I do remember reading about how Foreman, at the beginning of his comeback, contacted Holmes and asked him to fight some exhibitions. Holmes...
Which is why Bob Arum dug up Axel Schultz and Foreman agreed to fight him. I still can't believe that fight was sanctioned.
Had Foreman won against Briggs and received a title shot against Lewis, how badly do you think Lewis would have beaten George? Do you think the...
George should have fought Andrew Golota instead of Schultz. That would have been a fun fight!
But how hard was it too look good against a slow, plodding puncher like Foreman? I mean, looking good against an older, slower fighter is not that...

Foreman was a champion that probably would have lost to about 95% of the fighters in the top 20 at the time.
Probably not. I'd end the fight before it got too interesting. Now, go wack off to some Kimbo Slice backyard brawl videos! :yep
