    I started thinking about what the outcome of this fight would be like. Ali wasn't totally shot against Berbick like he was against Holmes, but he was basically washed up. He was still able to throw punches and move a bit, and he was still faster than George Foreman of '94.

    Your thoughts?

    Ali's voice before and after the Berbick fight (you can see it if you have The Last Hurrah DVD) indicated that he was already damaged. Foreman would probably be overly charitable (assuming is was Nice Georgie) and win a close UD for not pressing the fight. Ali would win rounds he wouldn't deserve.

    Foreman batters him from pillar to post en route to a stoppage victory.

    In 1981 Ali already had a tear in the membrane that seperates his brain from his skull.
    Foreman would have killed him.

    This would have been one of those fights that would be discussed in hushed tones amongst the boxing faithful like Paret-Griffith III and Benn-McClellan.

    Ali would have no chance against Big George, end result Ali would be stopped in the 6 round after catching 10 to 15 unanswered punches.

    Wow, surprised how unanimous it is. Before even reading the posts I was thinking - are you kidding me?! Foreman by stoppage. Yeah, could be brutal too.

    :lol: Yeah. I think everyone is glad about that. Ali didn't even believe he could've beaten Tyson anyway according to him.
