    Bit unfair to Sanders that, to just make a cut off at Brewster and go forward.:lol:
    Sanders KO'd him 2 rounds shortly before.

    It's also worth noting that Klitschko was knocked down in his next fight after Brewster, and knocked down three times in his third fight after Brewster.
    Klitschko looks a bit shaky 2003-'05, against quite average opposition.

    Foreman was beatable. They all are. Foreman had his losses and shaky moments too.
    But Foreman has better wins than Brewster has. You're trying to say Brewster has the best win, but he hasn't.

    Foreman twice beat undefeated fighters for the world heavyweight title. One an absolute ATG.
    Brewster's best win for the 'vacant WBO', Wlad Klitschko who was actually ranked in the lower half of the top 10 by most at the time, in a period that was/is regarded as weak, and was just 2 mediocre wins back from being annihiliated by Sanders.

    One thing that’s for certain is that Old Foreman avoided big bangers like Brewster, Peter, and Sanders unless they were chinny and/or undersized.

    Could Brewster maintain enough discipline to box Foreman to a decision like Morrison did rather than turn it into a slugfest?

    most heavyweights are "chinny", because it's rare to be able to soak up loads of huge heavyweight shots. Wlad, for example, was chinny, really chinny.
    Sanders was chinny (sparked by Nate Tubbs).

    Sanders and Brewster were no better than Briggs, who needed a gift to beat 48 year old Foreman.
    Maybe you're that guy who had Briggs winning 8-4 though. :lol:

    Briggs' audition that made him suitable as a an opponent was getting stopped by Wilson. I even think Foreman was ringside. Briggs never reached the same level as Sanders and Brewster. I watched Sanders get shellacked at Staples Center by Vitali. A chin, he had.

    It's comical to even think about Formean signing up to fight Sanders.

    P.S. Foreman lost to Briggs.

    Brewster was a very good fighter, fast, hard hitting, well conditioned with a great chin .. I disagree with comparisons to Stewart as Brewster was much , much better ,.. the best version of Brewster would beat Foreman but any less wouldn't .. to George's credit he always showed up in shape and had that jab, his enormous strength and clubbing power ..

    Foreman was very old at that time .. I think his comeback should be through 92 vs after 92
