    I'd say Riddick Bowe has the best chance

    These “types” don’t exist it’s a meme on these forums. Louis could go forward and beat the devil out of Foreman try again yourself.

    I'd pick Joe Frazier from the first Ellis fight to the first Ali fight to beat Foreman. When he gained weight, put more into his singing career than boxing, and started partying, he wasn't the same fighter. He didn't even look good vs. Stander and Daniels when the desire was gone.

    Louis is by far the superior fighter, but as Larry Merchant said in a video on heavyweights ,"No man who comes to George Foreman can survive."

    The same can be much more confidently IMO said of Joe Louis… George Foreman had Ron Lyle almost KO him doing just that, Louis had some mortal moments but clubbed a whole decade like a baby seal my good sir.

    You can just eye ball that when you become a Dr? Now I’m self conscious I don’t have enough Brown Fat and the knowing ones are seeing it.

    It’s a nice double entendre.
