With the state of the HW division, can Big George's 3rd comeback be far behind?
How old is George Foreman now? Fifty-something? Would anyone be really surprised if Big George announced he was coming back for one more shot? After all, you got all kinds of old fogies coming back to fight now. Why not George? Hell... he's still got the size. And I'm sure those punches are probably a lot heavier now.
I mean, the licensing boards don't seem to give a damn just WHO is fighting out there. Nobody seems to have the balls to tell Evander Holyfield (as an example) that he's risking long-term damage to himself if he keeps on fighting. And the HW division is pretty damn desperate for some big names. So why not?
Bottom line: I quit watching heavyweight fights a LO-O-O-O-O-O-ONG time ago.

I remember the last time he talked about coming back was when Lennox was mulling retirement (after he beat Klitcho), he said he would fight everyone but Lennox but he never made a return. He is simply to old and although he still may pack power his stamina won't be enough to compete with these young guy's

i think george will be 59 in early 08---no shot at being a fighter anymore

What about Foreman Tyson? That would be a fight id love to see.

I think he said before the only guy hed come back to fight would be Larry Holmes..and if youve seen Holmes lately you would know there is zero chance of that. I hope he never climbs though the ropes again and im sure he wont.
