How long would Duran last against Foreman?

Most Heavyweights would crumble if George found them.

A more interesting question would be how would Eric Esch ("______") hold up against George.

Not well at all. Completely different levels. Butterbean fought a very aged Larry Holmes and got beat in what I begrudgingly call his prime (the fat bastard). If he was to fight a prime George Foreman I would put everything I own on not hearing the bell to end the first round and a reinforced stretcher being needed to carry Esch from the Arena, fighting for his life may I add.

I once listened to a radio show where they discussed Foremans power and they asked a doctor how an everyday man who doesn't train his neck muscles to take big punches etc off a pro boxer, would go on if Foreman hit them and the doctor just basically said that their neck would more than likely be broken. That is some seriously frightening power.

I don't disagree but with Homes it was his one and only ten rounder. To my knowledge, I don't think he's ever been KO'd. I don't know if he could keep out of the way of Foreman's right and still be standing at the end of 4 rounds. In a very ugly way he kinda fought like old George in that he just kept slowly coming looking for a way to connect.
