Vs. George Foreman from the first Frazier fight, I'd bet on:
Ali/Clay, any version 1963 to 1977.
Joe Louis, from maybe 1937 until 1947-48.
Holmes, any championship version before Spinks
Liston, 1958 through 1968 or so. (Yes, I think the Liston who lost to Clay/Ali beats Foreman).
If you gave me 2-1 odds, I'd bet on Holyfield.
Call me crazy, but I'd take the same spread on Ezzard Charles... Ok, maybe it would have to be 4-1.
That's about it. Dempsey, Frazier, Tyson, the Brothers Klitschko, Lewis... not a chance in hell across the board.
Jack Johnson... I'd favor Foreman here, but Johnson certainly had the skill to give him problems.
