    If his father hires a coach that can teach boxing, and the young man works like he was in collage, 6 hours of class and 4 hours of home work, a day. He should be able to learn to box.

    If he starts doing it part time, three hours a day...he won't make it. He lacks the basics, the simple one, two.

    We will end up with a Marvis Frazier, and his Million dollar fight. Marvis should never have been a heavy at all, a cruiser...but there was no money there.

    Very sloppy, and obviously, he was in there with a tomato can, as can be expected.

    However, he seems to have good athleticism and at least decent punching power.

    If they can hone his skills, he could perhaps become a minor player on name recognition alone.

    Regardless, even if he winds up sucking, it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

    I think that's the whole idea. Big George knows how to make money.

    Exaggerating his height, making him wear the old Foreman's trunks, they know how to market him. I wouldn't be surprised if that guy was paid to lay down. I've heard rumors of this happening during the start of Foreman's comeback as well. The fat dude didn't throw a punch nor made any effort to win.
