    And before everyone says it, I don’t mean a 80 or 90 years old George Foreman but the Foreman that fought in the late 1980s and 1990s against the prime relentless Smokin’ Joe that ruled the heavyweight division in the late 60s to the early 70s.

    Who takes this?

    It could turn out like Foreman v Stewart .Frazier walking in to some heavy shots ,being dropped a few times ,then Joe battling back to have George lumped up and staggered. Still a close fight .

    I'd take a prime Joe to out hustle him and land some hard fast combos throughout the fight for a UD. I'm very biased here having trained at Fraziers but I stand by my opinion. Lesser fighters beat George at this period. No reason Joe couldn't.

    Same result maybe goes longer - George is all wrong for Joe.
