Hard to say,he almost proved a plodding style would work,and he had a huge punch.
I can see anyone giving him major problems,but I could see a couple of good fights in there

Without getting too into it we always have to remember one thing with George....He can change the scene of the big men with just one punch even if he is getting his ass kicked!!!!....
They say power is the last thing to go....I always wanted to see Georges prime power against today's crop!!!!! They would lay down like bowling pins....

George Foreman vs Mike Tyson = Foreman by KO early Tyson didn't have the head movement in the 90s, so this would basically beat a repeat of Foreman vs Frazier the 2nd fight.
George Foreman vs Evander Holyfield = Well we see what happened when the older Foreman went up against a prime Holyfield. And i think Foreman won 4 rounds and he hurt Holyfield badly in spots. I see the fight going similar with Holyfield outboxing Foreman, but this time when Foreman hurts Holyfield he finishes him off round about the 8th round.
George Foreman vs Riddick Bowe = Tough one but i don't think Riddick Bowe fared too well against, Heavyweights who were as big as him. See Tony Tubbs, Tyrell Biggs, Andrew Golota. They all gave Riddick Bowe trouble and i don't think Riddick Bowe's chin was that solid either, plus he liked to fight on the inside, which would be suicidial against Foreman, i see Foreman stopping Bowe in 6.
George Foreman vs Lennox Lewis = Lennox Lewis would have the best chance against Foreman, style wise he is a nightmare for Foreman. And i can see Lewis giving Foreman a boxing lesson over 12 rounds, but i can also see Lewis losing his concentration which he often did at times. And i see Foreman laying out Lewis while behind on points. Tough one to call could go either way.
Whoops i misread the title i thought it said Foreman vs the 90s Heavyweights my bad. But anyway Vitali and Wladimir would be the worst style match up for Foreman, but i see Foreman stopping Vitali in 7 and Wladimir in 3. All the other Heavyweights get crushed no question.
very wellklits stand the best chance but still think george wins, the vitaly that fought lennox would be a 50/50 fight not a great style match for big george
Vitali Klitschko gets very overrated for his fight against Lennox Lewis, Lewis was out of shape and fought possibly one of the worst fights of his career. Vitali may have an iron chin but he keeps his left hand too low and he would get clocked against Foreman sooner or later.

You see the 90's version of George Foreman stopping Vitali in 7 and Wlad in 3?
The 90's version?
The slow, fat, plodding version that was barely more impressive then then the 21st century Holyfield but that got lucky with a freak punch against Michael Moorer to win a world title at 45?
That George Foreman?
There is no way the Foreman that beat Moorer would KO Vitali and Wlad, both of them would keep on the outside and jab their ways to comfortable points decisions.
Now a prime George Foreman would have whupped their asses but the 45 year old George Foreman wouldn't do anything against Wlad and Vitali.
Why does it have to be the 45 year old version ? why not the George Foreman that gave Evander Holyfield a hell of a fight in 1991 ? and you know what makes me laugh Bilbo is you say the old slow plodding George Foreman, but Samuel Peter is basically a very poor man's George Foreman and he had Wladimir Klitschko on the canvas 3 times. If Samuel Peter can do that then im sure George Foreman can and actually finish the job unlike Samuel Peter.
As for Vitali Klitschko i question his heart. He quit against Chris Byrd, and Vitali Klitschko couldn't even beat a slow plodding out of shape Lennox Lewis, who was basically reduced to the same speed as an old Foreman. Vitali Klitschko is very overrated and i don't think he is anywhere near Wladimir Klitschko skill wise, i think Vitali Klitschko is there to be hit. And even though George Foreman is old he can still bang and not even, Vitali Klitschko's chin could stand up to Foreman's power.

If you look at the videos on YOUTUBE George had decent handspeed by todays standards.He also used his size to push guys around and ware them down.
The 90s George had problems with good movers so I think he might have a few problems against Klitchko but apart from him I think he stands a good chance against any of todays HW.

I don't know about Klitschko bros. They have proved that they can both get a bit macho difference is that when Wlad does it he gets KO'd so if he did that against Ol' George he would def be staring at the ceiling. Same with Vitali he doesn't mind being punched and he has always taken it very well but he has never fought anyone who punches like George. Do you know why? because no-one has ever punched like George.
I'd go for two decision win for the Brothers as long as they stayed out of the way of his power shots (especially Wlad)
