Jack Dempsey
Rocky Marciano
Mike Tyson

In my humble opinion he could ko all of those greats.

Agree with Scallum, I'd give Dempsey the best chance.

What '73 Foreman would do to Marciano would be obscene.

Of the three opponents named, if I'm betting money, I would give prime Tyson the best shot. (not saying he would win)

I give Dempsey a slight edge, Foreman the favorite vs Tyson and Rocky.

No way!!!!!!!

Foreman massacres Marciano and knocks out Tyson in a spirited battle while it lasts.
Dempsey is a difficult one to pick but would definetly be the hardest of the 3 fights for Foreman.

You would have to give them all a puncher's chance, but the odds are that Foreman would have stopped each of them within 5 rounds. May have been exciting while it lasted.

Foreman may be hard to quantify. He ALWAYS has a chance. Bit of a loose cannon bet. But the best boxers with great chins stand the best chance. Was Dempsey one of those?

I think he beats Marciano as he is too big and powerful for him as Marciano fought career high 192lbs and that was in his debut so he would be giving at least 25-30lbs to Foreman and Foreman would easily tie him and lean on him in the clinches to tire him out with that and his big shots before stopping him in the mid to later rounds. As for facing a prime Tyson. He would absorb everything that Tyson would throw at him and would drop a demoralised Tyson twice before Tyson quits knowing he cannot shift Big George. As for Dempsey it would be a thrilling one.

The great Mike Tyson has the best chance. Dempsey and Marciano are too small for Big George
