    Me neither actually Clinton. I've entertained the possibility of guys like Loughran, Conn and Pastrano having the same success as did Gregorio Peralta did back in February of 1970,. but that wouldn't be taking under consideration the fact that Foreman was very young and green back then, and subsequently improved greatly over the years. Ultimately, the size...mass and the bone crushing, imprecise blunt force power that Foreman had would prove to be too much for any lightheavyweight.

    Louis was Infinitely more of an offensive threat then Foreman could dream of being. Conn slicks his way to victory here, George would be fighting in a room of mirrors and smoke.

    Same goes with Moore and Charles. Boxing wins boxing matches, Foreman wasn’t enough Ali and Young taught us this. But it wouldn’t surprise me if on occasion he nails them with a big one. It’s the upset to me if he manages to though.

    I think Charles Moore and Maxim of the three one will get a win

    Does Chris byrd count?

    Also think toney is a good shout. I don't think either are favorites, but I do think they could possibly pitch a perfect game and decision foreman

    Greb might've beaten George, but it's impossible to guess without being able to play the fight out in the mind's eye.

    That's because he took his Vitametavegimine in the mornings along with the nearly raw steak he sucked on.
