    1990. Garry gets the call big fight in the states with big George!. Garry had a rock solid set of chops and decent power .How does this go ? I think Foreman would probably cut Garry up with his jab and stop him late in a hard fight .This would be a risky proposition for foreman one that I doubt he would take . RIP CHAMP.

    Foreman likely prevails in a later rounds stoppage.

    GF would land that jab as he pleased against the strong, tough but static Mason. I saw a lot of Mason's fights as a teenager and whilst devastating against the likes of Lorenzo Boyd, Jess Harding, Terry Armstrong et al he looked ponderous against Alfonzo Ratliff, Manuel De Almedia and struggled with Tyrell Biggs and Mark Wills. Big Gary has none of his usual advantages - physical strength, power - against Foreman and would be up against it in this match. I think 4 rnds or so would be enuff here

    I'm afraid I see a loss here for brave Gary.I don't see him hurting George enough to keep Foreman off and Gary ends up soaking up a lot of punishment. A battered ,weary Mason is stopped on his feet in 7.
