George Foreman - Boxer
Has he hadno amature background? Only reason I can think of for him only fighting bums in 15 (or 18?) fights??
I dont know? I dont think so.
From what iv seen of him he fightsin the same style as the young George Foreman but has the speedof the old George Foreman. He is a massive man at 6,5" and should do at least as well as the other American heavies out there at the mo.:confused:
He had very little if any amateur experience. He seemed to be heavy handed, but also slow handed. He's got good size and everything, but he's going to have to take things pretty slow IMO just due to his lack of experience. He seems to fight a bit like his father which concerns me because 'Big' George was a beast and sons of famous fighters that adopt their father's style of fighting can run into trouble....Marvis Frazier for example was a slick boxer, but Smokin' Joe wanted him to be a pressure fighter like he was and he just didn't have the skill set to do that.Quote:

Marvis didn't have the chin or size for it either. Also it was unfortunate for him that he was in Mike Tyson's era and ended up getting brutalized by the man. Probably made a good payday though.Quote:

cheese cheese and more cheese. Lyle can you ever just let bygones be bygones. :cool:Quote:
