Who could beat a prime George Foreman?

[brownpimp88]

your not saying louis shouldn't be in the tp ten are you?:

I was saying dempsey shouldnt, everyone in my top 10 is better than jack dempsey.

[joelouisbarrow]

your right ellis bonavena and quarry they can hardly hold a candle up to 'two ton' galento now can they?!

my point was that as much as i like frazier his wins were against mediocre opposition ( im sorry but i rate ellis and bonavena as mediocre ) and a 3 + year rusty ali...i actually dont know why im arguing this as i always have frazier in my top 10...just not as high as dempsey or marciano

[hemichromis]

two ton tony was very underated

i agree he was quick for his size and had a nice left hook even if it was amatuerish. but he really is nowhere near as good as quarry or bonavena

the way i see it frazier has a good chance of beating a prime ali or any boxer actually. but any good big slugger would be able to overcome him quite easily
i have him around 7th just behind liston i believe

then i disagree almost as strongly dempsey is a slightly slower but more powerful tyson he was smaller but a much smarter fighter with aggression similar to tyson. he could give any of your top ten a very good fight and should be in the top ten IME however if you have him at 11 i'll forgive you

[joelouisbarrow]

my top ten is..
1..joe louis
2..muhammad ali
3..rocky marciano
4..jack dempsey
5..mike tyson
6..evander holyfield
7..jack johnson
8..sonny liston
9..joe frazier
10..larry holmes

You allowed the guy to influence you, thats pretty weak man. Foreman would have crushed dempsey and marciano, they are tailor made to lose to him. Well, expect k-dogg to make some bull**** reply as to how they can beat him.

Joe Frazier can never beat foreman, all he can do is bob and weave his way into foreman's reach and get smoked.
