George Foreman versus three heavy hitters

I fancy him against all three.

 

50-50 all of them.

 

Using “Angles” on Chuvalo and a decent LHW isn’t a point for anyone lol.

 

Can you elaborate? Both Firpo and Baer are listed as 6"2.5, Firpo's reach being 79, Baer's 81 (on boxrec). Now, i've seen accounts of Firpo actually being 6"3 and I've also seen Baer being introduced as a 6"3, plus him being taller than both Louis and Braddock are good indicators.

 

George I believe has said that there were only 2 people that would stand in the middle of the ring to trade with him and be successful. The one was Ron Lyle, the other was Liston

 

Foreman would absolutely annihilate Firpo, KO1

Bear was much better than Firpo but still not good enough to compete with Foreman on equal terms. Foreman TKO4-5

Liston - yeah, I'd favour Sonny here due to his superior boxing skills

 

I’ll go with the consensus, he beats Firpo and Bear and loses to Liston.

 

I didn’t have specific numbers in mind but perhaps subconciousky given Buddy’s size I under-estimated Max as smaller than the numbers you give.

 

Listons the only one with a shot and its not a good one.

 

KO Firpo
KO Baer although if Baer shows up to fight, Foreman experiences some rocky moments.
Undecided about the last one.
