Like perhaps around 1992 when both were competing at a high level? That was a fight that I had always hoped would materialize, was rumored to be in the works, but of course never happened. Foreman made no secret that he was very selective about who he fought, depending on what he had to gain vs the risk factor. I seem to recall that he was not shy about saying that he didn't like going against tall fighters who could jab well and move. Not many could jab better than Holmes, but this 92 Holmes was not moving much and spending a lot of time on the ropes and in the corners, like when he outsmarted Mercer. I would think this would have been a fairly even odds fight.
