Look at some of George Foreman's first 40 opponents before facing Ali,, all cruiserweights and tiny heavies with losing records! And these are only the ones with losing records! Many others have pathetic undercard journeyman records. Don't take my word, look for yourselves. Only top shelf fighter he ever fought was Ali but George panicked and lost his only opportunity. 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 👁️ (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 💯

Foreman was relatively unknown when he challenged Joe Frazier for his heavyweight crown in 1973, that's why he was a 3 1/2 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 journeyman punchbag Chuck Wepner and 6 ft 0 inch has-been 59-16 George Chuvalo. So Foreman's greatest win at his best was against little 5'11" one 👁️ Frazier inside two rounds. Directly after bouncing Frazier up & down like a 🏀 basketball, he knocked out the overmatched 5'10" 196 lb lousy 54-27 (career) Jose Roman in two minutes of the 1st round. Then 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.
@Boots_on_the_ground2 жыл бұрын
Foreman was always a slugger, never a patient slick boxer. That's why after the 3rd round, 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 y'all 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 has-been one 👁️ . Although Foreman went on to decimate 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. Several more easy fights later, George was humiliated again, this time by featherfisted 19% KO's Jimmy Young. Being devastated and depressed Foreman retired from boxing.
@Boots_on_the_ground2 жыл бұрын
Comeback Foreman was flattered by two things: #1. Frazier made Foreman 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's political deep state mafioso elites did the same for Foreman as they did for Ali. Just follow money trails for answers.
@Boots_on_the_ground2 жыл бұрын
20 years after losing it to Muhammad Ali in 1974, George made 3 successful defenses against Alex Schulz, Crawford Grimsley & Lou Saverese before losing for the final time against Shannon Briggs. Knockout wins over Frazier (twice) Norton & Moorer, all much smaller look very good on his record. Yet, he never truely dominated the heavyweight division for a long period of time, which should count against him. Foreman was 5-3 in title fights, which isn’t that impressive compared to Joe Louis (26-1) Larry Holmes (21-5) and Lennox Lewis (15-2-1), who were all far more dominant champions. Who did he beat? He won part of the title, yet he never proved he was the best in the division. There were a lot of good big Power hitters around in the early-mid 90’s, yet he defended against B-Level fighters Schulz, Grimsley and Saverese, of which Foreman was gifted 2 outta 3 of those fights. He should have fought at least one legitimate contender or attempted to unify the titles after beating Moorer. Even if Foreman lost, which I’m pretty sure he would have considering his advanced age, he would have been far greater in defeat in my eyes. Why not lose to Bowe or Lewis rather than Briggs? George was a great fighter, but looking back over his career, I believe he is definitely overrated as a heavyweight champion based on his achievements. George Foreman's numbers (76 wins, 68 by knockout and 5 losses) may not lie, but numbers minus context can lead to distortion. His opposition is on average the weakest of any heavyweight ATG. Back then heavyweight was 175+ lbs until 1979 when it was increased to 200+ lbs. Majority of his KO's came against cruiserweights.

Young Lad got away with a few belts in the ribs before wisely hitting the deck. I really felt sorry for the kid, but I am sure he is still dining out on the story today. Big George decided he wanted his World Championship back and anyone who got in the way got hit big time. I believe that George, a kind and gentle man, learned to intimidate other boxers from an old sparring partner. the genuinely fearsome Charles Liston.

He was raw the first time around, almost purely dependent on power because he had so much of it. Had he been taught by someone who he respected and was more experienced than his first trainers, maybe he would have never lost because he would have been taught to box and not only punch.The second version of George was wiser because he was older and by then the division had changed. Foreman matured the ten years he spent out of the ring and it showed in his overall performance and demeanor. Even though it wasn't an undisputed version of the title he won the second time, at 45 yrs old, it was a remarkable achievement anyway.
@leonardcharles594 жыл бұрын
The loss to Ali seemed to have really affected Foreman, but not only because of the "rope a dope"strategy ali used against him. Foremen could not be beaten by psychology alone because he was a highly trained, extremely powerful fighter who was used to intimidating opponents with his demeanor and overwhelming them with his brute strength. Ali wasnt intimidated by foreman and actually stood up to him, HIT him and BEAT him up! Ali landed every punch he knew how to throw and shook foreman up on a few occasions . He had never been hit like Ali hit him, and it all contributed to ali winning the fight. Even the strategy against the ropes had to be executed well and couldn't be duplicated by any other heavyweight at the time because of all the risk it involved. So the victory wasnt a fluke win at all and neither was the strategy, but it probably was something Ali devised instinctually and all on his own and was just one more reason why he is revered for being the fighter he was.
@viperfanaccount6884 жыл бұрын
Clancularius he was actually too disciplined after rumble in the jungle which I think is why he lost to young and Lyle almost beat him (until he reverted to his old self after the first knockdown). He was too worried about his stamina that he stopped piling on combinations of hard pressuring swings that he used to do. What young foreman needed was the determination to cardio that rocky Marciano had. He also threw non stop power punches once he got going but was so fit he rarely got too tired.

"Big" George Foreman (76-5-0, KO's 68). 1968 Olympic gold medalist and 2-time Heavyweight champion of the world (1973-74 & 1994-97). Foreman was a big freak of nature with his near inhuman strenght and punch-power. Foreman was a lot better & more inteligent boxer then many gives him credit for. Also how calm and relaxed he could be while still pummel and KO his opponents.

Any heavyweight have those three impressive moves on their resume Frazier, norton and Ron Lyle who may have been hardest puncher in boxing history. Lyle never got his just due but no one was Nxious to step in ring with Lyle in what I would say is best heavy weight bout in heavy weight history. Each punch thrown by combatants had chance to put you face down. That fight had more knockdowns both ways until end came for Lyle. Just a wonderful bout of you have opportunity to view highly encourage viewing it.

Agree 100% and George said Lyle was one of the few who could really punch hard. That's saying something.

George was a sparring partner of sonny liston who also was a very good champion and he learned a lot from sonny how to intimidate opponents,he was a nasty piece of work era as a heavyweight probably one of the most brutal ruthless heavyweights just like liston. In the second era he was a different man but he could still punch with freakish power evader Holyfield said just his jab numbed your face it was that hard but he is a real nice man today much respect to him.

Such a graceful and well spoken champ. I rarely hear people bring him up in boxing conversations, his record is immaculate and he knocked out plenty of incredibly talented fighters. He wasn't the prime fighter but he knew how to use the tools he had to full potential and strength was surely one of them.
