It depends on the fight for the early George,against Paez,or Roman,he just snapped off that big long jab and came in off it with crushing intent.He had the right game plan with Frazier,catch him in that weave with a cross. Unfortunatly for Joe,and his title,his style was tailor made for Foreman
I always thought Joe looked a little chuncky in his matches with Foreman.? . Joe's best weight was a bout 200-205.
