    He'd clean up easily.

    Nobody should be able to brutally man-handle fighters of Frazier, Quarry's and Norton's class. Foreman made them all like like C-level Heavyweights.

    My bad. That fighter he was beating up on looked like Quarry from some angles. Same applies, Norton and Frazier were two great heavyweights, and Foreman easily disposed of them.

    Size wouldn't be an issue for him in today's game either, a man mountain at 6'4.

    "Big" George, is definately a man who I'd pick to be competitive in any era the sport has ever seen. He had the strength and crude inside tactics to deal with the sports earliest champions like Sullivan, Dempsey, Jeffries and Johnson, while having everything it took to become a champion in the golden era of the 1970's.

    As for today, its needless for me to say that I think he'd be a force. I'm not sure that I agree that a prime Foreman would just walk into 2008 and utterly aniolate everyone, as I think that some may actually give him some trouble early. But, yes I could see Foreman besting the very top men of today's game including Klitschko, Valuev, Chagaev and Peter.

    I think 55 year old George (or however old he is today) would be a live dog against today's crop O' crap. How sick would it be to see Big George drop that short right he landed on Moorer on Wlad!

    Foreman vs Wladimir would always be a horror show for the big man.

    :nut <--- Wlad after getting hit by a foreman right hand.
