    In this hypothetical heavyweight match up, what do you think would be the outcome between the Mk2 come back version of George Foreman and Butterbean. Here's the thing. It would be Foreman in his most lacklustre/worst come back bout, and Butterbean at his best fight version. Who do you see ending as the winner?

    I see George knocking him out in 2 rounds. He is a top quality professional even in his 40s. Butterbean was a swarming strong guy but that is about it.

    I see it going around 4 rounds ,by then Foreman s jab has smashed the face of BB .He'd be floundering around the ring on Bambi on ice leg's.

    I saw Butterbean fight on USA network. He threw a big power shot at his opponent and missed close and his opponent went down and played dead. Never considered him a legit fighter after that.

    Yes, went the ten with a UD for Holmes. I think he was 52 when he fought the Bean.
