Who else could take a 74 Foreman.

[Easy-E]

I think Ali is one of the VERY few people, if not the only person that could take out Foreman.

Ali
And possibly Joe Louis.

Anyone else got some ideas.

louis would get ktfo'd against the foreman who lost to ali.
louis didnt have a strong chin by any means

yeah, he sure would!

[JT1967]

Larry Holmes. Don't laugh...He could never be intimidated by anyone. He had the size and jab to put Foreman off his game...He also took some big punches off Cooney in '82...A 1988 Mike Tyson would also have been too much for Big George...No one else in the modern era other than these two.

Prime Tyson - No chance, ducked an old Foreman and Cus was confident that Tyson would never beat Foreman.
Prime Holyfield - Went the distance with an old Foreman
Prime Bowe - No way
Lennox Lewis - Nope
Ali - Yep
Rocky Marciano - Marciano dies.

Forman

I think only Ali could have beaten Forman in 74 and even he might not be able to do it twice. Here's why. George as clumsy and as awkward and inexperienced as he was...still hit harder than anyone ever hit. Believe Ali when he said, he was never hit that hard in a fight and felt as if he was actually out on some of the punches George hit him with.

And it was a gamble with his life! Ali's CHIN won the fight against Forman more than any other relative factor. He wasn't the beautiful dancer and skilled technician of the sixties...so you guys who keep selling that Ali and these other guys were too crafty for George, remember this, the only thing that saved Ali against Forman in 1974 was his amazing ability to take punishment...this set him apart from Frazier, Norton, Bonaveana, Shavers or any of the guys from that era. I'm not saying a crafty boxer in his prime, like Larry Holmes or Jimmy Young, couldn't beat George but only Ali could have done what he did in 74...and like I said, I wouldn't bet that he could take George's power a second time if they fought again.

Actually, they all have a shot against Foreman. I know for sure these guys could beat Foreman. And please, back up your ''confident Cus'' who knew Tyson would loose.

Cus Damatto said on many occasions that no swarmers including Tyson, Frazier or Marciano have any chance against Foreman. Tyson ducked an old Foreman and was **** scared of him.

But Foreman's trainer said that Foreman was scared to death by Frazier, Lyle and Young...You see me backing it up with proof? No, so give me a link.
