That’s a tough one. Will have to ponder it. I’d favor a peak Frazier over old Foreman but this version was somewhat past his prime.
I think Old Foreman would take his time more against Frazier, but still he looking for every big shot he can find. The longer it goes on, the worse it is for George. The cross arm defence and better jab would be new problems for Frazier, and I think every time he finds a solution to these problems, he puts himself in the WMD range.
It would actually be interesting if Frazier could fight on the backfoot vs Old Foreman like Morrison did.
He fought on the backfoot in their second fight. I thought it was unpleasant to watch. Would it be better against an Old George?
I thought Frazier looked a bit uncomfortable fighting that way but he had some decent moments landing some solid left hooks and was competitive in some rounds. Old Foreman was far slower though so Frazier may of more success fighting that way although it's big ask.
It seemed he was delaying the inevitable. It's just hard watching him voluntarily back up. IMO he would be better off coming out smoking. OTOH Foreman 2.0 was never stopped
The Foreman from the Holyfield fight was still a dangerous and formidable opponent, he did very well in that fight. I think Foremans power would still be the deciding factor and would be too much for Frazier to overcome. Frazier had massive heart, so he would have had his moments but I got to pick Foreman by KO, I don't see any other outcome.
This flight would end by stoppage with George on his feet, looking worse than he did after the Alex Stewart beating.
