pretty much what i would go for too

Tyson didn't have it in him to beat Foreman.

And I don't see how Patterson lasts 14 with Rocky.

Tyson did have the boxing skills and punching power to beat Big George.

Floyd could move well and it would take Rocky that long to batter and catch him.

since when was George Foreman blasted out by a single punch? IMO Foreman would have battered Mike similar to how he beat up Frazier, sledgehammers banging on him every time he would lunge forward

as for Patterson, he would have been dispatched by around the 4th

Good God!! What a fight that would of been!

I've always dreamed about Foreman vs Holmes, that to me, is like a missing piece of boxing history.

In regards to the OP, I actually think Floyd would destroy Walcott... I think too much get's made of what Sonny did to him.
The Floyd that destroyed Archie Moore would give Walcott something he'd never ever seen before.
