If u knew about boxing u would know George Foreman is retired.

i dont follow george foremen thats why i was shocked about this topic cause i thought he retired and looks like he has.

Couple of things...

-You mean "mythical" matchup.
-Foreman is retired
-Chris Byrd is not what he once was.
-Foreman is NOT unskilled. Yes was fought very raw. He wasn't as skilled as an Ali or Holmes, but he knew how to use his jab, cut off the thing and throw a variety of punches. He did some nice little things followed by his big punch.

Mythical...Prime for prime, I would pick Foreman. Though it would not be easy as a prime Byrd can move very well.

Mythical...Byrd in the later stages of his career vs the comeback Foreman, I would pick Byrd. Foreman wasn't as mobile when he came back and Byrd still could move.

To be fair the tense the poster used in his title caused the confusion.

use common sense

and you dont have to 'follow' george to know if he's still fighting. look at www.boxrec.com if your really really out of your depth. didnt he retire (his 2nd retirement) 10 YEARS AGO

my thoughts is that chris is to slippery and way to hard to hit let alone the speed he poses for such a man...a super middlewieght blown up to heavy is very impressive. george is an athlete and had skills but he was way to easy to hit and very easily outboxed.

let alone has anone seen george fight a southpaw? i will look for some footage but i think he has never came across a southpaw which makes it twice as interesting

but in the end it's a win for byrd for me

i think i have caused alot of confusion

especailly reaper lol.

this is a mythical pound 4 pound match up i do it all the time so i have never thought to spell it in any other way.

i like to belive that byrds jab ans inabilty ot get hit is his key the big puncher he faced were vitali ,tua and wlad(2X) he is 2/4 on the big puncher list an one fight him being way past his prime the fights he lost to were slow bombers who threw hard shots and used a lazy jab to back people up/ remember few people could adjust to chris's style he was fighting heavies with a welterwieght plan to jab throw left hands and get out as quick as possible.

also byrds stamina is monsterous where as foremans was rather weak and could frail out in the later rounds.

a good example of what the fight might look like would be moorer foreman with out the ko...i am sure of that byrd doesnt brawl and make mistakes like moorer did.

ud to byrd

i totally agree with you have you seen what he did to mcCline when he landed a 10 hit combo. man byrd is very underated.

and the moorer fight i also agree but remember moorer was a right hander playing a southpaws game it might of turned out differently!
