    I'm watching Sam Peter vs Wlad Klitschko. And while watching it, George Foreman was a commentator. Instead of Wlad Klitschko, Peter fights the prime Foreman of 1974.

    Is the Nigerian Nightmare the worst nightmare of George Foreman or does Foreman reduce him from a nightmare to a mildly annoying bad dream?

    Foreman would be bamboozled by Peter's physical strength and power since he feasted on cruiserweights and not an evolved heavyweight specimen like big Samuel but George would wear him down and stop him eventually

    You doubt that a guy who starched Norton and Frazier in two each would do worse to the talent-free Peter?

    They were smaller than Peter and didn't have his chin

    But Peter had no actual boxing skill to speak of.
