        He had a short prime but he was very good in it. The Foreman who won the title from Frazier would probably beat every heavyweight fighting right now. Wlad is too old. Joshua might trouble him with his speed and power but his chin would probably get him KOed. Ortiz is too old and slow. Fury never saw the day he could beat a prime Foreman.Wilder has a weak chin and a poor defense and Foreman would only need a round or two to put him away.

              Foreman only had problems with slick boxers. There really isn't any that stand out today. He KO's them all none could handle his power. Foreman's chin was solid.

                  LOL he would be undispusted champion, these guys today are garbage.

                  Foreman was 6 foot 4 and 230 pounds of lean solid muscle he was a monster in his prime.

                    Old Foreman from the 90's would beat a lot of today's HW's.
