    Who could beat a prime George Foreman?

    Although most of these would be hypothetical, which list of fighters could be able to beat a prime George Foreman? Keep it 1920- please

    Muhammad Ali DID...but the rest of my list I have a hard time thinking of. Sonny Liston is all that comes to mind.

    You took the words right out of my mouth. I only have Ali and Liston ranked above him as well.

        A Foreman uppercut would bend that in half as well!

          Foreman is overrated. You can't possibly pick anyone to beat him, you'll get eaten alive around here.

          On a serious note, i have some people in mind that could.

          Boxers:
          Ali
          Holmes
          Young
          Lewis
          Louis

          Sluggers/Swarmers:
          Liston
          Ibeabuchi
          Tua
          Tyson
          Vitali(i aint kidding)
          Lyle

          Some others have a shot aswell. Remember, Foreman is human, he could be outslugged or outboxed. And the topic is: who could beat a prime George Foreman.

              Foreman ain't losing to a 180 lb guy in a thong.

                Dempsey, Firpo, Louis, Lyle, Celeveland Williams, Tyson (uphill battle for him), Marciano (same), Max Baer, Johnson, Ali, Liston, Quarry, Langford, Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield (maybe) Vitali Klitschko, Wladimir Klitschko, David Tua, Samuel Peter, Ruddock, Shavers, the list goes on and on for guys I would give a chance at beating Foreman.

                Who would I favor against him? Entirely different question and of course the list is a lot shorter. Liston, Dempsey, Ali, Holmes, and Louis would have the best chances IMO.

                  Ruddock? Never.

                    I agree here.

                    pretty much all these guys have a good chance at beating Foreman.
