    No offence to the deceased statesman but everybody who wins a gold medal pretty much says the same thing and has reason for saying so.

    How developed was George as a 19 year old? How would the 19 year old George have done against the 19 year old Mike Tyson?

    At the risk of being accused of blasphemy, I think Tyson, at or near his prime stops Foreman at or near his prime.
