Who could beat a prime George Foreman?

Well, what am I supposed to do when I don't have any readily available contradictory documents on hand?

Ok, here's what you could do, my friend;

Go into the bathroom, stare into the mirror, turn off the light, and repeat after me...

"Foreman ducked Quarry"

"Foreman ducked Quarry"

"Foreman ducked Quarry"

etc., etc., etc...Say that about 20, 25 times in total, or however many times you may need until it's once again embedded inside of you and to the point where even a powerful "charm human" spell from the hands of that evil wizard Sabbath would prove very unsuccessful.

If you are in any way referring to the a proposed Foreman vs. Quarry heavyweight title bout that was tentatively scheduled for June 20, 1974, at Madison Square Garden

Nope, I wasn't.

Foreman not ducking Quarry is almost as dumb as Greedo shooting first.

Foreman would have annihilated Quarry.

Jerry Quarry is one of the best Heavyweights of all times. He out boxed Floyd Patterson out punched Earnie Shavers. He was flashy, good looking; but never became champion. Quarry boxed Jimmie Ellis and fought toe to toe Joe Frazier; on these occasions if he had only switched tactics he could have been Heavyweight Champion of the World. When I became Heavyweight Champion of the World I dodged him, purposely.

If you're not used to Foreman heaping overly maudlin praise on fighters then you haven't been watching HBO for the last decade.

If I was to believe everything Foreman has said over the years, he was drugged against Ali, he purposely didn't want to knockout Tommy Morrison, he was terrified of Joe Frazier (yeah looked real scared smashing Frazier to the canvas 6 times), he carried Jimmy Young so the network could get their commercials in..... I might as well still put a tooth under my pillow and leave out milk and cookies every December 25th.

Foreman won the title from Frazier in early 1973. At the end of 1972 Quarry wasn't even ranked in the top 10. Foreman then proceeded to defend against Norton (who was #1 from March-Sept 73) and sign for Ali who had been the #1 contender for the better part of four years. Ali-Frazier II in January 1974 was a heavyweight elimination fight with the winner to fight Foreman.

If signing to fight Muhammad Ali the mandatory #1 challenger by defeating Frazier (Foreman had yet to make a mandatory) for a then unheard of $5 million dollars instead of substantially less money against a 4th rated fighter who hadn't even been in the top 10 the previous year constitutes ducking, then you're stretching the realm of believabilty.
