George Foreman vs Alex Stewart

[@Oldguysportschallenge]

Became friends with Alex for a brief time way back in the late 80's. He worked part time at The Sports Authority as a loss prevention guy believe it or not when I worked there also. Found out he lived down the street from my parents house. Didn't talk about boxing much, he loved coming over and playing dominos. He was a extremely nice man, like a big kid but who loved his wife and daughter. Sorry to hear he died.

Excellent fight. Alex Stewart doesn’t get enough respect honestly. Been binging late 80s/early 90s heavyweight fights for a few months now and I’ve noticed that hbo really really enjoyed disrespecting these heavyweights at every turn. When they talked about Tyson they said his opponents sucked and he hadn’t proved himself. When they talked about Holyfield they said none of his performances were good and haven’t proved himself. When foreman fought they said he looked old and that his comeback was coming to an end every time he faced adversity. In reality these guys faced really game opposition while dealing with all the pressures that come with the spotlight

[@kforcer]

Yeah, HBO's commentary was horrible. They would almost look for reasons to disparage and dismiss fighters, even when there was so much good to talk about, for example, in Stewart's case, his tremendous power and incredible KO ratio. They barely bring that up at all and just focus on his losses.

Alex Stewart jab brutalized Foreman. Alex Stewart won. They gave George a gifted decision just like they used to do for Ali. What a shame.

[@Bronco_Billy_Jack_Hills]

Look at some of George Foreman's first 40 opponents before facing Ali,, all cruiserweights and tiny heavies with losing records: Fred Askew -- 2 wins 6 losses Johnny Carroll -- 12 wins 19 losses Roy Wallace -- 7 wins 12 losses Leo Peterson -- 3 wins 4 losses Bob Hazelton -- 3 wins 6 losses Levi Forte -- 20 wins 21 losses Charley Polite -- 11 wins 14 losses George Johnson -- 17 win 19 losses Lou Bailey -- 16 wins 30 losses Mel Turnbow -- 8 wins 10 losses Stamford Harris -- 14 wins 21 losses Vic Scott -- 1 win 2 losses Joe Murphy Gordwin -- 1 win 14 losses Ollie Wilson -- 21 wins 39 losses Clarence Boone -- 3 wins 25 losses Terry Sorrell -- 4 wins 15 losses Shocking isn't it. The rest were not much better similar to washed up handicapped cruiserweight Joe Frazier who was puffed up with diabetes, high blood pressure and only had one 👁️ eye (no disrespect but true). "My left eye went when I was young. I was working the speed bag and some steel went in the eye and scratched it to pieces. I was blind in that eye. Some doctors were my best friends. We sheltered the story and kept it a quiet. And I learnt the eye-chart by heart." -- Joe Frazier Medically Joe Frazier would not be allowed to fight professionally today, Fact 💯

[@Bronco_Billy_Jack_Hills]

Foreman was relatively unknown when he challenged Joe Frazier for his heavyweight crown in 1973, that's why he was a 3 to 1 underdog going in. Frazier had slipped since beating Ali in 1971. That fight had taken a lot out of him and Joe was 10 pounds heavier when he got into the ring with George. The only names on Foreman's record that stood out were 19-5 B-Level punchbag Chuck Wepner and 59-16 214 lb 6'0" George Chuvalo. Foreman's greatest win at his best was against little one 👁️ Joe inside two rounds. After knocking out the overmatched 54-27 5'10 196 lbs Jose Roman in the 1st, Foreman scored his second best career win against Ken Norton, who just broke Ali's jaw. 210 lb Norton's philly shell defense was atrocious against Foreman. George destroyed Kenny, again in under 2 rounds. This was the high point of his career. When George agreed to fight Ali, many feared he would seriously hurt the aging 32 year old former champion. ( 32 is still young, Wladimir fought Joshua in fight of the year at 41. Archie Moore fought Ali at 48 and Lewis beat Tyson and prime Vitali at 37. What was Ali doing at 37? He couldn't talk and his tremors were getting worse ..it's not how you start IT'S HOW YOU FINISH )

[@Bronco_Billy_Jack_Hills]

Foreman was always a slugger, never a patient slick boxer. That's why after the 3rd round, commentator Joe Frazier said, "George is rushing himself and not staying calm, he's not going to last." Frazier saw exactly what we all saw. Foreman Panicked in the sweltering heat and humidity which exceeded 90 percent and punched himself out, flailing away like a wild kitty cat. Ali sensed what was happening and patiently waited till George fell over ..And OMG did you see how ILLEGALLY LOOSE those ropes were!!! They were loose enough to allow Ali to avoid getting hit in the head leaving Foreman no choice but to go after the body. What should have been Ali's most difficult fight was actually one of his easiest. Fans worldwide demanded an immediate rematch but Ali knew better. If Ali was really the greatest why didn't he prove it instead of running 🏃💨 back to washed up one 👁️ Although Foreman went on to humiliate overrated one 👁️ for a second time after his loss to Ali, it was clear he was not the same fighter. He was knocked down twice and looked very vulnerable against Ron Lyle in their slugfest. Then several easy fights later, George was humiliated again, this time by featherfisted 19% KO's Jimmy Young. Being devastated and depressed Foreman retired from boxing.

[@Bronco_Billy_Jack_Hills]

Comeback Foreman was flattered by two things: #1. Frazier made george look better than he was. #2. Ali made norton look better than he was. Here's some more bum of the month club fighters with losing records they hand-picked for George: Frank Lux 19 wins 30 losses Mark Young 11 wins 13 losses Manoel de Almeida 3 wins 8 losses Mike Jameson 14 wins 15 losses Little 5'7" Qawi hit Foreman at will till he ran outta gas. Gerry Cooney fought George with his right arm tied behind his back as he didn't throw a single right hand punch. Holyfield and Morrison hit George whenever they wanted to and Alex Stewart gave Foreman the worst beating of his career closing both his eyes. Foreman proved he had the talent to compete in his second career...but that's it...in truth...old Foreman was a celebrity fighter by then. Nobody minded that he leap frogged real contenders to cherry-pick opponents with belts that suited him stylistically and were 35 to 50 pounds smaller. First Foreman with his 50 pound weight advantage tries Holyfield for a belt. Three fights later he tries Morrison who couldn't breathe with HIV for a belt. Then very next fight they hand George his belt on a silver platter for fightin career LHW Moorer. Big George wanted Absolutelyyy Nothing to do with POWER hitters Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe, Ike Ibeabuchi, David Tua, Oliver McCall, Andrew Golata and Mike Tyson because he was to slow and his philly shell defense was terrible. Boxing mafia/politics did the same for Ali as they did for Foreman. Just follow all the💲trails for answers.

94-93, Alex Stewart Foreman: 1, 2, 3, 8 Stewart: 4, *5, (6-7; 9-+10) +: 2 point round Talk about a war! Foreman won round 1 clearly. Round 2, I didn't give Big George credit for the first knock down as I agree with Merchant that it was mainly due to that UGLY low blow by George. The second knockdown was legit and Foreman won spots of the round. But Stewart did such great work that I could only make it a 9-8 round for George. Round 3, Foreman actually did better in this round than he did in the one with two knockdowns. Stewart did great work, but Big George outmuscled Alex. I gave round 4 to Alex but Big George got in a lot of good shots. Alex outworked Foreman, though. Round 5 is typical of a lot of the action in this fight: Stewart banged up Foreman pretty bad, but Big George clearly stunned Alex bad. Do you give the round to the guy who caused the visible facial damage (Stewart) or to the guy whose punches almost had the other guy out? I gave it to Stewart but it could go either way. Rounds 6-7, I didn't rescore this but memory tells me that I agree with Letterman that Alex won these. Round 8, huge round for Big George. He could've knocked out Stewart if the ref didn't stop the action after Stewart spit out his mouthpiece. But Big George got away with several ugly low blows, so I'm OK with it. Rounds 9-10, memory says I agree with Letterman. Round 10, I think, the ref gave George a deduction for the low blows. (Finally.) This fight could've gone either way, depending on you scored round 5. I'm not sure how the official judges scored it round by round, but I see nothing wrong with the 94-93 score for either man. (Two judges had it 94-93 for Foreman.) Not sure how one judge scored it 94-94 as that seems mathematically impossible when using the 10-point-must system.

[@georgevincent1834]

George had him ready to go in the second but for some reason eased up and let Stewart back into the fight. It almost looked like Foreman wanted to get some rounds in. Whatever the reason it nearly cost him.

[@alfredooliva5175]

Love George, but during his comeback he really cleaned out the cruiserweight division smh...

[@tlig]

Lol, he fought some really terrible opposition.

[@TheBatugan77]

Yep. He poleaxed Gerry Cooney. Cruiserweight. Or maybe bruiserweight.

[@robzara4172]

At the time, he should have been a mandatory defense for Carlos DeLeon for as many cruiserweights as he destroyed.

[@juniorjohnson5961]

Did George fight after this ?

[@brockgeorge777]

Yes. He went on to defeat Michael Moorer by knock out in the later rounds after being outboxed again before. In doing so he reclaimed the Heavyweight Championship for the second time in his career as an old man. The commentator *never* supported George’s comeback, and to hear them tell it, every time he struggled it was over.

[@dustylover100]

​@@brockgeorge777, Lampley was so shocked when Foreman knocked Moorer out. Yes, Lampley, it happened.

[@30over3]

And people say Tyson wouldn't last against a 40+ year old Foreman! As this fight reveals, Tyson would've teed off on a statuesque target. Foreman doesn't last 5 rounds against a close to prime Tyson firing on all cylinders!!

خارج نطاق الملاكمة انا احب جورج فومان الكبير واتمنى ان التقي به يوما ما

[@Bellthorian]

It makes me laugh when people think George could have beat Mike Tyson. Tyson beat Alex Stewart in less than 2 minutes.

[@bonsuosei2697]

People say that because they believe Tyson"s style would have suited Foreman. Note that Foreman had difficulties with clever opponents who boxed him other than those who lunged at him and tried to knock him out. It made it easy for him to use his huge body and superior strength and power to overcome them. That was why he knocked out Joe Frazier and Ken Norton easily but struggled and lost against Ali Jimmy Young and Holyfield. He struggled against Stewart because the former cleverly boxed him. A fight against Tyson would have been something different.

[@Bellthorian]

@@bonsuosei2697 It all depends on what version of Mike Tyson we are talking about. Pre Don King Tyson didn't lunge, he worked off the jab and threw combinations, complicated combinations that you never see heavyweights throw. His technique and blazing hand speed would have overwhelmed him. Look at Georges fight against Dwight Muhammad Quawi. Qyawi was able to land a LOT of power shots and he had a similar size, he was smaller and style as Tyson but not as gifted.

[@TheBatugan77]

@TheoDeath Hey, Giggles... George would have knocked Tydon into the second row. It would've been a home run, as well as a knockout.

No version of the comebacking Foreman would beat Tyson.

[@StratKat1998]

Brilliant commentator at around 48:40 stating George is taking the punishment for the 5m... Well, actually he was taking it because he loves the sport. He had enough money from his first career for 4 generations to live in luxury.

He was broke when he came back to the sport in 87.

[@StratKat1998]

@@tlig Wow, thanks. How??

[@tlig]

@@StratKat1998 I think he signed messed up deals back in the 70s so didn't retire with a whole bunch of dough, to begin with. He also claimed to have been cheated by either his lawyers or management during his retirement period. He certainly was in need of money when he came back.

[@StratKat1998]

@@tlig thanks

[@AnthonyJ74]

No he didn't. George was broke by the time that he launched his comeback -- that's the reason he even came back in the first place: he was broke! Foreman said it himself. He was "broke as a goat" -- in George's own words.

[@joanmjames2495]

@@seniordavidmanderson9232 I disagree. When Foreman fought Jimmy Young, Gil Clancy had changed Foreman's style, making Foreman more of a boxer, rather than what Foreman did BEST- slugging and throwing a lot of BIG, HARD punches. That was Foreman's game, until he met Gil Clancy. When Foreman fought Jimmy Young, he tried to beat Young at his (Young's) own game and lost. The version of Foreman that CRUSHED Frazier and Norton (both HIGH-Quality AND all-time greats) would have destroyed Young in one round, not to take a thing away from Young. But the Young fight had more important ramifications for Foreman than any other boxing match in his first career.

Stewart at some point should've retaliated with a Destroyer right hand to George's nutsack. Ridiculous with those low blows. In 45 years of being a boxing fanatic, I've never seen anyone with punches more thudding than Big George's. Like sledgehammers. How the hell Holyfield, at 208lbs, took those shots in unbelievable. One of the greatest lb for lb chins of all times. I remember when Cooper hurt him, Dundee was saying that "Nobody is ever the same after being hit by George" and that he was damaged goods, but that wasn't the case.
