Did George Foreman duck anyone ?

well we got no proof of how it was and its practice why does it matter

 

well he didnt fight these names why cant we say he didnt dodge

 

George is extremely generous. He would have been young during the Liston meanderings so it's probable.

 

Jerry Quarry and I would say Larry Holmes during his second career. George was a smart manager.

 

Foreman basically was saying they avoided Quarry because of that counterpunching style.

 

Axel Shultz

 

Wholeheartedly agreed.

 

I'm not saying he didn't, but I personally don't believe it. A lot of fights do t happen due to money, injury, sickness, and a slew of other conflicts. It could have been much more than ducking.

 

glad your not brainwashed people like to just say anything that they can find online must be true

 

Agree 100% on that one. He didn't look or act like a man with the slightest ounce of fear there. He looked like a man showing up to destroy a rival and enjoy doing so. Then the moment the bell rang, he proceeded to do exactly that. You don't come out like that against someone you're afraid of.

 

Thank you man.

 

I don’t know if there’s any grounds for saying he ducked Holmes in the 70s. He retired in 1977 after losing to Jimmy young at which point Holmes was a rising contender…. Later on in the 90s. Holmes challenged him and Foreman never responded. But given their age I don’t think it really mattered.

 

as has been pointed out here, that isn't true. they actually had an old man battle scheduled, but they had a garbage promoter who couldn't come up with the money. this is one case where I wish Don King had been involved. say whatever you want about King, the man always came up with the money to make his fights happen.

 

Regardless. I don’t think there’s much grounds for saying foreman ducked Holmes

 

George Foreman would've brutalized Jerry Quarry. Just brutalized him.
