Who else could take a 74 Foreman.

Yeah, I've seen plenty of Foreman...And?

Byrd had a tricky & elusive boxing style that was proven to give Foreman fits even before and after the fight with Ali, so what is Foreman going to do effectively against Byrd that he wasn't all that capable of doing against others?

as i said before he would give him trouble, but foreman would still win. you need ali-like or holmes-like skills to beat a prime foreman.

You say you need Ali-like skills to beat Foreman, and I'll say a fighter needs just a little bit more than 35/36 year-old former Light Heavyweight Gregorio Peralta skills to beat Foreman, as long as they're fighting a smart defensive fight againt him...like a Jimmy Young or what Chris Byrd showed in the past.

but with foreman's power and quickness, he would catch most boxers and knock them out anyway.

Lewis would beat Foreman, he would outbox him all night long imo.
Lewis rarely got hit in the chin, he would too much of a techinal boxer for George to handle.

George beats Tyson, Louis, Frazier, Marciano, Tua, Holmes (tough one), Shavers and many others.
Im not too sure about Lewis and Evander though.....George was a very heavy puncher but beatable imo.

on his best night, he does.

Yeah well, apparently you're having a difficult time realizing that Foreman never came close to having a "best night" when facing fighters of that similiar style.

[Kid Achilles]

Marciano never lost a fight. On his best night he comes from behind and stops ANYONE. Ali, Foreman, Liston, Tyson, Jason, Freddy Kreuger, King Kong. Doesn't matter. Too powerful and too much heart for any of those guys. I can't see it any other way.

Double sigh. That is so pathetic I think I'm gonna cry.
