      Then we should add James Toney to the list, only to see his reaction. LMAO

          No way. Give the heavyweights today a little credit. I think Wlad would give him all sorts of problems because of skill but he wouldnt be able to handle George's power for too long. So unless Wlad KO's him early he would GET KO'd. Rahman's style would be easy for Foreman, I never saw Serg and Valuev fight.

            yes. Foreman will KO Wlad in 1 punch in 1 Round and then the rest should flow as planned. Valuev will get his ass whooped. Rahamn will fold easy. Then that Russian guy is a unknown unknown that Foreman will figure easy.

              Big George is starting to sound a little like Chuck Norris, can he divide by zero too?

                I think a prepared Klitschko would give George the most trouble out of those fighters, at least until George catches WK with one of those brutal jabs that he hurt a young evander holyfield with(tyson couldn't daze an old holyfield with power shots)

                  Forget all in one night. All at the same time.

                  No, but in all seriousness, yes, Foreman woulda knocked all them out within 3 rounds.

                  Wlad has a glass jaw, and Foreman has a goddamned heavy ass punch.

                    C'mon, let's stop the insanity here. George was a big puncher; but he ain't no god, C'MON!!

                    Who are the champs: Wladimir Klitschko
                    Sergei Liakovich
                    Hasim Rahman
                    Nicolay Valuev


                    There is NO WAY IN HELL Foreman knocks 'em all out in the same night. NO WAY!!!

                    Klitchko hung in with Sam Peter for 12 rounds.
                    Liakhovich took a beating from Brewster in the 5th and still came back. DID YOU SEE THOSE PUNCHES HE TOOK FLUSH?!!
                    Valueve is HUGE...FREAKIN HUGE; a 300 Lb man is not invincible by any means; but we're talking after George has kayoed Rahman, wrestled with Klitschko, and pounded on Likhovich's iron jaw.

                    4 men in one night. George couldn't even stop 4 journey men of 5 in the same night in his prime, and some of y'all think he's gonna stop 4 world rated fighters. Right.

                    Please, wake up and smell the napalm. Please!

                      Let me start by saying that I'm a huge Foreman fan. I agree, George was a large, very strong fighter in his era, but when he was in shape, he weighed about as much as Holyfield which is an average/borderline small heavyweight. I also don't see anyone mentioning that he had trouble stopping smaller fighters in his prime, even though he probably gave them brain damage. Another point is that Lyle had him in terrible trouble in their fight, and Lyle weighs what, 210? I would still give him the strength edge over Brewster and Liakovich, but both of them have more skills overall. Wlad I would say is physically just as strong as Foreman, and I'd probably give Wlad the edge in strength, and overall boxing ability for that matter. Valuev would simply be too large for Foreman to muscle around. IMO it goes like this: Foreman KO's or TKO's Brewster, either TKO's Liakovich or fights him to a draw, Loses to Wlad simply because Lyle almost KO'd him and Wlad hits much harder and has the reach, and He takes Valuev on a decision. Never, never would any of this happen in one night though.

                      Edit: I forgot Rahman's a champ lol
                      Doesn't matter, Foreman would probably have the easiest time with Rahman anyway, he wouldn't use his strength enough and allow Foreman to barge in and back him up until finally one of those haymaker bombs landed and wither KO'd him or caused the ref to stop it.
