He wouldn't beat Byrd.
The Brewster fight would resemble the Lyle fight. The Rahman fight wud resemble the Norton fight. The Wladimer fight would be good until Wladimer got caught but Wladimer is 250 and knows how to use i and back then there weren't many "very good" 250 pound heavyweights. Ruiz would resemble the Tua fight ;D
Yes. He wins all 4 belts with 4 KOs.Quote:

Screw the 90's I think Geroge Foreman would be heavyweight Champion right now ! Oleg is made to order !Quote:

yea i agree and he would eventually catch wlad and ko wlad is chinny and wouldnt take awesome power of foreman no way and foreman has got something u cant teach alot of heart and good chin and the old fighting spirit ;D
I doubt that Manny would have Wlad go for the KO...I can see Wlad dancing around George for 10-12 rounds.
Big George would have a time with Valuev but since Nikky can't move so fast i say George drops his ass in 6
Sergei has a decent chin on him Foreman could earn a UD though
Maskaev would brawl with George which is a "no no" for anyone until George is like 80
Young Foreman would be champ in about any era ever

I know there will always be the tale of 2 Georges but the George that sticks out to me is the the I watched as a Teenager... The George that was humble,charismatic, light hearted with the infectous smile.....
I always felt that his loss to Muhammed Ali was probably the best thing that could of Happened to him since it had residual effects in his life eventually it really humbled him..He found spiritual happiness, peace and contenment as well as having the opportunity to re write his career and leave an even bigger and better legacy in the ring as well as opening the door for many business opportunities and success, Commentating etc.... He is one of a kind!!!!! A true inspiration
I agree with the general consensus Wlad would give him the toughest time in this era, Like Lyle said Wlad would have to Box and stay alert if he Go's for the KO and leaves himself open George will catch him.... ;)
