The definition of fear is looking across the ring and knowing your 14-2 ass is gonna be #55.
It just shows you how great Ali was to beat the most powerful heavyweight champion of all time.
Have I mentioned Ali took the bomb left hook from Joe Frazier?
God I love Foreman. What a frickin fighter. According to him. He didn't take Ali seriously. Ali had lost previous fights going into the v Foreman. He's just one of those guys I never get tired of watching replays. That Ali fight ruined him mentally for a while. Damon he is beautiful to watch.
His comeback is more and more understated in an age where guys collect trinkets like random door prizes. Funny, lark and at time a rehearsed punch line but the at the end of the day he learned and earned it all back. Foreman was adapting and refining his approach when Hopkins was still fighting with his face. Man, young, old or even older and being robbed vs Briggs...I miss some Foreman!
I remember an article in The Ring a few years ago about his comeback.
It went something like this: "He was big and slow like a glacier , but still retained much of the punching power that terrorized the heavyweights of the 70's and as many of his opponents found out, a glacier could be hard to fight."
Foreman handpicked his opponents and he was scared of getting battered by Lennox Lewis.
Foreman may have been robbed by Briggs, I thought it was close but he certainly robbed Axel Schultz.
Spot on Shultz was robbed blind. Foreman was smart in the comeback, he found a network nitch and maxed charisma. He rode that half laughing and half curious boom boom train for everything it had ;D. All chuckles aside we have a heavyweight champion today calling himself bronze bomber who cannot come close to matching Foreman's competition...and that's only Georges 'comeback' competition. He also proved to have all his faculties when he wanted nothing to do with Lewis ;D
