Foreman - Moorer Rematch?

Fun fact: Moorer beat Schultz after the Foreman fight and Foreman lost to him.

Like most things Foreman, he would've rematched Moorer if he thought he could win. The truth is that he knew he couldn't even beat Tucker and tossed belts instead of fighting him.

You didn't watch the fights. That's cute.

""They tried to force me to fight Tony Tucker. And I remember looking at Tony Tucker, and saying, 'Mama didn't raise no fools. I'm not fighting him.' And they took the titles. Some people I'm not gonna fight. That's the good reason. I didn't want to fight him. Too tough."

 

If there's a Foreman thread, I always have to drop in when No Neck posts. He never disappoints.

 

Foreman MD Schulz
Moorer SD Schulz

Foreman did better according to scorecards.

Oh yeah and Foreman KTFO Moorer just in case you forgot (Though I doubt you will, it was probably the worst day in your life ).

Foreman also said he avoided Quarry and that a prime Frazier would've beaten him....

You yourself have criticized and laughed off many things that came out of Foreman's mouth but sure, take his word when it suits your agenda you clown.

 

He possibly wouldn't have wanted it regardless

 

In he rolls, eyes spinning around in their sockets like slot machine wheels, to automatically pick against Foreman

Foreman vs Leon Spinks - SPINKS!!!!
Foreman vs Arguello - ARGUELLO!!!!!
Foreman vs a one legged 120 pound hobo off the street - ONE LEGGED 120 POUND HOBO!!!!!!



He might even equal chok and his Liston/Foreman/Williams insanities!!!!

 

Foreman vs Cleve. CLEVELAND!!!

We'll give him a pass on that one though.

 

Did he drop a belt in order to avoid Quarry? Did he avoid fights with Frazier? Just the facts.

 

This is an interesting question! Never really thought much about a rematch between the two.

For some reason, I've never really thought much of Moorer, even at LH. Can't quite put my finger on it, but his style didn't appeal to me at all. This is not to diminish him in any way, because accomplished much, had good skills, threw well-conceived punches, had good power, was brave and exciting most of the time, etc. Weird, but it is what it is. There were many of his fights when I found myself wondering why his opponent was having such a hard time with him, I'd be yelling instructions to them in frustration lol!

As for a rematch, Big George finds a way to do it again, regardless of how defensive-minded Moorer fights.

Edit: I know that I offered no reason as to why I pick Foreman and that's because I haven't thought of one yet

 

I'd lean toward Foreman. It's common if not empirical that rematches often favor the guy that did the KO'ing and it's fair to say Moorer didn't reach pre Foreman heights again. Both would always know George is just a punch or two away.

Interestingly a rematch was actually set for MSG 14 months later but it fell thru so it almost happened. It was going to mark 25 years since Frazier - Ali at The Garden in an effort to rekindle the joint as a boxing force.

 

I would pull for Foreman, but truth is if Moorer fought smart he would not face the same result again.
I doubt George could manipulate him into position & lull hiom to sleep a second time.

No Neck should start a thread, Foremen vs. the 120 lbs. 1 armed hobo.
It would be sublime to savor his rationales to favor the latter.

Edit: my bad, it was an untrained single LEGGED hobo.
But we should make it just one of each limb to test his consistency!

 

So we're gonna take his word here, because it seems to validate the facts.

You accused Foreman of making excuses when he said (well he didn't actually say it. It was a quote by his team, that you falsely attributed to him) he had a heat stroke in Puerto Rico because he was dehydrated and it was abnormally hot, which also validates the facts that he was hospitalized with heat exhaustion and dehydration, and the TV lights had created more heat at ringside than any other recent bout with the exception of Ali-Bugner two years earlier.

But yeah let's just take his word, when it suits our agenda.

 

Laughed out loud at this.

If I ever had to face prime Foreman, I want this guy as a judge. I'd run all night, and not throw a punch. If by some miracle, I make it to the end, Noneck will almost certainly score the bout for me.

 

With Foreman's cement feet, one leg might've been enough.

 

Never understood how the Puerto Rican heat could only target one fighter and not the other. It must've been a regional thing.

 

As has been explained to you ad nauseum, Clancy had a well-documented history of dehydrating Foreman, not letting him drink waters for days.

Also it's well-established Foreman arrived less than 24 hours before the fight.

Very fitting you'll accept Foreman's claim that he ducked Tucker but dispute "his" claim that he was dehydrated.
