    Yea but then he started breathing out of his ass and his head balooned up like a baloon after being hit constantly. Foreman still had the power sure, but he worked at a grandad pace and everyone was beating him up.

    It's good for him they didn't put him in against Lennox, Bowe or Tyson because his fans would be rightfully be saying how past prime he was in his 40s.

    There is no way Roy Jones could have moved up to HW in 1994. He fought at 160 untl moving up to 168 late in the year.

    By 02 George had been retiired a few years and was 53 years old. He would have had no reflexes so I think Roy could have run around and put in a few fluries per round to oupoint George.

    I'm not sure about Bowe post Holyfield III or even Tyson post-prison. George proved he apparently couldn't get knocked out in the 90s, which would have been a big problem for Mike...and Mike wasn't exactly looking like he did in the 80s. I think Foreman could have caught him coming in, after that Mike would have been done. And that's knowing full well 90s George would have been overwhelmed by 80s Mike.

    I don't think Bowe had the where-with-all past Holy III to beat George, either. But that's just me, I could be wrong.

    Schultz could have beaten Ruiz, Moorer would have jabbed Ruiz`s head off too and Ruiz would have gone life and death with Stewart, Tyson would have finished Ruiz easily.

    In 2002? Foreman was way too slow. As soon as the final bell rings, he'd reach for his sunglasses.

    Jones won't go the entire fight without getting hit. Foreman has a big advantage in that he virtually doesnt have to worry about the incoming.
