This is a fun fight, actually.

I might pick the 1991 George over Povetkin. Specifically, if we take that George from the Holyfield fight.

Post 1991 - Povetkin can outbox and outwork him.

But what's notable is that Povetkin overall represents a suitable style for Old Foreman. He won't have to go look for Povetkin, he won't have to chase him (something, that aged Foreman struggled with). Plus, Povetkin's leaky defense - George will be finding home for his hard jabs and overhands.

Either Povetkin wins a close decision or Foreman stops him late in the fight.

Povetkin would outbox Old George, like Schulz did, when he was robbed.
