1973 George Foreman smokes EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!

Bonecrusher was a negative git
that fight. He did nothing but spoil the fight until the end. BTW I am not saying for certain Tyson would win but that probably would be the most exciting heavyweight fight of all time. Prime George v Prime Tyson.

Sometimes it takes an English phrase to get things just right!

I would agree if you said 1973 George Foreman with the knowledge, ring savvy, defense, and more polished skill set of the older George Foreman. Just think if the young Foreman had all of that?

george was interviewed and said that with his knowledge he would not have been silly enough to try and knock out Ali but try and win the fight on points with his jab. That may have worked.

Well Jimmy Young beat him quite comfortably points wise, and also took his best in 7th round and come right back.

Jimmy Young was very underrated he deserved decisions against. Shavers, Norton, Ali, but thats the way it goes.

As for George Foreman blowing away everyone, i think he loses to these guys.

Muhammad Ali obviously
Jimmy Young again
Larry Holmes
Lennox Lewis

There's probably quite a few others aswell, basically anyone who's a good mover with a good defense and a solid enough chin has a chance.

It is a big shame that Larry Holmes never got hold of George as he would have beaten him any and every time.

I heard George Foreman was avoiding him, when they were both in there 40's making there comeback. But i don't know if thats true or not, but what i do know. Is that Larry Holmes's comeback was very underrated.

He beat up Ray Mercer, lost a close decision to Evander Holyfield. And deserved to be world champion at 45 but lost a razor thin close decision to Oliver McCall, which i think he won 7 rounds to 5.

That's what I mean Holmes would have beaten George at that time. They were due to fight I think. ICB you forgot to mention Holmes beat the great Butterbean as well.

I remember Holmes dropping his name alot, but think he was doing to Foreman what Foreman was doing with Tyson in comeback. Big bank and yeh...he believed he would whip George.

Holmes just flat out schooled Mercer...sort of picked up where Damiani left off before his nose was turned into a fire hose by Mercer. That was fun to watch. Holmes did well in run but had more then a few part time stunt doubles along the way. Still can't figure what that Paul poieir (?) thing was. If you didnt catch his fight with Quinn Navarre check it out see what you think. Been a while but I thought Navarre just boxed Holmes silly...bit of a rob job.
