSON YES !!!, OLD FOREMAN WOULD KO ANY RIVAL OF LISTON AND IT IS A FACT. SONNY LISTON NEVER DID BEAT NOBODY
     

  14. THE FACTS ARE LISTON NEVER DID BEAT NOBODY, YOU CAN TELL ME 100 HISTORIES HIS JAB...BLABLABLA PURE SPECULATION, THE FACTS ARE FOREMAN DESTROYED 2 MEN WHO DOMINATED ALI, NORTON AND JOE FRAZIER, FOREMAN DID BEAT PEARLTA(CHECKS HIS RECORD), FOREMAN DID BEAT CHUVALO,COONEY,MICHAEL MOORER, HE WAS STOLEN AGAINST BRIGGS AND HE IS THE OLDEST HW CHAMP IN HISTORY. LISTON WAS KNOCKED OUT BY MARTIN , HIS FORMER SPARRING PARTNER (190 POUNDS)
    SONNY LISTON REALLY IS NOBODY IN HISTORY OF BOXING. ANY BIG MODERN HW MIGHT BEAT CLEVELAND WILLIAMDS AND FLOYD PATTERSON(185 POUNDS). LMAO OLD FOREMAN WOULD KO OLD LISTON IN 45 SECONDS.
    :rofl:rofl

    great but I'm not talking about Liston.
    yeah Morrison destroyed rudduck. after getting floore himself and having a very hard match.
    Once again I'm not talking about lison. and at least Liston showed up in reasonable shape and showed ring intelligence.
