Would early 70's Foreman have cleared the 90's with ease?

    Who's the Jimmy Young of the 90s? Solid era but there weren't many slicksters. Having said that he would take a loss or 2 if he tried to run the gauntlet of Lewis/Bowe/Tyson/Holy and there's no shame in that, I'm not sure there's a fighter that wouldn't.

    He would do extremely well of course, but loses to Lewis, Tyson (the pre-prison, Ruddock-era version) and Holyfield. Foreman-Bowe would be a wild affair, and I slightly lean towards Bowe, but Foreman could definitely take it.
