    For sure, but Foreman wouldn't have appeared much smaller than Ibeabuch, if at all, to Byrd. And, Byrd is outmuscled in either scenario.

    Both were comically bad at stopping punches, Foreman with his outreached hands would be a sucker for a left hook- maybe Dave wins?

    He would’ve appeared much smaller then Ibeabuchi he’s closer to Byrd in size then Ike.

    Yes, of course, because Foreman was a 6' 3.5" natural light heavyweight, who needed to pack on the poundage to artificially inflate his physical presence.
