What does it matter? He came up against the greatest heavy of all time. You’re obsessed with number of title defences
Ugh I’ve already explained it. Reread for the edit btw and have a nice day I’m sorry the 70s are as flawed as every other era.
Uncle Jimmy was at least a good boxer. And it’s Foreman’s only real blemish. Foreman is a beast he will eat Usyk and Wlad alive they will not live with this grilling machine
"I've explained" = "Frazier at 29, undefeated world champion 2 years off an all time great win was shot to bits when Foreman got him" no dude, you haven't explain anything. This is much worse than rose tinted glasses, you are being wrong on purpose to exaggerate. Nobody would say this crap about a modern day fighter with such circumstances
Jimmy Young was a good fighter, basically every contender is? If Ali was champion that’s basically all Foreman would’ve ever been if not for one of ghe biggest “gimme” wins possible including his sole win over a real contender it used to be “Frazier was made to order” for GF and so was Norton now people realise what that means and that can’t be true because it’d mean…
Lewis is given a pass as well as Wlad for being ktfo by lesser boxers than Young. This hate for Foreman is wrong, all wrong. Foreman top 5 heavy he’s locked in there, uncle Jimmy is not near enough to displace him.
29 year old alcoholic and part time fighter / lead singer defending his belt with among the worst two defences I’ve seen… a guy who was hit so much Futch had to limit his sparring a guy whose own people thought he wouldn’t last long, he aged before his time much like Tyson and other guys who go for it. Happened to Gomez too.
So where do you rank old George? Uncle Jimmy is one thing. ‘Alcoholic’ (prime) Frazier getting destroyed vs several nobodies koing Wlad, or mentally ill schizophrenic McCall destroying Lewis…Foreman is above those two all day… Who do you have above George
Modern fighters have done much worse to their body and came back to win a title. The results showed themselves, results are what matter and he was always an "alcoholic" and still won the championship. Frazier was also a full time boxer by the 70s. He quit his job at the slaughterhouse and construction years before his fight with Ali so the point is moot. Lewis got destroyed by a drug addict with mental problems, how bad is this compared to smoking an undefeated Frazier in 2 ? Is losing to Young worse than losing to McCall? I don't think so. Young would school McCall. Klitschko literally got outboxed by a drug addict who ballooned up and down in weight and was trying to kill himself "he aged before his time" Let me know which fight is smoking gun evidence that he was done at the top level by the time Foreman got him.
The Foreman fight is the smoking gun as are his title defences against Stander and Daniel’s your honour… please note Mr Fraziers fights post GF bouts for further evidence of his rapid decline and his managements direction - I rest my case.
Well you can’t argue he didn’t destroy some quality opposition in his first and second iteration…I’m interested who you would put above him?
