Old bald George was a smart fighter and may have been able to tire out lean and mean George. Old bald George wins the middle and late rounds to get a decision.

I don't think any other fighters of the 90s or today could beat young George Foreman but maybe old George could pull it off.

I think Young George might win by decision. He would be able to jump to an early lead, and most likely keep it close as the rounds go by. The decision would be a close one.

Of course old George would know exactly what he would have to do to beat the younger one, and would no doubt exploit the younger George's weaknesses. I just don't know if he would have it in him. He may catch the 70's Foreman tiring late in the fight.

Tough call. I wonder what George would say.

George always said that he was a better fighter the second time around. But then again, he couldn't have said anything else or he'd amit to being shot.
I'd take George II over George I; he'd outlast him and IMO that's the key to beating lean, mean George. If Jimmy Young and Muhammad Ali could knock over George after weathering the early storm, then George II certainly could.
