And let's not forget your hero Evan Fields was a known steroid cheat.
Doctor Ron,
You are correct on 2 of the above 3 statements. That's batting .667 > which puts you in the
'Hall of Fame'.
But if you think that George Foreman was 'a joke', then you never saw him in Training.
I didn't say joke, I said he wasn't a great anymore. I said side show because more people cared about his age than anything else.
There are very few greats, young George was one of them, I'm not going to elevate old George to that status because he landed one punch on Moorers sweet spot.
in all honesty, I think Old George would have whooped Young George's ass, he came back a more well rounded (no pun intended) fighter, had an outstanding piston like jab that he didn't have before and anvil straight right hand rather than just his clubbing hooks and wide uppercuts of when he was young, he also paced himself a lot better and could still take a nuclear bomb on the chin without flinching, he was a great fighter period, didn't matter what time frame
