    The general opinion is of certain fighters always beat certain other fighters. So this one is prime frazier, Ellis fight or Ali, which ever u want to call prime, versus 43 year old foreman. The one that battled Alex stewart to a majority win but ended the fight practically blind. Is this frazier to much for the aged foreman to cope with or does even this George destroy the smoke?

    Not my personal opinion but don't u think even this George would be able to take frazier best and hammer him back?

    Like I said not my opinion but just think of holy field throwing every thing at George and him still been there at the end?

    Frazier loses to any version of Foreman. Far too small and weak.

    How did Frazier ever manage to beat someone bigger and stronger than him?

    Frazier would make a mess of Foreman and stop him late on.

    I think that the older Foreman would take a one sided beating, and get stopped late.

    You have to look at what Foreman was at this time, not what he used to be.

    I'm leaning towards frazier really hammering away at this George until the ref jumps in, but he was a tough mother and if he did manage to hurt frazier which is possible would he be able to stop him. Alex stewart went down a couple of times and look what happened in that fight. U can never rule out foreman with that power he has but Joe would have advantage of youth in his favour here. But if foreman can catch Joe, hurt him then it s a matter of can he ride through it. Even at this age George is dangerous.

    Frazier would chop him down and Foreman would retire between five to seven rounds..

    Even though. No one stopped George in his comeback? Just a query.

    Never being stopped doesn't mean you can never be stopped.
