    Ike Ibeabuchi. Both are around the same height, but Ike was a much bigger man physically, with a great chin and better stamina.

    If we're talking about pure brawling/punching withing a phone booth, then I'd say there are quite a few who would outlast a prime Foreman. I'd go with Tua and Mercer, much more durable fighters and very heavy handed.

    Prime Foreman? No one outslugs him you hear me, no one! Guys may deck him like Lyle did but he'll just get up and stop them. George was never an inside fighter from what I've seen but not many would want to get that close to Foreman or they'll feel his "Big" power. In a mid-range war a prime George always would come out on top. Guys like Holyfield would put up a great fight but would eventually succumb to being ko'd if they foolishly attempt to keep banging away guns blazin-style.

    I agree. Ron Lyle would be a 50/50 against Foreman at any time. As would Sonny Liston. Shavers may be.

    Sonny has a better chance then lyle and shavers for sure. Technical boxing skill and he had an excellent chin. plus the power to put foreman out.

    Foreman would crush Tyson and Tua in my opinion. He weakness was smart fighter, going a war against Big Joe is like to have suicidal tendencies.

    Big Joe wasnt just a brawler, he had a chin, he was fast, he had a damn great stamina and he had a great ring control.

    He had all the qualities to handle Tyson easily. Tyson is too small for Big Joe...

    Plus Tyson's indimidation factor woudln't work against Foreman. I'd say Foreman would scare Tyson more than Tyson scares Foreman.

    Bad matchup for Tua and Tyson

    Nobody could stand toe to toe with George. He would kill a prime Tyson in 3 rounds or less.
