ironically Holyfield really complimented Foremans punching power, he said he felt his teeth broke when he took a punch from Foreman, and this was a guy who has been in there with noted punchers like Tyson
When asked if George Foreman hit harder than Mike Tyson, Holyfield gave an answer to the effect of "Foreman didn't punch harder than Tyson, Foreman punched harder than *everybody*"
Incredible that his chin seemed dto get better with age. After his comeback, he was never dropped. Cooney, Cooper, Morrison, Moorer, Holyfield, Briggs, etc. Couldn't put him down.
To this day I say foreman had the best chin of all time considering the monsters he fought. Not many could put him down and even then he'd be straight back up swinging
@@EverettBurger his chin was always crazy, lyle gave him one hell of an asswhopping and he was somehow still able to knock him out seconds after being dropped.
Foreman, a man of God, is now humble, smart and powerful. However, in his first incarnation he was powerful but neither humble nor smart as Muhammad Ali proved
Foreman is so humble and real. Fact is both men have a tremendous chin. Keep in mind of Foreman's age at the time he fought Holyfield and went to distance with him in Holyfield's prime. Holyfield said Foreman hit so hard that he thought Foreman knocked all his teeth out.
@@Bryantthewizz He did say that bozo watch the interview I just seen it, Holyfield said George was the hardest hitter he ever fought and thought he knocked his teeth out
Holyfield was my favorite fighter to watch back in the day. He fought all the top fighters and he gave you your moneys worth win or lose. He never trashed talked. He let his fighting do the talking.Great fighter one of the best ever.
It was a interesting fight. Holyfield took those punches like a champ and even threw some massive bombs at Foreman and didn’t even looked bothered. Holyfield looked pissed too lol. No wonder Mike Tyson lost to him.
Makes you wonder how so many people think tyson is the heavyweight goat when holyfield had an easier time finishing 32 yo tyson off than a 42 year old foreman. And holyfield was 5 years younger when he fought foreman too.
YEAH TYSON HADN'T HAD ANYONE STAND TOE To TOE in MIDDLE of THE RING and TAKE HIS BEST SHOT... NEVER HAD ANYONE GIVE THEIR BEST AND WATCHED AS TYSON SKIPPED THREE ft.
Foreman is one of the people who went through crazy battles, and still talks normally. He is a different level of tough. Taking shots and not having speech problems later in life.
Man when you listen to any of these old school boxers they always show so much class and respect for their opponents. There are many fighters who could learn a thing or to from them.
More than once, but yes. Ali, he wasn't hurt so much as tired. Lyle..ok yes, and Lyle is known to be one of the hardest punchers of all time. And Jimmy Young, if you watch the footage, he stumbled over his own feet. He was never down in his second career however. He has said in interviews this was largely because he was a lot more relaxed in the ring which helped him to absorb and roll better with the punches.
Got to love this champ! That's why these fighters are considered by me, can't speak for everybody, they are the best, and purest in heart as fighters. They respect each other and gives due credit.
@@Dynamo001 Mike himself even thought buster was a fluke and even admitted of being out partying n doing drugs the night before.that didn't rattle his confidence/arrogance
Evander was great but it sounds like you’re talking about somebody else. He was known as a small heavyweight, being a great crusiereeihht and a light heavyweight as an amateur. Also he wasn’t known as a power puncher.
@@HkFinn83 I didn't say power puncher but has power n definitely not a pillow fisted fighter.n being 6 foot 2 isn't small at all he jus fought all of those damn giants lol. N to put on 15 pounds of muscle to go to heavy weight is the mark of a good frame m genetics
@@luckybarnes7576, I hate to tell you this but Holyfield was on steroids for years. He had them delivered to a house down the road under the name Even Fields (not very clever).

It’s crazy the caliber of athletes we used to have. Ali shined so brightly that we often might not hear the stories or see the actions of other legends like we should

Holyfield was definitely THE REAL DEAL he was fearless in the ring , ask Tyson . He would throw some serious leather against any opponent . In return he ended up eating a lot of leather . A TRUE CHAMPION !
Damn, this man is hands down one of the greatest to ever do it. Tough as nails, hit like a freight train with minimal effort and a sweetheart of a human being to top it all off. We love you, Big George.
Foreman was kind of full of himself when he was younger but After Ali beat him George changed. He became very humble. Foreman and Holyfield both had good chins 👍👍
Holyfield was definitely a monster in the ring. When you put two warriors like Foreman, and Holyfield together in the ring, there is nothing like it. Both guys had the same mentality, and the same dog inside them, just different physiques, and styles.
Strong Character Big Heart Heavy Hands, gracious & humble. Big George, gotta love'em. I was a Big fan of Evander since I boxed out of Atlanta as well. He was my favorite heavyweight back then.
George’s greatness came from the humility he embraced. It enabled him to accomplish incredible feats because he could assess himself and the world honestly.
I really dig hearing him talk. He’s humble, eloquent and a good story teller, but i recon Tyson as he’s gotten older is incredible to hear him tell stories but also philosophise on life in general, when we were young we only saw the incredible beast he was in the ring, you heard him talk abit but not like the access we have with him a d others today. Cheers from Australia, love these shorts
I can't imagine how the top boxers of that time felt. They were fighting quietly among themselves and then a demon, a nightmare from the past came to take what belongs to him. And only Morrison and Holyfield were able to defend the honor of their generation.
He is real humble champ 💪
Yeah
Ehhhh he did name all of his children George lol.

he probably would, but these conversational skills already made him a 100 millionaire

And there NEVER will be!
Foreman, a man of God, is now humble, smart and powerful. However, in his first incarnation he was powerful but neither humble nor smart as Muhammad Ali proved
George Foreman is always very respectful and complimentary about his opponents.
And it makes him look good as well.
A real Christian Gentleman.
Exactly, I believe he is truly a real Christian just look at the fruit of the spirit his life bears!
True! Humbleness, humility, submission and destroying Ego are the true stripped down visible core of what a true Christian should be
Foreman is so humble and real. Fact is both men have a tremendous chin. Keep in mind of Foreman's age at the time he fought Holyfield and went to distance with him in Holyfield's prime. Holyfield said Foreman hit so hard that he thought Foreman knocked all his teeth out.
The "KING" of personality! NEVER has a bad word about ANYONE! Fantastic human being ,a true credit to the human species!!
@Frank, George Foreman is a great human being.
A really fine specimen of the human species.
That's George, honest, never takes undue credit. A man of integrity. 🎸
@Antonio Petisce, big George is an awesome human being!!!
Foreman is just too respectful man. He is the toughest boxer ever
@Humbledude37, Yes absolutely, George Foreman doesn't realize how tough he truly is.

Evander criminally underrated
I think Holyfield is highly rated.
Probably the most entertaining heavy weight with a heart of a lion.
the overatted steroid junkie
Holyfield has a greater resume than Tyson
Evan fields the steroid junkie
This is the great George Foreman being gracious and respectful to his fellow man
Definitely! Evander was a relentless beast in the ring.
A beautiful example of a humble Christian.
Unbelievably humble East Texas man
George is always good to listen to for his straightforward honesty.
George Foreman has constantly seemed like one of the nicest and most respectful monsters to ever walk the earth
*Old George
I like that ! Respectful monsters ! Great description !
George has really mellowed over the years. He was a real killer in his early boxing years.

George is humble he is a sweet Hart he really is a PASTOR bless you.
God I love Foreman. Such a nice guy. Won’t take credit for anything.

Very humble. Those last shots from Holyfield make me flinch through my phone.

Man when you listen to any of these old school boxers they always show so much class and respect for their opponents. There are many fighters who could learn a thing or to from them.
I'm such a fan of George.
Facts. The real deal
He would be in my top 5. Great Boxer. Not many took George’s best shots and George wasn’t making excuses.
George gives credit where credit is due. I love that about him!
George has the best chin in the sports. He was down only once in his whole career and he had plenty of fights in his 40s.
Well Ron Lyle stuck him down twice but only stopped once you’re right.
More than once, but yes. Ali, he wasn't hurt so much as tired. Lyle..ok yes, and Lyle is known to be one of the hardest punchers of all time.

Holyfield is one of the most underrated champions in boxing history imo. If not the most underrated
I agree. He was toe to toe with men much bigger men, took all the shots and gave as good too.
Evander really had it. great boxer in technique. Big frame,has power and a legendary chin. He was the first man to truly rattle Tyson's confidence
