    Sorry Pug. Gotta ask who that is in your avatar with Ali/Clay? Is it Liston in 64?

    Could we have a clarification on the in ring humidity and temperature? Will George fly on an airplane in the 48 hours preceding the flight? Will he be chained up on fight week by his trainer who laughs maniacally while feeding him salt tablets and denying him even a single sip of water?

    George Foreman vs Someone Other Than George Foreman

    Foreman beats anyone other than himself, except for
    1) Ali in Zaire (but only if George's water's doped and the ring ropes are loose)
    2) Batman (if he has time to prepare)
    3) Pam Grier (if Foreman's corner doesn't check her hair for razor blades and compact pistols, which she then employs while George/referee /judges are distracted by her, um, 'legal targets').

    Non-shot Cleveland Williams challenges for the title after this and gets his due as the greatest Texan human being ever.

    I like how Jimmy Young lost to a ten fight novice after the Foreman fight back to back- it makes it so much better.

    Not necessarily. Fury managed to land a flush uppercut to his own face. With enough determination and practice, you can literally whoop your own ass.

    Vic - you need to stop making sense.

    The elegance of your approach and conclusion has won me over.

    Backing Not George Foreman is, for the most part, a bad bet.

    Haha. Occasionally Pug, only very occasionally, I do try and apply just a little bit of logic in my utterings.

    We need a thread on George Foreman vs. George Foreman.

    Not young George vs. old George, though.

    Big George (young or old) vs. Monk (his son George, not to be confused with his other sons George or his daughter Freeda George).

    I gotta take George in that one. I’m just not sure which George.

    And what if young George was blinded by linoleum?
