    I love these 21 post newbies, who seem to know regulars very well! See through them. Most of the time its a regular posting under a different name. Mods are very liberal here, and don't look at ip addresses often. Maybe they should?

    Tua would be Taylor made for Forman his toughness would keep him in it till.the mid rnds but george would take his concrete head off .Ike? Foreman should take care of him but he is more of a unknown so is harder to imagine.

    We all saw what Foreman was able to do against a short stocky left hooker and one who was an ATG. Of course I don't think the said fighter had Tua's durability but the styles match is in Foreman's favor. Ike Ibeabuchi was too big of a question mark to either favor or dismiss in very many head to head fantasy fights. On a positive note, he went undefeated in the pros and beat two very good rising contenders in Chris Byrd and David Tua. If Ike's power, stamina and durability were as good as some speculate, then he could quite potentially give Foreman fits.. But then again, speculation is really all we have to go on for a man with only 20 pro fights - about 18 of which were against mostly garbage.

    Ike was a solid offensive boxer on a massive amount of steroids nothing more

    So according to you everybody's prime weight is in his 30s lol.
    then why do you pick the 225 pounds of george as his optimum weight ? Foreman never weighed under 230 in his 30s,in his last fights of his first career foreman weighed 228-232 and he was 27-28 and he was not fat at all ,either packed of manufactured muscle, he looked a natural big boned guy,according to you "not a mattured man".
    I REPEAT, Tyson never ever weighed 210 pounds in his proffesional career, prove that i am wrong.his lowest weight was 212 once. he usually fought in the 217-220 range.
    Foreman DID OVERPOWER QAWI AND EASILY. in fact Foreman did take it easy and moved him like a rag doll,he dominated absolutely, go and watch the fight before talking.
    if you think that the body of a 70s era Foreman looks like anyone that trained in a gym lifting weights then all the sport you have done is from your pc.his chest says that he was not lying, he did not touch a weight in his first career.
    Stop talking nonsense and when i reply to it stop changing the topic with more irrelevant nonsense
