    Most are under the impression that foreman was mentally compromised after the Ali fight up until the Young fight. Would Schmeling have any success against this version of George?

    Schmeling came from "the greatest generation" there's no way some newbie like Foreman stands a chance

    Max's tactical mind and great counter punching win him a decision.

    Schmeling doesn’t have the size and strength to stand up to prime Foreman. Foreman hunts him knocks him around and finally catches him with power shots that end it.
