George Foreman fighting in 2009!

[Chase8400]

A 48 year old Foreman was robbed against Shannon Briggs. Briggs was in no way any better when he lost to Ibragimov.

That's a matter of opinion and the results were facts. Briggs was more fundamentally sound when facing Sultan in my opinion, but def. had allot less endurance. It's all speculation when it comes down to it and this is just a hypothetical, but based on the poll results from people who understand the question, I'm not alone in my thinking.

You are entitled to your opinion and I can respect that as well. That's why I created the poll thread. Thanks for participating.

this is the worst heavyweight era that has ever existed. George right now could probably win another title. I mean look at the recent champs we've had. Some of the absolute worst in history: IBRAGIMOV?!? LIAKHOVICH?!?! BREWSTER?!?! BRIGGS!!!!!! It doesn't get any worse than that. Big George would have destroyed every current heavyweight in his prime.

Noted..............but the poll was not for him in his prime, it reads "had he returned now".

Foreman would have beaten the top guys in today's heavyweight division.

Even during his comeback run? I have to dissagree.

[TEXSTRO]

Comeback George would obliterate any heavyweight now...I honestly dont think nobody can match his power in todays HW division..He punches looked slow but they always got there in time to get the K.O....Klits would get beat..One would gas out and the other would get knocked out..Hayes chin would crumble if Big George touched it..Klits just look good cause theres no comp!!!!

You also said weak title holder I guess that includes all HW title holders huh..

[DiegoFuego]

I'll take comeback Foreman over any heavyweight today except maybe Vitali

Being from Houston, I can understand you are a fan. But to say that the Klitschko's would get beat is close to idiotic if Shannon Briggs beat him. Forget the KO because sam Peter was more dangerous than Foreman was in his comeback years. Either Klitschko would dismantle the stand up, and no leg movement Foreman. The question is more-less whether you think he could have got a belt overall in this day and age.

Yes, the poll includes all the current title holders. the Klitschko's control 3 of the 4 and the other is tied up with Valuev and Chagaev. So, the real question is if he could beat any of the fighters listed above during his comeback run. I don't think he could, but that is just my opinion and I accept yours no matter how off based it is.

Well for one....Shannon did win but it was controversial...In peoples eyes Foreman won so you can forget that noise...Sam Peter Dangerous? When? everybody tends to look like superstars in a division full of nobodies.. Did I mention the supposed loss to Briggs was already in 97..HIs comeback started in early 90...Cmon now..And if there was any chance the klits could beat foreman it would be in the end of his career...I think he could have gotten more than one belt..like you said its just my IMO..

In his prime, Foreman would have wiped the floor with Wladimir. Vitali would have been in the fight certainly, but it's hard to favor him over the more athletic and physically stronger Foreman, who had his own iron chin to boot and much better power.

But to ask about Valuev, Chagaev and David Haye is just ridiculous.

Fair enough, but if you read closely you will realize that the poll is refering to his comback years between 1987-97. Not his prime which was around the time he beat Joe Frazier by KO twice.

Foreman wouldn't have fought Lewis, who was a tall jabber like the Klitschkos.
