1973 George Foreman smokes EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!

[ICB]

It is a big shame that Larry Holmes never got hold of George as he would have beaten him any and every time.

I heard George Foreman was avoiding him, when they were both in there 40's making there comeback. But i don't know if thats true or not, but what i do know. Is that Larry Holmes's comeback was very underrated.

He beat up Ray Mercer, lost a close decision to Evander Holyfield. And deserved to be world champion at 45 but lost a razor thin close decision to Oliver McCall, which i think he won 7 rounds to 5.

I remember Holmes dropping his name alot, but think he was doing to Foreman what Foreman was doing with Tyson in comeback. Big bank and yeh...he believed he would whip George.

Holmes just flat out schooled Mercer...sort of picked up where Damiani left off before his nose was turned into a fire hose by Mercer. That was fun to watch. Holmes did well in run but had more then a few part time stunt doubles along the way. Still can't figure what that Paul poieir (?) thing was. If you didnt catch his fight with Quinn Navarre check it out see what you think. Been a while but I thought Navarre just boxed Holmes silly...bit of a rob job.

I've heard the Quinn Navarre fight was close, i haven't seen it though anywhere on the net. I've seen the Maurice Harris fight, and i have to admit despite Larry Holmes being one of my favourite boxers.

He did get a gift in that fight, but then again the man was in his late 40's, so i can forgive him for that. And remember he also had a few fights that should of gone his way. Spinks 2, Nielsen, McCall, so all in all it probably even's itself out.
