    After reading all of the previous post about Old Foreman, it sparked a cool thought.

    It has to be pretty neat for guys like Holyfield, Morrison, Moorer, and Briggs to say that they fought Foreman! The same Foreman who devastated Frazier, Norton and was in one of the well known fights of our time with Ali. These guys probably never thought coming through the ranks that one day they would be fighting Foreman.

    true. Seeing as some of them must have seen him as an easymeat 40something former legend stepping stone(which is the way you should see 40somethings), then getting ktfo by him must have been an even bigger suprise.

    I saw a clip of sore loser Moorer saying George didn't set him up as he claimed. He said it was a lucky shot. I'm surprised a professional boxer believes there is such a thing as a lucky shot! Maybe all those punches Moorer landed on George were lucky shots, and georg's shot wasn't a lucky shot!
