    The classic matchup. George Foreman takes on someone who isn't George Foreman.

    15 rounds. 1920s ref and rules. Three knockdown rule is in effect. Fight takes place in July in the Tokyo Dome.

    Who takes this, and why? Votes publicly displayed to be able to inquire about the voters' reasoning.

    I don’t understand the thread. So George Foreman vs basically any other fighter ?

    Right now George Foreman is 74 years old. I'll go with current Lennox Lewis to knock him out early in the fight.

    It would be rather difficult for Foreman to fight himself.

    This is a strange one but then I’m not one to judge.

    Ali wasn’t George but he beat George. Frazier wasn’t George but George beat Joe.

    This is like Schrodinger’s Cat.

    We need to open the box, collapse the probability wave function in order to see which Cat we’re actually dealing with here - particularly to confirm if that cat is dead or alive.

    Having said that, if it’s Big Cat Williams and he’s alive, I’ll pick Cleve in an upset after a mighty slugfest.

    Even George said “that young kid” was the hardest puncher he boxed with.

    Of course George has said a LOT of things that have often placed him into a world of contradiction - but I’ll cherry pick that quote and run with it.

    Polls are currently even between George and Not-George. I'm on the edge of my seat.

    That Schrodinger was one cool cat, but he wasn’t a natural heavyweight and I think that works against him.

    Not to mention, what kind of man subjects a poor cat to both radiation and poison just to prove some point about physics. Let’s lock Erwin in that box and see how he likes it.

    George would beat the count and turn the tables by koing a grinning Lennox Lewis!

    Yeah, let’s collapse Schrodinger’s wave function and see if he still thinks it’s all fun and games.

    The revised experiment being duly renamed Schrodinger’s Schrodinger.

    Shockingly, Erwin also used Cats in the famed double slit experiment. Hello Kitty.

    Instead of photons or what not, he fired living felines toward those slits, in order to see what type of pattern emerged from their remains on the “cat’s remains” sensitive back screen.

    His post experiment conclusion was that Cats did not possess the dual qualities of being both waves and particles and that testing for same would surely kill all Cats involved. Duh!

    He claimed he performed the experiment hundreds of times just for the sake of empirical integrity.

    All in the name of science? Right.

    No, he was simply a sadistic SOB with all the makings of a serial killer.

    He was certainly a confirmed serial cat killer.

    Physicists are actually a twisted lot.

    Don’t even start me on Einstein’s warped Theory of Relative-ity and marrying his first cousin. Suffice to say, A = MC = not good.
