Atlas is wrong. Old Foreman may have been more mentally tough than young Foreman. But young Foreman was lethal in a boxing ring and absolutely merciless, with good hand and foot speed for a puncher. I'll leave it this way, I'd get in the ring with old Foreman for a million dollars. But I wouldn't get close to the same boxing with young Foreman for 10 million dollars.

 

I would, he wouldn't be able to catch me - He would keep slipping over in the s h I t...................

 

Older george was smarter, relaxed, tougher mentally

 

None of which could prevent him from getting ravaged by the speed and power of his younger self.

 

To be honest I've heard several people say the same thing. One being Jim Lampley.

 

Atlas is usually on the money. He isn’t here.

 

Only if Old George lasts til the later rounds and Young George has punched himself out. Only possible scenario in which Old George wins.

 

This. It depends on how old older George is. I could see Foreman at 38-39 pulling it off, but have a hard time seeing Foreman in his mid 40’s winning.

 

There’s a veritable smorgasbord of contenders though.

 

Absolutely. He has the odd gem but man he talks some utter trash at times. Strange man.
