    Who wins in a 12 round fight?

    Young Foreman had beastly power and aggression, but was rocked a number of times, virtually out on his feet on a couple of occasions, and was KO'ed by Ali.

    Old Foreman had some defense, smarts, seemingly better stamina, still had some power, but was older and even slower than young Foreman.

    So who wins if a cosmic disturbance somehow put them in the ring together?

    Old takes the Young to deep waters and drowns him outright.

    Young Foreman... Crazy that Ali beat him, and old was able to come back and win his title back 20 years later...

    Speaks volumes of how great Ali's victory was.

    Young Foreman grinds down his older self and stops him in 7-8 rounds.

    Old Foreman never faced anyone that had the power or ability to trade with him. His stamina wasn't any better, he just paced himself better during his second incarnation. He was able to take the odd breather when he needed to as he was always the one looking to engage.

    Young Foreman is relentless and doesn't stop coming and the ref intervenes to save him while still on his feet.

    Young Foreman goes all out early & unloads everything he has...
    The older & wise George lets the young man punch himself out then throws a tree trunk like jab followed by a straight right hand right down the pipe knocking out the the George with a fro.

    Bald George by KO over Fro George.

    I know:patsch

    He honestly is the first one I think of in regards to old and young Foreman.:lol:

    Crazy how those true ATG wins can leave such an impression.

    Its ridiculous to say that old Foreman has any shot in this fight... young Foreman demolished Joe Frazier in two rounds, old Foreman was outboxed by Tommy Morrison... enough said.

    I think it would be similar to Foreman-Chuvalo and younger Foreman stops the older sitting duck Foreman whilst still on his feet.

    Old Foreman is smarter and would wear young Foreman out, and KO him. Young Foreman was very crude, and old Foreman would exploit that. Old Foreman has the benefits of knowing all of Young Foreman's tactics, whereas Young Foreman does not know all of Old Foreman's tactics.
