George Foreman pep talk to Diosbelys Hurtado after Pernell Whitaker fight

I always wondered if that beating ruined Hurtado, it was sick. Tyszu and Harris sparked him pretty quick after that, his durability seemed to be near none existant, maybe he would have always been chinny like that though

 

People always say George's "nice guy" persona is all a front and he's still a surly,mean ***** but all the evidence I've seen shows George to be a decent,warm friendly guy.

He's all class in this clip,visiting the vanquished when normally the sycophants always try to be seen with the victor,and his words of encouragment seem very sincere.

Too bad Hurtado didn't reach the heights but he did have Tszyu down twice when they fought (giving him and Australia an almighty scare) and KO'd power punching prospect Randall Bailey.

He did alright Diosbelys.

 

yeah Hurtado was a pretty good fighter

 

anyone seem him on eurosport recently....still has it. strange style.


06:23 is funny. "pernell can we get you together in a picture" ?
"nope i'm going"
