    I don't remember having seen this "what-if" before, but how do you think it would have gone? P4P Would Foreman go through Terrell, ala Frazier & Norton, or would "The Octopus" frustrate George and take him into deep water? Thoughts, please!

    I don't know what you mean by P4P, but I think Foreman would walk through Terrell, yes.

    Terrell was just plain skinny. Foreman would have manhandled him.

    Cleve Williams once k.o.'ed Ernie.

    Ernie's punch would not be enough to
    keep Foreman off him.

    George by k.o. in 3 rds.

    It may be interesting for a couple of rounds. After that,George cuts the ring down more and more until he stops Ernie. By the middle part of the fight.

    It would have been another bout where George manhandles him and shoves him to where he wants him to be, then unloads. Once hurt, just what is Ernie going to do to get George off of him and kill 45 seconds or 90 seconds?

    Foreman would get to him before the 6th. Terrell's range and spolier tactics might see him through to the 4th or 5th, but the fight would be all Foreman from the start.
