    No you have every right to say ridiculous things and be laughed at. There's a difference between a terrible take and simply having a disagreement backed up by logic.

    I back up everything logically. Your feelings are just a little fragile and your logic is dictated by attachment to aging sports figures.

    Berbick is better than Stewart./Saverese/Briggs/Grimsley...........and old Foreman struggled with all of them and the "most powerful puncher and strongest man that has ever lived " could not stop ONE of those ham and eggers.........but but but glass chinned feeble minded Moorer.will be the predicable answer.

    yeah, i seem to remember that a Foreman v Berbick fight was mooted at some point and had no doubt that GF would have done a number on Berbick who was tough but there to be hit. Berbick, despite his powerful looking physique was an average puncher and doubtful he hit hard enough to dissuade George.
    I think the Foreman of the Cooney, Rodriguez and Holyfield fights beats any version of Berbick without much trouble, 7 rounds or so

    But answer the questions! Could say prime Foreman have beaten Michael Jackson from his "Bad" period?
    How about Joan Jett &/or the Black Hearts?
    Old Foeman could at least lick his choice of stars from "The Golden Girls"?
    Dorothy might be too tough, Betty White may be a wise cherry-pick.

    I suspect you know I am just teasing & having fun. :angel2:

    I concede your reasoning, but Berbick wasn't so great against big punchers.

    No you don't. There isn't anything "logical" in picking an unmotivated guy who was brutally KOd in 1 round to defeat a prime undefeated champion

    Foreman could lose to anyone if the overhead lights were hot enough and it went into late rounds.

    Old Foreman wasn’t a prime, undefeated champion. Or are we talking about the chinless Moorer? Spoon would destroy him.

    No doubt Foreman destroys Berbick by that point.

    The version of Spoon who was KOd in 1 round isn't beating Moorer. You're delusional and you just want attention for going against the grain to stand out. Usually people grow out of that in high school but clearly you're still stuck in that mind set. Nothing logical about your picks.

    He’d lose to Moorer, but only if Bonecrusher got to beat him up beforehand.

    Nobody can tell if that is really droll/dry humor on your part-& you do not acknwledge that I am just kidding & not giving you a hard time-so maybe you are speaking in this spirit, playing along & act like, say the at present Queen of England or at least prime 90-something Abe Vigoda could finish Foreman off! :boxing1

    Although seriously Foreman old Foreman did not suffer those same occasional problems.
    And I wonder how much the idiotic plan by Saddler for Foreman to come in cut & dry contributed to his gassing.
    Maybe it was the biggest factor.

    This is why I would have loved to see a rematch between Foreman and Ali! Everybody says same outcome but I’m not so sure. Anyways I see old Foreman doing a Cooney to Berbick
