    Foreman but it may take a few rounds if sugar fights to survive.

    Valuev may be able to last the distance, but George would walk through him all night, landing heavy ****.

    Foreman was way too slow to lay a glove on SNV.

    Foreman won off size when being 6'2" 215 lbs was considered a "man mountain"

    The average high school jock today would make foreman look small

    Valuev ud12

    Prime Foreman decapitates Valuev inside 2 rounds. Valuev's looks were scary, not his fighting.

    Only HW that could beat SNV (not counting fixed fights) was Taishan Dong and he retired because it was too easy.

    Lol

    Literally 99% of foremans opposition were like 5'9" 170lb guys who worked down the coal mine and thought "nutrition" was steak and potatoes with gravy and a pint of ale

    Yeah Valuev weren't brilliant but he's orders of magnitude better than almost anyone foreman fought

    LOL yourself.

    Foreman fought the best of his era, which is by the way, called the golden age of heavyweight boxing. An olympic champion himself, he beat olympic champions, multiple world champions. Valuev struggled against mediocre opposition, got throughly beaten by a 6'1'' Chagaev. Who of note did he beat anyway?

    Prime Foreman would absolute dismantle Valuev. He'd be leaving the ring on stretchers. Valuev is and has always been a circus/WWE material.

    Old Foreman would KTFO him too. Gerry Cooney was better than Valuev and old George demolished him

    Well most people think a washed up 40 plus year old Evander Holyfield beat him. So that pretty much tells you who would win. Also for the people who said Valuev couldn't beat knocked out. David Haye had him hurt badly but didn't hump on him and stop Nikolay. Foreman had no problem jumping on anybody. That was his style. He didn't fear being hit and was a bigger puncher than Haye. Foreman would chop down Valuev and stop him.

    Foreman working a heavy bag would be a good indication of how the fight would have went.
