    He has no amateur background. What did you expect?

    Was Chavez Senior a joke? I don't think 3 has an amateur career.

    Im fairly sure Foreman didn't have an amateur career and just started training 2-3 years ago for boxing.

    I wouldn't say it's his biggest win, but he's fiighting the worst fighters in the worst circuit. It's horrific and he's learning nothing from it. He'll be nothing but a sideshow.

    He's been training boxing for 2 years this month.

    I'd say he's doing fine.

    I don't. He needs to be fighting on a better circuit, against fighters who actually have a place inside a boxing ring. Against fighters who actually know how to throw a punch and defend themselves. I'm not expecting him to fight fighters with winning records on such a circuit, but fighters in say, New York, Philly etc....are of a standard where young Foreman will actually learn a damn thing.

    And Foreman is perfect himself? He has a way to go, let him take his time. He's 27, let him have another half year - year to finer tune his skills.

    Then you expect more of him than most. He's being protected while he's honing his craft. No different than any other son of a former boxing great. His time will come soon enough and if he follows the usual pattern of sons with little to no amateur background he'll probably fail miserably once he steps up in class, but that won't be for a while.

    His dad is a multimillionaire. He could probably get some cushiony job in an office doing **** all and making a ton of money through his dad's connections.

    Its cool that he is just giving it a go and getting in the ring. They never really hyped him or anything so I dont have a problem with it.

    These fights are nothing but a waste of time. He won't even be able to gauge any improvements that he has made against these horizontalists. All he'll do is develop bad habits that will be harder to iron out when he gets used to blasting out these bums.
