    A somewhat difficult-to-envision fight, IMO.

    Advantages for Foreman would be a strength advantage in the clinch, a superior jab, & better focus when the heat's on.

    Advantages for Baer, with faster velocity taken into account, he would probably be the more damaging puncher of the two, & would enjoy the edge in reflexes & endurance. Each man has a great beard, but both are monster hitters.

    What do you chaps think?

    I have a hard time picturing Big George losing in a battle of "bullies".

    Even old George.

    You'd pick this Foreman against Dempsey? Liston? Tyson?
