[TheOneIsHere2008]

Lennox Lewis

Evander Holyfield ( Prime V Prime)

Mike Tyson

Joe Louis

Rocky Marciano

Jack Johnson

Jack Dempsey

Sonny Liston

[dempseyfire]

He stops Lewis, Tyson, Holyfield, and Marciano. If Holyfield fights a perfect fight he has a slim shot but he was always just too hittable.

I see Dempsey at his peak being the most elusive, fastest starting (by far), and hardest punching of the come forward swarmers . .I say he and George as a 50/50 fight, and the more I think about it the more I favor Jack.

Louis counter-punches inside of George's wider shots and knocks him out.

Johnson plays defense early and wears Foreman out, stopping him late.

Liston and Foreman would be a battle of the two hardest jabs of all time. I see Liston's superior defense, boxing ability, and strong chin prevailing, but it would be a scorcher while it lasted.

[Ezzard]

Foreman, outboxed and behind on points, KO's Lewis
Foreman KO's Marciano in 2
Foreman Holyfield is a close fight. I think Evander wins a gruelling scrap in the late rounds.
Foreman-Tyson is a 50-50 shot IMO...
Louis KOs Foreman with superior boxing skill.
Liston beats Foreman by mid to late roudns stoppage.
Foreman-Dempsey another very close fight... Almost another 50-50 but I edge towards George...

[Crease]

Lennox Lewis - Foreman KOs Lewis in the mid rounds.

Evander Holyfield - Foreman wins by points decision.

Mike Tyson - Foreman wins by KO in round 3.

Joe Louis - Joe Louis wins by late stoppage.

Rocky Marciano - Marciano wins by late KO.

Jack Johnson - Johnston could wear Foreman down, by methinks George could land the kille rshot before then.

Jack Dempsey - Foreman wins by KO round 8.

Sonny Liston - Foreman wins bo KO round 5.

Im assuming their all Prime for Prime.

Lennox Lewis - I would say Foreman would win a Late Stoppage possibly KO. Lewis relying mainly on the Jab would sooner or later get Chin-Checked.

Evander Holyfield ( Prime V Prime) - Intresting, but i would say Foreman would get the better of Holyfield and win by a UD. Holyfield will look dominant at times but i dont think he will have it in him to take on George. I dont think Holyfield can throw enough combinations, and his jab will not much effective against the George. His lack-off defense will make him an easy target against such as a big hitter.

Mike Tyson - Alot of people consider this would be the same as Foreman-George. But i would say Tyson wins this by TKO in the mid-latter rounds. Mainly because Frazier was a swarmer and usually went head-on in fights. Tyson with his technique was pretty elusive in his ring, and was used to dominating taller and bigger fighters. Sooner or later Tyson would get Combo's in which will gradually wear the big man down. Tyson has an iron jaw, which would probably be enough to take a few hits should any Hayemakers get through from Foreman.

Joe Louis - Louis Late stoppage.

Rocky Marciano - Foreman early TKO. Marciano is a bit like Frazier in the sense he fought head on and was a slugger. Sooner or later Foreman would land those bombs and the 180lbs man would always go down

Jack Johnson - Jack Johnson UD

Jack Dempsey - Foreman KO. Similar reasons as Marciano. But unlike Marciano, after a few Knockdowns, Dempsey will stay down.

Sonny Liston - Liston wins in a late stoppage or SD in a ugly match-up. With maybe a few Knockdowns throughout.

[I Feel Fine]

Lewis-Foreman... tough to say, I'll give Lewis a slight edge, with reservations.

Foreman-Holyfield... Foreman, definitely

Foreman-Tyson... Foreman, probably

Foreman-Louis... prime for prime I'll give Louis a slight edge, Foreman destroys a 32 year old Louis

Foreman-Marciano.... Foreman, definitely

Foreman-Johnson... tough to compare, but for the sake of argument I'll say Johnson close

Foreman-Dempsey... hard to picture a prime Dempsey losing a toe to toe fight, but I'll say Foreman

1973 Foreman Versus....

Lewis....I think Lewis pokes away well with his jab and is able to
break up the rythm of big george, Foreman however is able to land
broadsides on Lewis' body. Pretty fun fight to watch that can go
either way. I think Lewis wins a decison as he manages to box
inteligently, using size and movement.
Lewis UD\

Holyfield....Holy manages to stop Foreman late in the fight, landing
well and thudding shots into big george. Foreman tires in the middle
rounds as both men exchange, Holyfield being dropped in the forth round
to come back and win by late TKO.
Holyfield TKO 9

Tyson...This is a tough and ferocious fight, Foreman does well early, blasting
the fast moving tyson and keeping him at arms length. Tyson is able to zap
in with good speed and movement. As the fight wears on Tyson is able to
break Foreman down who slows up around the 7th.
Tyson TKO 8

Louis...Louis is dropped by big george in the second, and manages to mix it with
him. Both men are in trouble, but it is Louis tight inside blows that manage to
wreak havoc on Foremans chin. Both men see the final bell in a tidy but
close fight.
Louis UD.

Marciano....The rock swarms in and does his best to maul away at Foreman
attacking anything in range. The size and mass of Foreman makes it easy
for him Marciano to back him up. A tear opens above Marciano's eye as blood
drools heavily across his face and over his body. The ref just has to stop the
bout after vicious punches continue to reign in.
Foreman TKO 5.

Johnson....Foreman is all over Johnson from the get go, the crafty Johnson does
his best to clinch with Foreman, but struggles with his size and strength, as both
Texans mix it up it is Johnson that drops...a hard right uppercut from Foreman.
Back up at eight, Johnson does his best to survive the round. The fight slows up
with Johnson giving ground and working behind a light jab...Foreman the stalker
cuts him down with his jab and wide punches.
Foreman UD

Dempsey...Dempsey starts hard and fast, plowing in trying to overwelm Foreman
with fast and wild combinations. Foreman unlike Willard clinches and ties Dempsey
up, holding him and then releasing him to fire punishing blows. The second round
startes with Foreman landing his jab and pushing Dempsey back...landing uppercut
and hook hard and deep into Dempsey's jaw. Dempsey goes down...
Foreman KO 2.

[Mukel]

Foreman vs Lewis = Lewis by UD
Foreman vs Holyfield = Foreman by MD
Foreman vs Tyson = Foreman, hard to say, id say late TKO
Foreman vs Louis = Louis by UD
Foreman vs Johnson = Foreman by KO
Foreman vs Marciano = Foreman KO

[theone]

Prime Foreman beats them all, and except for maybe Holyfield, all by Ko.

Marciano and Dempsey fare the worse, both probably get stopped inside of a round.

[I Feel Fine]

Oh, I missed Liston. I would probably pick Sonny in a very competitive fight.
