    There were different versions of “comeback” Foreman. The Foreman from the Cooney/Holyfield fights was better, IMO, than the Foreman from Morrison, Moorer, Etc. His timing, reflexes, etc diminished after Coetzer. Even his power.

    If we’re talking 90-91 Foreman, I think he has a good chance against those opponents.

    I mean… Tommy Morrison was pretty ****ing strong and hard hitting. Lol. Shannon Briggs too.

    Had the lineal title went with Lewis or ANY of those guys on OP’s list…. Foreman would have definitely went after them.

    That's a stretch. Bruno and Ruddock would've been big money fights and Bruno held a belt at one point. Mason also would've brought in a lot of money. Foreman didn't like to fight big and strong fighters unless they had serious issues with lasting the the distance, like Briggs after he gassed out against Wilson.
