@@EBBX. Foreman wasnt just massive, his heavy jab, parry, long guard style with arm blocks and leverage and push and pull tactics is a nightmare for short fighters and infighters. That is the reason why Frazier lost. Tbh, Foreman was a nightmare for anyone, his freakisly good at cutting of the ring, esp his 1972 to 1974 years, if Ali wasn't in the division at that time, he would have terrorized the heavyweight division for a decade.
@@nukergaming7983 I Agree, Foreman was pure terror for the heavyweights in 1970s I still don't get how Ali managed to pull out his victory against foreman
It would suck because he’d have already KOed all the good heavyweights before they ever got a chance to be anyone, and he’d just be utterly demolishing sad underprepared mandatories. In foreman’s youth(not his prime, as he quit boxing before his prime), he was taking on legends and breaking them. In this era, they’d have done him like GGG and never given him a fight against any champions until the big money guys retired.
@@kirantraj8293 Usyk yes, AJ no. Foreman is all wrong for AJ because of his work rate, durability, debilitating punching power, and freakish strength. The only way to beat him was to have a combination of slick technique and insane durability(Muhammad Ali and Evander Holyfield) or fight him when he was more interested in making TV shows and oversized panini presses. 😂
@@cookieman3899Shavers did punch harder but there wasn't any great quality about him aside his punching power. George foreman had amazing timing , was a damn tank , hit pretty hard. So Foreman would undoubtedly win.
@@lightskinkeithsweat2717 Eh, he wasn't as scary as Liston. He had the potential to be his successor but in a 1v1 against Liston....... I think we all know who wins.
@@CrownMe13he said sonny was the only man that not only stopped him from coming forward but was able to push him back. Big George walked everyone he ever fought professionally down. Heavy hitters like fraizer, Norton, Tommy Morrison, Evander Holyfield, Shannon “the cannon” Briggs, moorer, etc. Never saw him take a step backwards. Speaks volumes about Liston. Too bad he was in the mob and took the dive against Ali 👎🏽👎🏽
That happened a lot. He just hit that hard. It also had to do with the fact that his physical strength was off the charts so his opponents had to get away from both being punched by asteroids and also wrestling with a bear. Look at the way Tommy Morrison ran away from an older George.
There’s a theory that foreman was drugged, there’s another theory that Ali had a mole who was one of foreman’s cornermen who was instructed to mislead him. (These are just theories but one of foreman’s cornerman I recall ended up switching to Ali’s team after the fight so). There’s a lot of theories to explain why foreman just wasn’t fighting like the foreman “we know” but it’s more likely revolving around his conditioning. Since he hadn’t had a fight go past 3 rounds in like 3 years. It’s likely that had something to do with it.
@@yotamdude5866Cleveland Williams made a comeback after his guts got blown out with a magnum. Tf you mean “not nearly as tough.” Sonny Liston wasn’t loved by crowds and was a walking monster crushing you with his punches if you weren’t careful. And was essentially raised as a slave by his father as well as being in his 40s when he won the title. Those men are just as tough if not a little more. Even Ali said so when talking about Cleveland Williams.
Tons of guys ran away from him. I've never seen a boxer have so many people run for their lives in the ring as I have with George. He hit just as hard with either hand and he was, and still is, the naturally strongest HW champ in history.
@@brittnineeley5956 Earnie Shavers is the Hardest puncher of all time, yes, but so is Julian Jackson. Earnie shaver was undoubtedly a gifted puncher, and by becoming a heavyweight he completed his punching potential. On the other hand, Jackson being a middleweight had such power in both hands that he achieved and insane ammount of KO's in his career, although because of his size and complexion he could have been a heavier fighter, despite all that his accomplishments as a middleweight gained him the recognition of "The Best Puncher Pound for Pound".
"Sonny Liston, first role model i had. No doubt the scariest human being I've met in the ring, the only man to make me back up consistently" - George Foreman.
He always had the chin and the fists. He was just more relaxed when he was older so he didn't react with full force when he got hit. The fists, well, they speak for themselves. He might have even hit harder when he was older if you can believe that. Just look how his arms kept getting bigger as he aged. I think they were like 24" when he was around 42. Google "George Foreman arms" and look at the size of them. At the weigh-in when he would show the guns . . . holy shit. They were massive. Cheers
tbf current George is what George actually wanted to be. He just wanted to emulate his idol Sonny Liston so he adopted the persona and wanted to be seen as his successor.
Incrível como ele mudou de semblante, na juventude ele tinha cara de mau, e quando voltou tinha cara de gentil! Mais não se enganem, ele voltou implacável contra seus oponentes.
I once read in a book that a man could change in a moment, I didn't believe it until I heard George Foreman story , that book was right, only case I've known
I love both of them. But we all know what would happen to Ali in the rematch. Foreman just underestimated Ali's intelligence. He wouldn't let him hang around the ropes this time. There is a reason why boxers were running away from Foreman.
Foreman with the afro and moustache was just 🥶 cold. On top of that he had a stone cold straight facial expression while he beat his opponents to death
“If he comes to me I’m gonna break his neck,if he chooses to run I’m gonna catch him then break his neck”cold blooded🥶
