    what would do you think would happen if they fought...
    the younger one was faster, maybe hit harder, but worse stamia and more crude

    older was more techical,better jab,but overweight but had better stamia
    and bigger....

    would the younger one blast the out one fast or would the more crafty and bigger older one outstmart the younger one and win

    i pick the younger one but not in an easy fight

    The foreman that fought Holyfield, was in good shape.

    And looked slight stronger than 1970's foreman.

    It would be a masacre.

    The prime Foreman would turn the older version inside out.

    Comeback Foreman was good but he wasnt that good.

    I'm going to go against the grain here: The older Foreman who beat Moorer would defeat the younger Foreman who beat Frazier, 4-3, in a best of 7 series...in my opinion. I believe the older George's steadier mental state, better skills, and more experience would slightly overcome the younger George's advantages of youth, in 7 head to head matchups.

    The young Foreman would eventually punch himself out making the old Foreman look like the stay puft marshmallow man, before smothering the young Foreman and knocking him out with a slow motion clubbing righthand. :p

    Fully agree......:D Foreman at age 42 and 257 pounds was buffed and strong as an Ox in 1991........ Yes, a we bit slower, but still capable and powerful....

    I agree. The young Foreman was better physically in every department, and contrary to popular opinion, I think the young Foreman had better stamina. THe problem was he just didn't know how to really pace himself; the old version of George didn't have any choice but to fight slow. No contest fight!

    And he got completely massacred. I think old Foreman gets overrated just a tad.

    Buffed? Are you kidding? Did you notice the rolls of fat around his midsection and his flabby teets? If that's buff I'd hate to see what fat would be considered? Sam Peter looked better at 257 than George did, and Peter's about 3" shorter!

    Comebacking Foreman was a mammoth but overated in my opinion. Young Foreman would absolutely batter him and finish him off in about 6.

    Young Foreman would do a demolition job not only on his elder version, but Morrison and Holyfield as well. I don't know why anybody would claim otherwise.

    Foreman is pretty goddamn stocky and buffed there........... YES! He had flab in the girth area, but he was tight elsewhere.......:D

    Not really, He is very fat with flab over his muscle. The word Buff is not described in that picture.
