    Yes, the main point was that there is nothing to compare between Baer and Foreman in terms of their styles, strengths and weaknesses.

    As to Foreman vs Baer H2H, I would certainly pick George also.

    I think George could bust up Maxie badly with just the jab alone - but of course Foreman has more heavy artillery than that at his disposal.

    Louis will be standing in front of George, that's a bad place to be with George's piston jab controlling the distance. This ends inside 5 Foreman by KO. I do consider Louis the better fighter but his style is all wrong for George.
