I don't know a lot about the 90's heavyweight scene, but who Foreman beat to improve his resume? I know Qawi was 30 lbs heavier than in his...
I honestly thought it was a little bit more exciting than Lewis vs Vitali, and I admit I almost fell asleep during that fight.

I was going to pretend what you just said isn't completely ******ed, but... why pretending, right?
What was so impressive about that fight? The fact that two guys were coming at each other with nothing but power?
It was impressive, no doubt about it, but I thought it would be fair to compare how they did for the rest of their careers, considering George was...

I kind of figured something was wrong, but then you mentioned "Whitacker" (not "Whitaker") again on the 2nd half of your post so I wasn't sure...
According to boxrec, Julio is 5'7" and Pernell is 5'6", so how exactly is he "way too small" to fight Whitaker's opponents?
Well Sweet Pea moved from 135 directly to 147, to "fight better competition", I guess you could say that was his way of avoiding Julio.
