    George Foreman was 47 years old against Shannon Briggs and it was his last fight, plus by the sounds of it you haven't seen the fight. Because George Foreman was robbed against Shannon Briggs, thats why there was an investigation regarding the decision.

    Michael Moorer and Tommy Morrison are much faster than both of the Klitschko brothers, Tommy Morrison had to use his feet for 12 rounds. And Michael Moorer used quick handspeed and decent movement and fought the best fight of his career. None of the Klitschko brothers are good movers, and there punches are robotic like.

    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.
    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 think he can beat them, the foreman of the 90s had a chin. so u would have to outbox him to win.

    The Klit brothers would beat that Gerorge, in fact he would not have fought them. He stands a better chance against the others but do not think he could beat Valuev either. The faster defensive boxers would also pose him a lot of trouble.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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)
