Remember this famous photo that appeared in PEOPLE magazine back in 1975?

More of a "calf" really than a cow. But probably still fairly heavy even that stage. George was a strong dude. No question about it.

Looks to me more like a cow then a calf.

LOL... Poor guys lucky he didn't kill himself. George was the man. Awesome personality, great character and a hell of an impressive specimen.

I wonder how he'd do against the great Corrie Sanders or the Awesome David Tua?

He'd beat Sanders. Tua might give him some problems.

The only problem I see Tua giving big George is sore hands.

I don't know why you're so hell bent on insisting that EVERY guy who fought post 1995 was a bum. Yes I agree the heavyweight division of the past 15 + years has been weak. Yes I agree that George Foreman was an all time great who would have feasted on most of these guys. But there are a few who for stylistic reasons and otherwise could have troubled some of the hall of fame greats of the past. David Tua had a granite chin. He was never stopped and decked only once while being 38 years old and on the comeback trail. He hit like a mac truck, had a brutal left hook and was capable of going the championship distance. His best wins weren't stellar but hardly crap either. A 70's Foreman was a wrecking machine for sure. But he had poor stamina, crap defense and struggled or lost when his initial game plan failed him. Would the 1973 George Foreman who beat Joe Frazier also beat David Tua? Probably... But there's no reason whatsoever to think this is an easy fight.

I'm not hell bent on anything. I don't post rubbish like "the great Corrie Sanders". I don't make utterly ludicrous threads about bottom rung contenders being all time greats. That's you, hell bent on showing the forum how moronic you are.

There is every reason to suggest Foreman would obliterate Tua.

George doing his best Milo of Croton impression

How so?

BTW that 'calf' weighed 700 lbs!

Reminds me of old accounts in which it is said Jim Jeffries carried a 200+ pound deer some ten miles to camp while on a hunting trip.
