    "The referee is going to be the most important person in the ring tonight besides the two fighters."

    Yeah george is great I think he's endeared himself enough with boxing fans to be let off anything he says that comes across as a bit silly.

    'These guys are big for middleweights'
    They're light heavyweights george'

    :lol:

    Round 6 of the Hopkins-Trinidad fight

    Lampley: There are no signs that Hopkins is wearing down.

    Foreman: Oh yes, there are a LOT of signs! Too many signs!

    Lampley: What are the signs?

    Foreman: Hopkins went to his corner and laid his legs flat out. Trinidad is still sitting in a sitting position.

    Hopkins goes on to land the cleaner shots in an exciting 6th round, and then continues to use his legs and befuddle and outbox Trinidad in the 7th.

    Foreman: Wow, he's feinting! It's not like a Philadelphia fighter at all to feint.

    Then in the 8th, with Hopkins off to a great start.

    Merchant: Bernard Hopkins is a geriatric wonder.

    Foreman: I'd like to see what happens in the 10th round and on to the geriatrics.

    I guess 2 rounds will make your legs go dead. Hopkins proceeds to hurt Tito badly at the end of the 10th, dominate the 11th, and stop him in the 12th.


    Afterwards:

    Foreman: I'd like to find my words so I can eat them.

    I hated the way he called the fight this idiot was acting like hopkins was getting tired He acted like Tito was just wearing hopkins down

    another stupid thing he said alot of fighters say the best way to beat Tito is to box and move that is wrong

    How is it wrong and Oscar boxed Titos ears off it blew my mind

    Ali is more intelligent than all of us as he could see that this Foreman guy was nothing more than a fake, a Mummy who couldn't box on his toes, couldn't get first at him and couldn't place his punches and would punch himself out in Zaire. Nobody gives a damn about George and his grills and his burgers. A man who takes a boxing lesson from Jimmy Young and sees God in the locker room to become a preacher and box on much later with that weight. It takes a believer and Bob Arum to knock an idiot like Michael Moorer assisted by another idiot Teddy Atlas. Now, let him shut his mouth cause he doesn't know anything about boxing, God only knows how come HBO had him commentating fights all those years. Well, Lennox also doesn't know **** and he was also a commentator.

    Funny but not necessarily contradictory.

    Styles make fights. Foreman is all wrong for Lewis. That doesn't mean Foreman is better than him all time.
