    Foreman was great comedy value. He'd talk some nonsense and then all of a sudden say something profound. His jazz/boxing quote is one of the best i've ever heard.

    there was nothing idiotic about what foreman said. norris waited until the 3rd minute of the round to get started.

    george foreman: someone who speaks from personal experience and has an extreme wealth of knowledge because of his participation in the sport.

    larry merchant: someone who has been a spectator for several decades and still doesn't understand what the **** he is seeing.

    foreman>merchant

    period.

    No it wasn't, and this really wasn't that big a deal.

    Uhh some fighters take 2-3 rounds to warm up, Foreman made that comment 30 seconds in to the first round. Of course it was idiotic. Many fighters barely throw more than a few jabs at that point.
