Growing up I really only saw George Foreman as the big friendly guy who sold grills. Once I started getting into boxing and watching old fights I found out he was a terrifying bulldozer in the ring

[@teddyjackson1902]

George was built like a tree. Just massive, not stick built like Wilder or other “modern” fighters. I have. A theory that this was the golden era of boxing because the NFL and NBA could not compete with the money in boxing. In this era the best athletes in the world were boxers.

[@beestoe993]

I love the man George Foreman has become, but in those days he was NOT a nice guy. He was mean as a badger. I remember, he was hated by a lot of people then.

@@teddyjackson1902Big George was simply a « natural » heavyweight. Golden genetics with excellent boxing skills. He was a nightmare.

[@alanprak80]

Frazier was just built the wrong way to fight a guy like Foreman. Frazier was all about the left hook, and that punch took him all the way to the heavyweight title. But he needed to get close to land it, and Foreman simply pushed him away whenever Frazier got in firing range. Unable to mount a serious offense, Frazier became a sitting duck for Big George who used him like a punching bag.

[@G.M.1944]

George’s amazing ability to keep shoving guys in front of him around and backwards, using brute strength as well as an excellent sense of space and timing was an important key to his success, it was almost impossible to escape this man. I still find it a very underrated feat, Tommy Morrison’s game plan in 1993 against Foreman, proving Tommy was a skilled boxer. Only saw Muhammad Ali, Evander Holyfield and Jimmy Young outboxing Foreman in Foreman’s almost 30 y spanning ring career, besides Tommy. But they absorbed a lot of punishment in the process.

[@legend3706]

You should read Foreman's autobiography on the Ali fight. Lot of dirty things happened behind the scenes. Sadler gave Goerge a spiked drink of water. He tired after just three rounds and kept wondering why he was so tired. I know a lot of people don't believe it but George also writes that when he wanted a second fight with Ali, Herbert Mohammed put a condition that it would happen only if Sadler was again signed up with George.

[@G.M.1944]

@@legend3706 I don’t buy the spiked water story, to me it was clear that Muhammad Ali got into George Foreman’s head, and the visible caused anger burned Foreman out, he threw caution and pacing to the wind 100% and went for a KO in 1 or 2 rounds. When that didn’t work out, he just got more and more angry and frustrated, burning out. So George consistently showed a patient strategy during his second career 1987-1997 and he won the greatest prize. I am not aware of the condition by Herbert for a second fight against Ali though, that’s interesting, and it could be possible, but I think in that case the only factor that would have been determining would have been Ali’s physical condition. By 1976, 1977, that would have meant taking even more punishment against George, not being able to defend and attack snake-like in years prior, with reduced speed and timing, George IMO would have had a serious chance at winning that rematch..

George Foreman put so much power into everyone of his punches and was excellent at keeping Joe Frazier off him and then countering with haymakers.. This probably was the most brutal fights I've ever seen, very disheartening to see someone get beat this bad.

Foreman's tactics are soooo smart here and we don't hear enough about them. He pushes away the smaller man, the brawler, and picks him off time and time again as Joe comes in. It's very rare to see a fighter push another away so much as a tactical move and I'm surprised more bigger fighters didn't try it against the elite brawlers like Frazier, Hagler and Tyson.

[@drdellaman]

I was a big Ali fan, but after I saw what he did to Norton and Frazier, I was afraid he would get knocked out by Foreman. The man was terrifying, the most dangerous puncher ever. He would have treated Tyson the same as Frazier. Agressive fighters, with less height and reach than Foreman, he would just push around and measure them up for massive shots. Ali planned on dancing when he fought Foreman, but Foreman had practiced cutting off the ring, and Ali soon realized he would run out of steam running around. So he went to the rope a dope and let Foreman punch himself out for eight rounds. How he managed to avoid taking a massive shot was incredible. Then he came off the ropes with a quick combination of shots and knocked Foreman out. It was amazing.

Not exactly, Tyson could move much faster, while Frazier was basically a punching bag. Also, Tyson had better technique as trained by Cus. Styles make fights and Frazier's style was perfectly suited to Foreman

That was a massacre of epic proportions!

FOREMAN'S STARE DOWN WAS SCARY. LOOK AT HIS EYES. POWER. 🙂✌

I find it impressive Joe is getting up every time.

[@cyphaborg6598]

It's one thing to get knocked down, but getting up after those beatings. The man didn't accept defeat.

We lost Years and Years of Foreman 😢 He definitely the Greatest boxer of All Time

[@Lilskate1]

The leap of faith was crazy 😂 😂😂😂

[@ymd2516]

It may appear one sided but I love this fight because it shows how destructive Foreman is when he was the underdog and Frazier kept getting back up like The Terminator

Anyone else notices someone in the crowd yelling at the referee saying “STOP HIM!” Around 4:40
