Am I the only one that thinks Young would always have Foreman's number?

I'm quite aware of Young's chin. Foreman almost had him out of there in the 7th. Bad night for George. Another night and, yes, George had the power to stop Young.

 

Don't like to make excuses for men losing fights, but after hearing the stories about how unprepared Foreman was, looking at his recent performances leading up to those fights, etc.. I don't think he was the same fighting machine that destroyed Frazier and Norton.. Apparently, someone else was calling the shots on Foreman's teem other than Gil Clancy, and this person not only failed to get him in proper condition, but also had him fighting a style that wasn't suited for George. We take into account that the fight went the distance over 12 rounds, with Young nearly being out on his feet at one point, and that leaves me with reasonable indication that the outcome may have been reversed 3 - 4 years earlier.

 

Yeah, Gil Clancy told an interesting story about this.
