George Foreman's most epic and destructive dismantling of an opponent ?

Frazier and Norton

 

All good. I was just having a joke, no intent to offend. However, you sort of got me on the glue sniffing part - though I did give it up about 20 years ago.

 

I think Jose’s eyes were at their widest when he realised that even with his butt on the canvas, there was no protection from Foreman’s bombs.

Ali was a very keen observer of future opponents. Even though Ali was always going to goad George, he must’ve noticed how much Roman’s antics riled Foreman up before first bell.

Vs Roman, Foreman was clearly angry and a bit wild with his shots - and we know Ali used that to his advantage in Zaire.

 

Jan 22 1973 Kingston, Jamaica. Champion Joe Frazier was separated from his title with a rather nasty TKO 2 by challenger George Foreman, Frazier suffered 6 knockdowns before the humane stoppage by referee Arthur Mercante Sr.

 

He beat Frazier like a stepchild.

 

It's Fraizer and it's silly to suggest otherwise. We won't ever see a champion of Fraizer's caliber beat down the way he was that night, that was terrifying.

 

He sure did. I won me a crisp $10.00 bill from a classmate in home room.

 

I agree it has to be Frazier. That fight made George the legend that he is, that and the Moore ko at age 45. But even if Foreman did not comeback, he would still be consider a great.

 

Too bad neither were going to fight each other, friendship was more important than the mighty dollar.

 

George was a monster and had some brutal beatdowns .. O'Halloran, Frazier 1, Norton, LeDoux, Frazier 2, Cooney ... he really beat some guys up ...

 

Can't add anymore but say that power is the last thing to go. Holyfield famously applauds it when mentioning their fight despite beating George. I wish Leroy Caldwell fighting Foreman was available would love to c it.
