Which heavyweight could outslug prime George Foreman?

Rony Lyle pretty much did that, or actually fell short by a tiny margin.
Other than him, Sonny Liston would have a good chance. Although he's not that fast he's not as crude as Foreman.
Rid**** Bowe if he had defense as well. And believe it or not, but Holyfield could slug with anyone in his prime and with his heart, he could give Foreman a lot of problems.

However, around that time he signed to meet Norton fresh off his Ali win, then he fought Ali and lost, and by the time he came back in 1976 Quarry was out of the picture. I don't see anything to suggest him running scared of Quarry.Foreman OKs Quarry Fight:

no one could have foreseen that Foreman would just go in there and obliterate him
I don't know about being afraid of Ken Norton, but he could punch
same with Ali, he has admitted that he was scared to death prior to fighting Liston the first time, it is not that surprising, Liston was a very intimidating champion
if Jimmy Young was good enough to beat George, Quarry would have had very good chances too (better beard and better power)
