    Ibeabuchi, Tua, Shavers maybe a few others could match his power but prob not win in a slugging contest. The only one who could stand in front of him and just beat him down is probably Tyson, maybe Liston.

    Not talking about outboxing him, talking about straight up trading shots until someone falls down.

    LOL at Bowe hanging with Foreman. George would ****ing destroy him.

    Tyson could do it. People keep comparing him to Frazier.
    Difference is Tyson was better than Frazier in every dept, apart from myabe heart (i tend to disagree). Fraziers style was to take 1 to give one back, Tyson would make Foreman miss and then bang him.

    What about Old Foreman???


    AGREED with Lewis - BUT not TUA as teh only time he felt power like Foreman he got v.badly hurt And went into a scared shell VS Lennox. NO way does he trade with Foreman - he hasnt got teh heart to get hurt by Huge-Haymakers And throw back.

    Foreman Hooooook! :hat

    I think a sane and prime Oliver McColl could probably slug toe to toe with a prime Foreman. Again, I said sane. Insane Atomic Bull starts crying.

    george foreman isnt that big in his prime.

    he was big for his era.

    but in this era 6 foot 4 and 220 lbs aint that big.

    hed only have 5 lbs on little adamek.

    david haye is bigger than him minus height.

    foreman fought wit his hands low in multiple fights.

    lennox lewis is bigger than him.

    and a guy like tua that would find his chin would not be ideal for foreman.

    tua dropped guys bigger than foreman

    Earnie "Black Destroyer" Shavers.

    Muhammad Ali, Joe Bugner, Larry Holmes, Randall "Tex" Cobb, Ron Lyle and Ken Norton all credited Shavers as being the hardest puncher they had ever faced in the ring.

    In 2003, Shavers was ranked number 10 among boxing's greatest punchers in history by Ring Magazine. Shavers was given the title of "puncher of the century" and, within the sport of boxing, is widely considered to be the hardest puncher of all time.

    Shavers finished his career in 1995 with a record of 74 wins (68 by knockout, 23 inside the first round), 14 losses and 1 draw.

    I'd bet Ray Mercer would give Big George hell.
