    I'd back a peak George in that scenario. Would be a good fight while it lasts though.

    "Not one swarming heavyweight, marciano, dempsey, or frazier would ever beat foreman coming to him"-paraphrased from D'amato

    "The one heavyweight who would intimidate me is Sonny Liston."-Mike Tyson

    Foreman has the best chance due to his reach, chin & power.

    I think we've established that only Liston and Foreman have a chance. Frazier might if he lasts more than 8 rounds, but I doubt he'd last that long against Iron Mike.

    People tend to overrate Tyson.

    Whether he succeeds or not is a matter of opinion, but Rocky Marciano is definitely going to be standing toe to tou with Tyson, because that is the only way he knows. And unlless one of them is KOd, if anyone does the running and clinching, it will be more likely Tyson.

    Not too many ones that come to mind are Young George,Motivated Ray Mercer and possibly David Tua, Ike Ibeabuchi,Oliver Mccall... Almost was gonna say LIston but on second thought Mike would win that shoot out.

    I don't think Tyson would last 7 rounds with prime Frazier. Unless he stops prime Joe early which nobody ever did, Tyson would get a serious beating to the body and gets stopped himself.
