    The Rodrigues KO for me was his best.

    Rodrigues could box, but ha no chin at all..... As soon as Foreman hit him, he folded up like a lawn chair......

    Foreman claimed after the Qawi fight he looked "too much like the old Foreman"; so he decided to put back on an extra 15lbs or so.

    True that! That left hook was a MONSTER. If George could set himself, plant his feet, and really turn that hook, his hook was one of the most deadly in the game. The main problem is the better fighters were more elusive and agile enough to keep George from planting himself to land a big shot like that.

    Had George done to Razor Ruddock, Michael Dokes, or even someone like Bonecrusher Smith what he did to Cooney, the win would have more merit. They dug Cooney out of the graveyard because A) he was a big name B) he was rusty as hell, and C) he was fragile. The perfect opponent to showcase George against.
