    Who wins this clash of the titans? Both hard punchers and neither defensive geniuses.

    Foreman...but I think it has the chance of being Lyle like.

    Yeah, I could see George going to the canvas once or twice.

    Max was 6'2 210 pounds of muscle and power. If you think Shavers would have done damage vs Foreman, Max would be Shavers with a much better chin.

    No chance? Foreman went life and death with Lyle who was vastly inferior to Baer. No chance is a stretch, especially wirh someone possesing power of his magnitude.

    Max gets hit, a bad problem in front of George Foreman

    See Max getting stopped in around 4 rounds. He'd take to much punishment over a short period of time. Foreman would happy in there to bomb away. It's possible tht George gets rocked or maybe dropped but the result the same imo.

    This'd be an insane brawl, but let's be honest, we all know who wins. Foreman is better in almost every sense, he'd take away Baer's advantages and break him pretty quickly. There's also the added factor that Baer might **** himself pre-fight like he did Louis.

    Max Baer vs James J Jeffries would be a better fight imo.

    Some may have actually picked Max to plant Foreman and plant him good.

    I'd pay no mind to that, Foreman is a very humble bloke...
