I go with the older Geroge....Slower a bit yes ( but then again when was Geroge even considered slightly fast or even average).....But like stated before the older George knew how to be patient...he was better conditioned ( mostly due to knowing how to relax in the ring)...he rolled with the punches to take starch off.....He would be patient let the younger version punch himself out while getting in enought shots to help wear younger geroge down to the body more then get the KO around 9 or 10
