    There's a rumor that Seldon would have handed Foreman his 6th loss. Can the Atlantic City sensation pull it off?

    This looks like a mismatch to me. I favor 90’s Foreman by KO

    Bruce had a very good jab, I see that winning him so many round against big G. But, Bruce's chin wasn't the best and at some point, Foreman snaps his head back with his Jab and follows through with a sledgehammer right, and game over.

    Bruce wins in 95 or later.

    Foreman in 92 or earlier.

    The in between years are a toss up.

    I think 97 Foreman still destroys Seldon.

    There is a slight chance that Seldon with his speed outboxes Foreman, but that isn't what I think happens. I think Seldon can do slightly well for a little while, but with Foreman's pressure and heavy long blows, one of them is going to get through, and one will be enough. Even if one isn't enough, Seldon's chin and condition simply won't be able to withstand that power and pressure round after round by a man that big and strong, who won't be phased by his punches.

    Fair enough answer. I suppose I can agree. Foreman’s power and abilities seemed to decline as the decade progressed.

    Bruce Seldon was always chinny. If Foreman thought Bruce was a threat and took him seriously then Foreman would stop Bruce. If Foreman didn't take Bruce seriously then I still think Foreman would win but it could be similar to Foreman vs Alex Stewart.

    It also depends on which 90's Foreman. The one who fought Evander Holyfield, Tommy Morrison or the one who fought Shannon Briggs and was almost pushing 50.

    Well, some say Tommy was chinny too. Or Alex Stewart for that matter.
    I wouldn´t sell Seldon short here.

    If Seldon stands in front of George he gets stopped in one or two rounds.

    If Seldon moves and boxes he will be ahead on points then gas and be stopped at some point.

    It is possible Seldon could pull off a pts win by employing the Tommy Morrison winning strategy but unlikely because his stamina usually su&ked.

    Can we pick any year from the 90s for George or just 96-97 ?

    Seldon would take a dive like he did against Tyson

    He doesn't want to get hit with that power

    Didn't Seldon have a major fear factor and a more than suspect chin? Just asking. I might give some of the fights he actually won a watch.
