    George Foreman

    November 1974 >

    At first, George wanted an immediate rematch with Muhammad Ali.

    Then, he was supposed to fight an immediate comeback bout in late-December
    1974 to prove that he was fine.

    In January 1975, it was announced that George would retire.

    But George reconsidered, and stated that he was fighting in February 1975 in
    Japan for $1,000,000.

    But that blew up when the Fight Purse never arrived.

    And then it was George vs. Oscar Bonavena for March 24, 1975.

    It worked out well for George, if he carried on he would have got beaten by Holmes and never had made a comeback.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    And you know Jimmy Young was a God send.

    After 8 years George came back as a bit of a boxer and did quite well for himself.

    Nothing like he did with the Grill but he earned a fair living.

    He made more money from the grill than he did with his boxing a bit like Paul Newman and his business of whatever he made.

    Say what ya want, at least 5 quick stiffs were not included on an official record. That's something we can't say about a couple of today's mass manufactured 'devastating heavyweights'
