Yeah, the two promoters were music industry guys I think, or at least one of them was. But Foreman and Holmes pocketed a lot of money just for...
I really enjoyed this fight. I watched it live back then on HBO.....I was really impressed with George Foreman's conditioning and workrate in this...
The best time to make the fight would have been right after Holmes lost to Holyfield. Foreman gave Holyfield a decent fight the year before, and...
Foreman didn't really have true one-punch KO power during his comeback, so I doubt he'd have it now. They would both be so slow and plodding -- it...
Yeah, Norton said he didn't lift weight at all during the 1970's, he just did calisthenic/plyometirc type exercises, and of course all the boxing...
The fight would be more competitive, as Holyfield wasn't as fast or zippy with his combinations in 1999. But I still think Holyfield wins a...
Holyfield traded with Foreman a lot of times. So did Savarese, even though SAvarese lost, it was very close. Savarese took bombs from Foreman and...
Yeah, but why would Holmes fight guys like Scott Frank, Lucien Rodriguez, Tex Cobb, etc, when guys like Page, Thomas, and Dokes were around? Or...
Herbie Hide nailed Bowe and shook him up, and Sanders is bigger than Hide and probably a little more powerful and just as fast. It would be a...
Anyone who lived through Holmes' reign should also remember how Larry openly admitted to ducking certain fighters....How that can still be a...
That's true....But Greg Page and Pinklon Thomas would have provided Holmes with stern tests.....As lackadaisical as both of those guys were about...
Excellent post! Too many people are all too willing to overlook Holmes' questionable parts of his reign. Holmes didn't fight at least one of the...
Based on what? Foreman's two victories over Frazier? Frazier was just one fighter. Tyson and Frazier were not that similar in fighting style and...
No way! The Holmes that beat Mercer was no better than the Holmes who lost to Tyson. Larry was moving around pretty good against Tyson and using...
I agree.....Tyson doesn't get enough credit for the Holmes win. EVen Holmes himself tries to downplay the loss by harping about how unprepared he...
