George Foreman tribute video
http://youtube.com/watch?v=MjL4dRtkgic
you can also see him calling out tyson towards the end. i dont get why they didnt fight. i heard don trying to get a fight for tyson, this was in private with a few ppl around. and apparently tyson started shouting and saying stuff like 'F*** u don, u tryna get me killed?!!'
also notice the old fat george's power. its freaking awesome. he is rocking guys headback like i've neva seen lewis or tyson do as effortlessly as him. he's killing these journeymen and some prospects. the scary thing is that it doesnt seem like he's putting everything into them punches, they dont seem as explosive as the young foremans punches, but still he almost killed conney and sent jamesons gumshield flying to iraq. his jab is also very powerful.
foremans power is somat else, pure raw, heavyhanded punches....scary!
imo the tyson of 1989+ would get eaten in similar fashion to frazier, very little headmovement, just straight ahead, and george punches far too hard to let tyson get away. the prime tyson woould give foreman hell imo cos his bobbing and weaving, his combo punching and most importantly his jab and his footwork. i saw the pirme tyson do some very smart things in his prime. he would fake a jab and pretend he;s comin in on the opponent, then he'd side step and attack from an angle. both awesome fighters!
enjoy the video!

Im not so sure about that even Though Tyson was fading after 1989 he was still great especially in first Ruddock fight and remember how much trouble Foreman had with Alex Stewart who is supposed to have suspect chin and he stands straight up yet he was able to give Foreman all he could handle beat Foremans face so bad it looked like it was going to blow up and almost won decision i believe i scored it a draw.

I love me some George, this dude just came to do his thing. He came to fight and just give it his all.
My fav. George fights are:
vs. Lyle - Talk about back and forth action, knockdowns, thrills ans spills from begining to end.
vs. Evander - If it's one thing you can say is that he tried his heart out but the younger Holy was just a menace
vs. Alex Schulz & Stewart - Eventho he was past it this dude went in there and just bangged it out with them
vs. Moorer - Forget it man, this fight gets me misty eyed that fwocken right hand was picture perfect

Repeatedly
By the 4th Foreman kept looking at the ref like "Why in the heck arent you stopping this thing?"
Guy went from Italian HW champ to retired overnight

Alot of people thought Schulz was robbed in Foreman fight.
Anyway my favorite Foreman fights are
Foreman vs Cooney
Foreman vs Frazier 1
Foreman vs Norton
Foreman vs Lyle
Foreman vs Holyfield
Foreman vs Stewart
Foreman vs Moorer
Re: George Foreman tribute video
The crazy part is if Foreman was just a bit faster he would have been king of the division with almost no resistance except from the very top of the tier

The Schulz fight was def. close I've seen it a couple of times, but I had it for George when I saw it live and the other times I've seen it I've also scored it for George.
The Cooney & Norton fights were good fights but a bit one sided. I like to see George pushed to the limits and I like to see him dig deep down inside and give it his all. Same applies with Evander they just seem to be better when they are pushed to their limits.
How about the Peralta fight I mean how the ref. had it 9-1 rds. for George is crazy it was closer fight then 9-1 that's for damn! sure. I had it 6-4 for George....

Cooney won first round if i remember and actually hurt Foreman for split second reason i like them because of great kos and yes i like to see Foreman pushed but that didn't happen to often ;)
I haven't seen that peralta fight i heard about i need to see that one.
