    Could those three have had as much success at an advanced age, in other decades?
    Could Moore and Hopkins defend a title for as long as they did and Foreman win one at the same age as he did?

    I think if Foreman had come back and been in his mid 40s during the early 1930s he could have won a belt.

    I do to, Fogger.
    Said it a few times, he could have beaten one of the Alphabet boys.
    Do you think he could have beaten someone from another decade, at the age he was.
    Pretty sure he'd have beat Carnera or Braddock.

    Although he would not have beaten the Brothers Klitschko or Lennox Lewis he certainly could have topped Chris Byrd, John Ruiz and perhaps one or two others from that era.

    Definitely not beating the K brother of Lennox, mate for sure.
    Roy Jones Jr as champ against Foreman I put that in favour of George.
