    Prime Tyson will never loose to a old slow fat 40 plus year old.....ever.

    Prime Foreman will never loose to a old fat 40 plus year old.....ever

    Old Foreman was a punching bag for light punching Holyfield............struggled with everybody who had a pulse , could not put Tommy Chin away and was beaten from pillar to post by another glass chinned feeble minded Ex Light Heavy until he landed the lucky one (s)

    End of.

    Too bad he never "destroyed" ANYBODY besides Moorer in his comeback............fakking D level Stewart/Saverese ran him RAZOR close....them are the facts.

    Once he won the belts he rather got stripped instead of facing ANY live body........hello Schulz/Grimsley , sure hall of famers...lol.....Foremans entire comeback.is smoke and mirrors.

    BTW prime vs prime vs old vs old Holmes beats Foreman at ANY time in their respective careers

    I agree.

    I'd pick George Foreman to knock out Leon Spinks in 1978 and Buster Douglas in 1990.

    I'd also take Foreman over Norton in 78. Foreman over Ali in 1978/79. Foreman over John Tate in 79/80. Foreman over Weaver in the early 80s. Foreman over Michael Spinks in the late 80s. Coetzee, Page, Tubbs ... none of them could even manage a single defense, so he'd have a great chance against any of them.

    Holmes would've been a tough out. Tyson would've been a tough out.

    But, in his 30s, I imagine George beats most of the champs in the late 70s/80s.

    When he got into his 40s, nobody was easy to beat. But he certainly could've beaten the Douglas in October 1990 who Holyfield toppled.

    He probably would have struggled against some of the more mobile alphabet champions, if they came in in top shape and brought their A-games.

    The problem is that this one is only your crappy opinion.
