But i dont think this is good cooperation.. Wilder is totally different type of puncher.. We dont need huge overweighted strong slower Wilder. I truly believe his power is his speed and athleticism. Wilder needs get back to his natural fit weight arround 215-220lbs but work on his defence.. I believe he needs mayweather to help him with footwork and defence..

    You see the punch coming, it's slow and when it lands it shakes your whole body. When George hit opponents to me it looked like he was chopping a tree down, TIMBER. Down they go, one after the other. In combination of bone crushing power, Foreman evolved as a man from being very angry to being very humble, honorable and very very likeable. He belongs in the top 6 heavyweight champions of all time. George Foreman was a better man than he was a heavyweight champion.

      Holyfield is a tremendous athelete, and a perfectly polished boxer that hit very hard. Several times Holyfield hit "Big George" with combo's of so many punches in a row in rapid succession its hard to count how many it was. Foreman seemingly unaffected, makes me wonder what that voice inside Holyfield's mind was saying, because Holyfield has quite a since of humor. Both Great Boxers and Men worthy of being the HeavyWeight Champion of the World. Holyfield and Foreman both very devout Christian's, and good kind men. They inspire me to be a better man and more likeable person, yet with two years of boxing as a teen under my kind appearance and peaceful outer layer live's a man that can lite 'em up quick fast and in grand style. Ive loved boxing every since I can remember. These two men are two of Boxings Best Ever. Best Ever by the was Joe Louis. Nobody will ever defend the heavyweight tile more that the 25 times the Brown Bomber did. Louis would have more than that had the second world war not prevented him from having more fights. Wish Louis"s life after retirement had not been so tragic, hate and greed had its way with Joe Louis mostly by the Government, and after he did so much for the government. Louis Schmelling 2 is the most important sporting event of the Century. Joe beat the Nazzi's, no telling what the world would be like had Louis lost that fight. Confidence brings success and success brings confidence. Had louis lost it would had given quite a boost to the so called "master race". Thank God Louis took the wind from thier sail.

He needs to be celebrated and appreciated while he is still here, it will be a very long time before we witness a career like his. Also, is his name not the best name for a fighter ever?! George Foreman. Just straight up powerful.

    George Foreman is one of the best players in boxing. He won a young man and won the title when he was in his forties. He is the strongest jaw and the strongest punch. I wish him health and wellness

    George Foreman is an inspiration to every human being that hears his story. He fell from the highest height, and built the character of a good man where there was anger before. He was at the Olympian height when he kneeled in the corner after the Moorer fight. A hero reborn.

    Only george foreman could make a comeback like he did. When you get old you lose speed that you can never get back. But punching power stays or you can get it all back. Foreman was easily the hardest puncher in boxing history. Holyfield said it himself

    I remember when George was in the midst of his comeback and everyone was saying they admired him for his passion but he was going to be hurt in the end, and very concerned he would. Then he won the HW championship of the world. That's why he's my number one HW champ.

    The fact that the first incarnation of George Foreman was so terrifying and legit dangerous, shows the absolute other that Ali really was... it was a man against a boy in a lot of ways... I liked late George Foreman, and his KO of Gerry Cooney was amazing... looks like he's walking to the frig for a beer when he brutally drops Cooney... then with Moorer winning like every minute of the fight, and a short right to the chin and Moorer looks like he got shot with a tranquilizer gun...and he was 45yrs old... wow

      He would’ve gotten it if he didn’t decide to take a tune up fight against Young, however Ali did agree to the fight, but Foreman was out of shape and lost, Ali never DUCKED Foreman.
