    I think this version of Foreman would overwhelm him in the first 5. Such a different shape and style to Tyson.

    It would be even after the 5th round, but George would hurt Buster bad in the 6th, knocking him out for the 10 count.

    All foreman and he'd walk through Buster early. He would not give Douglas the kind of confidence he established early against Tyson. He would not be "on top" of foreman and would wilt and go out like he did in the Holyfield fight.

    A more interesting & even match would be against Norton. But I'd go with Kenny on that one with his body punching doing the trick eventually. But that would be a much closer contest and a far more back and forth fight.
