    What kind of shape is Tex in nowadays, anyone know?

    Guys like Tex and George Chuvalo are amazing.

    Answer to topic question.....

    Yes.

    I think George stops him.

    I loved Tex ! How great would he be doing colour!

    I am glad that this one didn't happen. Absent a melt down Big George catches Tex and it's done.

    I think so. He'd have to be in good shape though. Because it would take many flush shots. I think Tex would probably still be on his feet, though. It would most likely be a mercy stoppage with Tex taking a beating. Tex outlasted an old Shavers, but a prime Foreman could take him out. Hell, a prime Shavers probably would have stopped him.

    So what's a KO? Cobb face down 8-9-10?
    Does it really matter? Prime George lands at will.
    Tex was a 'gamer' but IMO a stupid thread.
    Holmes won every round (without the big power)
    What do you want? The ref picking Tex's eye off the floor and reinserting it???
    BS thread...

    Foreman would stop Cobb, not kayo him, probably around the sixth round.

    P**s on this BS thread! Who cares? I don't care how much punishment Cobb can endure. Chuvalo was ready to quit against a green George. If you let a Foreman Cobb fight continue beyond reasonable limits, Tex is gonna be sipping his dinner out of a straw by his 40's! Next stupid thread!!!!

    Prime Foreman? I think so.

    I think prime Shavers could have, as well.

    Forman really beats him up .. big difference from an old Shavers .. want to see Foreman against a monster tough guy look at the way he destroyed an iron chinned LeDoux in Scott's prime ..

    Maybe not a KO, the ref could wave it off without counting or as he falls through the ropes.
