Hater poll. I guess I'll be the only one here to entertain the notion that McCline is not feather-fisted. Also that the punches he hit Sam with would have knocked out most heavyweights. Foreman himself was not hard to find. If it wasn't for Frazier's predictability he'd have not gotten decked so many times by that uppercut. I'd need more time to think about it. I could see both men winning.
Even the Foreman of old would bomb away Peter as he crashed down Adilson Maguila Rodrigues in two and there are similarities between Rodrigues and Peter.
When it comes to Foreman, I don't like anybody's chances who come forward or swarm. Maybe Tyson would have a chance based on his ability to slip punches, speed, and explosive power, but other than that, I'm not sure. I would give Sonny Liston a good chance as well, but not coming forward. Liston would have to use his reach, keep Foreman at a distance and gradually pick him apart with accurate power shots. Samuel Peter's style plays right into Foreman's hands. He's no Frazier, no Tyson, no Liston, or the next George Foreman. He's more of a poor-man's Ray Mercer. Foreman would love fighting a guy like Peter.
Mercer in his prime was a better boxer than Peter ever will be. I thought he won the Lewis fight by a couple points at least.
I remember hearing that Tyson wanted no part of Foreman. Tyson stated "Are you ****ing crazy? That old man got everyone fooled, he's a ****ing monster/animal" Something along those lines. Tyson, I honestly believe, would have gotten beat bad by Foreman (Old Foreman or the Comeback version)
