    What was Berbick even doing in 95? 85 Berbick would win.

    Foreman by KO Berbick was nothing but a stepping stone at that point. I could see the Foreman team fighting Berbick for an easy W.
    He was fighting on Tuesday Night Fights losing to Jimmy Thunder and Hasim Rahman. Still active

    Tucker, Holmes and Witherspoon were viable enough in 95 to beat Foreman. Maybe Ruddock. The other guys from back then not named Tyson and Holyfield were too far gone.

    In 1995, "Berbick had lost to the mighty Jimmy Thunder ''.
    So it's likely that George rumbles through him, knocks him about, busts him up and stops him in 6 Rounds.
    IMO

    Tucker was done. I'd give Tubbs a better chance than Tucker.

    Foreman openly ducked Tucker and dropped a title in order to avoid him. He must have known something.

    Good thing we’re not matching them in ‘85.

    Berbick was still able to go the distance with Rahman in 96, people weren't beating him easily. I doubt the Foreman team would have fought him in 95. Berbick was still big and durable, not the kind of opponent the team was looking for.

    Berbick in 95 would be a walk in the park for Foreman.

    95 Berbick goes down faster and harder than 90 Cooney.

    They both were on the way out in 95. But Tucker can say he didn’t lose to Nielson in 95 and could at least claim he would’ve won a title if not for a swollen eye.

    He got somewhat of a mild upset over Melvin Foster. I wouldn't be surprised if the Foreman camp had probably considered Berbick at one point for an easy victory.
