Roy wins this. George hadn't got any knockouts in any of his last 4 bouts. So even though they say "Power is the last thing to go" it had gone by then. The knockouts weren't there anymore. He could still hit guys hard enough to make 'em back up, and be cautious of his power, but he didn't score anymore KO's.

Roy would've won a decision over the George from the Briggs fight.

I agree. Foreman's biggest problem (during much of comeback period) was that he could not follow up when he got a guy hurt. He just did not have the energy.

Speed kills. It would be a nightmare for Big George. He is not catching the great Roy Jones, Jr. Jones by a shutout.
