    Foreman bigging up Joe Frazier

    “It’s strange but, I wasn’t afraid of Muhammad Ali, I lost the title to Muhammad but I remember Joe Frazier, he was the toughest guy I had ever seen, Smokin’ Joe Frazier. My mother watched him on television and he hit a guy so hard the guy turned his back.. And I kept thinking I want to be champ of the world but I sure hope Joe Frazier die.. When it was time to fight Joe Frazier I knew if you hit him he liked it - if you missed him he’d just get upset. I’m thinking what am I going to do..

    “I had this habit of staring guys down, I looked them in the eye to psych them out, if they dropped their head I knew I had an advantage. But I was hoping Joe Frazier wouldn’t drop his head because my knees were shaking.”"

    Ol George tells a good story I will give him that.

    So you never sparred Liston. That's the truth. You have no idea how shot or not, he was. :deal:

    He was a year from retired, slower and beltless, it doesn't take a genius to see decline.
    That makes sense, Foreman is explaining that Frazier was the toughest guy he saw before they fought because Frazier took massive punishment from Ali. He even described how he feared Frazier before he KO'd him

    I cannot believe there are people who think 90s Foreman beats Liston LOL. Dude lost to Tommy Morrison. The opinion has to be low iq origin

    This thread is a goldmine, hope it stays on the front page

    Oh so YOU can tell just from looking that a fighter is shot, but Foreman can't tell just from looking that he couldn't land a punch on Fury? :lol:

    I guess Foreman would be all complimentary to Liston too, just before he knocked him out :deal:

    Anyone smart enough can tell whether a fighter is declined. You can't but it's par for the course. Foreman never fought Fury, but he fought Liston. End of story
    If he sparred Frazier before saying that then you might be on to something.

    Why would I? Morrison is way ahead of Cleveland Williams, and Williams lit Liston up like a christmas tree before his eggshell chin let him down.

    This is straight garbage. You are trying to have it both ways.

    Speaking of toilet, I had a large and satisfying MarkusFlorez earlier on. That's my new word for a #2. I felt about 2lbs lighter, and the MarkusFlorez in the toilet bowl was like a mighty iceberg protruding from the waves. Then I flushed it, much like I have flushed your posts.

    Your credibility is in the toilet. Williams has a weak chin but Morrison doesn't, hilarious stuff.
