    Foreman showed himself to be a bit of a jerk in the Schultz fight. The way he was yelling at his cornerman between some of the rounds -- it was like he was a big baby crying over not getting his way. And then after the fight, when he was being interviewed by Larry Merchant, Foreman, with his grotesquelly swollen face hidden behind the customary big fight sunglasses, said that he outboxed Schultz and deserved the win. Foreman said Schultz ran away from him all night and long and that you don't give the heavyweight championship to a guy who runs away.

    What a louse!!! I guess the breeze from all of Schultz's movement is what dented George's face up!

    I'm sure George felt like he lost. and I felt bad for Schultz. I mean, he clearly didn't deserve to fight for the championship, but he did win the fight. And Foreman, even aftering getting an undeserved title shot and then a supposed "gimme" fight for his first defense, fails to do the honorable thing and give Schultz a rematch. Instead opting to allow himself to be stripped of his ever-so-precious heavyweight title. What a sham!

    I actually noticed Tucker slipping when he struggled with Ollie McCall in 1992..... The fight was dreadful...... Tucker got a gift since his man Don King was working on a suitable opponent for Lennox Lewis in 1993......

    Tucker was never the same fighter come the 1990s..... He left his talent and skills back in the 80s.....
