    Which opponents did Foreman knock out in the later rounds?

    I think you will find that, as with all Vitali opponents, George takes progressively more of a beating as the fight goes on.

    Young Foreman knocks out all of them. Old George loses decisions to the klit Bros,knocksout Haye and adamek. And wins close decisions over Chaguev and Peter,and wins a close but convincing decision over Valuev. The old George might have even been stopped by the Klit bros not knocked out but busted up. I remember Alex Stewart swelling his face up real bad.

    They all gEt knocked the **** out...george had underrated hand speed for a big man and his defense was solid...he hit so hard he made joe frazier lift off the canvas on one knee...joe came to my job for an auto session and he said that foreman was the hardest hitting mother****er he ever faced....

    i said a more than a useful jab i did not say better than wlad's and vitali's jab is not that great it may be better than carnera's but not by a huge amount.and carnera was quicker on his feet than vitali have you even seen carnera ?.

    and it is funny to see you give no credit to ray arcel's opinions

    70s prime big George Foreman would put a beating on any of todays HWs. The mans boxing skills are underrated.

    The Klitschkos would be the only ones I wouldn't count out against him, and because styles make fights I think Vitali would have a much bigger chance at beating him than Wlad does. That doesn't mean that Vitali is better than his little brother, but at least he can take Big Georges power - at least for some time.

    He'd tear thru the division more frighteningly than he did the first time around, when the competition was much better than today. I'm assuming you're talking about a young George.

    A prime Foreman would do very well with todays heavyweights. He would be in there with a shot against VITLAY as well and would probably have the beating of WALD.

    Prime Foreman smashes every one of them early.
    Old Foreman v Sam Peter would be a classic.

    Can anyone imagine a Lyle vs Foreman style fight at heavyweight today? I can't.

    Man so many of you guys are blinded by racial prejudice it's not even funny. You can tell half of you keyboard warriors your race just by reading some of your posts. Don't give a MAN his due just by the color of his skin. I am not a fan of one of the fighters pitted against foreman in this thread but some of you jackasses think he has the hand of god and will just KO anyone not from the 70's in seconds like he's ****ing chuck norris. 70's foreman was not a good boxer but was physically better than the men he faced. Older foreman was much improved technically but obviously not the specimen he was earlier in his career. For all the people saying size doesn't win a fight are correct, but neither does only speed or only power, or only anything for that matter. For the shithead comparing the k's to primo carnera, listen to whatever fake ass guru you want, your an idiot, i've seen a bunch of his fights, the only comparible thing is size, that's like saying oliver mccall is a foreman clone, nice try chief but stfu. Some of you act like foreman will walk down anyone and murder them quick, he really came out guns blazing against lyle in the first round, huh. Didn't throw a single ****ing meaningfull punch in the entire first round. So I guess if he does that against anyone now days they will just get knocked out looking at him. And to the ****in aristotle wannabe that gives jack johnson a win or even a chance but no one nowadays, jump off a ****in bridge before you post that bull****, you'll give people a ****in concussion trying to comprehend that. If Ron Lyle put foreman on ***** street, and yea he was a helluva puncher, then the following guys using your reasoning can all KO a prime foreman:

    Tyson who would murder him, oh, wait, no you have to be jack johnson to win, nevermind
    Tua
    Razor Ruddoch
    Frank Bruno
    Lennox Lewis
    the klit's
    and even david haye who isn't technically inferior to lyle, but faster and a huge puncher, has a small chance
