Holmes Induction

CHeers for that. On the champions forever video he seemed like he was on good terms with all of them.

He did didn't he?

Mind you he was rather insistant that he would have beaten any of them, where as the others were all very diplomatic (except for Frazier of course.)

I guess thats the result of being under appreciated, you have to insist your legacy and don't resond well to that legacy being threatened.

That DVD made me like Big George a lot, very honest, very open and very diplomatic.

Of course Ali and Norton could barely speak
Big George has created a heck of a lovable loser schtick,and made big money off it
But every single one of those boxers believe in their heart,they could have whupped each other,why get in to the ring otherwise?

True.

Is it true Big George behind it all is still as nasty as his 70's persona, it was meant to be true in the early 90's, but has he melloed?

I honestly dont know,Ive heard rumours,but you know what they say about a lie going round the world. If I was to make an educated guess,alot of it is schtick, but I also would say his faith has helped him alot with his anger issues.He does seem to have a sense of humor about himself,that he didnt have in the 70's

From listening to him on HBO and general interviews he seems a different person.

Many point out that this might be a marketing ploy, but I'm not convinced.
It's a question I'd dearly love to know the answer to.
