    Schultz tuned him up, let's be honest.

    Well, I will say that Emmanuel Steward in an interview said that when Bob Arum asked him after the fight watching it live who he thought won, Steward said Schulz, but then, when Steward added up his own round-by-round scorecards, surprisingly he had it for Foreman. His point being that the feel of who won sometimes can differ from the math of it.

    Yes, that was a clear robbery.
    Schulz landed more and better, Foreman didn't seem to have the same power behind his punches.

    Schulz was a guy that never got the breaks. Whole different career if things go his way. Just think of the additional money he would have earned.

    Schulz won. I remember being appalled when I watched it live. Foreman had lot of shenanigans going in his favor at this time. I rewatched the fight maybe twice since 1995 and both times still Had Schulz up.

    Money talks. That's all there really is to it.

    Schulz failed to win the 5 biggest fights of his life which were all close decisions. Judges did not like him.
