    Foreman, of course. Too big, too powerful.

    Rushing in against George is a bad idea. Bad as in horribly, horribly awful.

    If it was I would have wrote 'rushing in on Willard is a bad idea." I did not, because it was not. Trying the same against Foreman quite clearly was, as Frazier found out.

    Dempsey is tailor made for Foreman, I think. Oddly enough, I don't think the same about Tyson.

    I was referring to the poster above me who said George was too slow. Foreman destroys Dempsey. Different size, different era.

    Foreman by brutal early stoppage, too big too strong and he hit too hard.

    Most don't give Tyson much more of a chance than they do Dempsey, Marciano or Frazier. I honestly don't think Tyson wins either, but it's silly to ignore that he'd probably stand a far greater chance even if the end result is similar. Mike was extremely explosive, and it's anything but relative to his era. Much more so than the other ATG swarming heavyweights.
