    George always had the great chin, he was more exhausted then hurt vs Muhammad, and the Lyle fight , just shows how great his will and chin were, pretty much everyone in the heavyweight division would have been knocked out tasting that ron lyle arsenal. And big George was lucky Lyle was not 26, and him 34 lol

    Nope.

    Had some assets his young version didn't, but in his prime he would blow out the likes of Tommy or Moorer.
