How would the match have gone?

I'd actually take Old George...

Young George would go nuts on Old Fatty, and try knocking him out the whole fight, and end up tired, and on his back before the fight was over.

25 year old foreman knocked out ponderously slow 42 yearold foreman in 3 rounds

I agree with Tyson on this one. Even big George wouldn't be able to withstand the shots his younger version would give him, and he wouldn't be fast enough to get in enough of his shots while getting battered.

I actually think this one can be over in round 1.

George has a steel chin though, he's not going down in the first round, I don't care who hits him.

You have to consider LiL George's mentality, and stamina.

I think it would be an interesting fight to say the least, regardless of who won.

Too bad no one has a time machine yet, lol.

Ya I know old George is tough, but the question is could he survive shots as powerful as his own? Young George could keep that pace up for atleast 5 rounds.

Someone call Sigmund Freud! What would he think of an older man fighting his younger self?

But the idea is, Old George knows LiL George, not vise versa.

True, but knowing a guy inside and out still doesn't garuntee a win. Look at his fights with Morrison and Holyfield.

I think the Young Foreman destroys the old bastard. Foreman really didn't have many weapons when he was old, he jsut had experience and his chin wasn't great.

exactly, he comeback was based on the fact that the divison was completely weak.

George is one of the very few top rated heavyweights, if not the only one, that never got ko-d or imposed a count upon, during the years of his come-back (1987-1997), so claiming his chin wasnt that great is not backed by the facts.

erm...who questioned his chin? Tua conceeded he was tough and Tantum called his chin steel?

Or are you just making a suggestion?

Ya, but who the Hell listens to Justin

Besides that one guy who replied to him

It's no contest. Young Foreman knocks himself out early.

I think if you could combine the best qualities of young george and old george into one fighter you might have the best heavyweight ever.

Ah, but could young George outeat old George? The older version wins the pie eating contest by a country mile.

I think Flex would beat robsteth in a deepthroating contest, but hey, that's just my opinion.

The division was not weak, but Foreman was selective in his opponents.
