    Who wins this one if we match prime versions of both fighters up against each other? Does Foreman batter Luis into submission, or do the silky boxing skills of Ortiz allow him to come away with a win?

    I pick Foreman because Ortiz would stand in front of him and isn`t quick enough his feet to get away from George`s constant bombs.

    Prime George hurts prime Ortiz badly. Quite honestly, the Old George that fought Holyfield would likely stop prime Ortiz.

    This is a hurendous mismatch

    I’m not sure he dies lol, that may be overstated. I am not convinced that Ortiz is any worse than....well....Ron Lyle. I think George gets him out of there in 4-6, but don’t envision a beat down or manslaughter

    Just as a matter of interest, would Ortiz be the biggest guy that George would have fought in his career?

    I don't think so, he faced Chuck Wepner when he was like 4-0, he was bigger than Ortiz (I think)

    He's certainly smaller than Shannon Briggs.

    Foreman KO 1 seems highly likely to me.

    Foreman tko 6 seconds. Takes Ortiz’s life with the first punch he throws. Then he hoists Ortiz’s lifeless 240-lb body over his shoulder and carries him to the closest morgue, on foot.

    EDIT: Honestly, Foreman might even stop Ortiz just by hitting him with that scary Foreman glare. Either way, hard to see Ortiz lasting more than 10-11 seconds in this one.
