Which heavyweight could outslug prime George Foreman?

[BattlingNelson]

Tyson
Liston
Louis

stand a chance of catching and hurting him with crisper shots mid-exchange, but I wouldn't necessarily bet on it.

Also Vitali Klitschko would have a shot.

[BKM-2010]

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.

[SBleeder]

Prime Sonny Liston would KO prime Foreman within six rounds.

There was a lot of talk of Foreman and Quarry meeting in late 1973 and contrary what some have said, Foreman was interested in the fight. 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:

I think the whole 'foreman was scared of quarry' thing has been blown out of proportion a bit

I have posted in the forums MANY TIMES a video in which we can see and here from Foreman himself that ''the only man he ever ducked was Quarry''

it is not a myth

I don't feel like posting it again, you guys should know that....

I wouldn't pay much heed to what Foreman says these days. This is the same amiable modern Foreman who claims he was scared stiff of Joe Frazier and wanted to duck Ken Norton.

And you can't be called P4P best boxer in the world unless you fight James Page.

why not ? Frazier was a beast, and undefeated

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)

hell no

Foreman would walk him down and split his face open with his right hand just like Lewis did
