George Foreman was powerful enough to knock out anybody and I can envision him stopping Larry Holmes as well. And I would surely be cheering for Foreman.
But Holmes was very skilled, had tons of heart, great stamina and a cast iron chin. This forces me to believe that Holmes would be victorious. I believe that because of his chin and great defensive skills, he would weather the early storm and come back to outbox the rapidly fading Foreman.
Larry Holmes by UD.

They were scheduled to meet in 76 but Larry got hurt against Williams so Foreman met Ledoux instead. George would have KOed him back then. George beat better comp than Larry could ever think of and has more KOs than Larry has career victories.

It can be argued both ways:
Holmes is a more powerful version of Ali, thus he would beat Foreman.
OR
Foreman is a much better version of Shavers, thus Foreman could finish of Holmes.

Originally posted by supaduckHolmes isn't a more powerful version of Ali. He is more powerful, but he isn't as good a boxer.
Also, Foreman fought Ali stupidly. He could have won if he tried a different stradegy.
