Thread: Bizarre/Strange/funny events in boxing?

I'm a big George Foreman fan and I did hear about the event where he fought 5 guys in 1 boxing event, if you can call it that, in Canada.

I have to say this is probably the most bizarre thing I've seen. It's not that he's beating up 5 tomato cans in a row, but he's also dancing and moving in the ring like Muhammad Ali! Especially for the 1st guy. Never knew he had that agility and footspeed! What's also funny is that ALi is doing the commentary with Howard Cossell and he's taunting Foreman by saying "Lean on the ropes! Cover up, cover up. He's going to tire himself out! Play the ropes!"

Then the post fight interview with Foreman is even more weird. He goes on an angry tirade about how you should not fight laying on the ropes and he hates that tactic and that Ali didn't beat the real Foreman. Just weird stuff man.

Here's the 1st and last part.
