Imagine, after like 2 decades, hearing "once again, heavyweight champion of the world". I can't put it into words. A legend from the golden era of boxing reclaiming the title. Amazing.
What made George so scary was his power was deceiving. He looked like he was just putting a lazy jab or uppercut out there but that thing was a bomb waiting to explode on your face or ribs
That’s what a real puncher is though. Even when he was younger he would practically compress heavy bags with ease, almost as if he was bored. It looks like he’s barely pivoting and yet he’s somehow generating a ton of power.
Exactly. He didn’t have to swing his hardest to knock a guy out especially as he got older . Idk anyone else that had that type of power of not having to put your legs in the punches
Foreman’s power was so strong it made Frazier jump. He hit his opponents like a bus, they wouldn’t know what to do. Even after his comeback foreman still hit like a train. Truly one of the most underrated boxers of all time
His transformation from punk to boxer to monster to Christian philanthropist and then to see him take back his title is one of the single greatest stories i've ever heard from truth or fiction.
My uncle is a pro HOF inductee I remember as a kid going to a gym where George was there working a heavy bag training in his comeback era you heard his shots outside half way down the block before you got there. I asked my uncle in Spanish who's that? no hesitation he said George. We walk in and the heavy bag looked ready to throw in the towel, it was George.
@@RogerYeahmon bro to be honest I have no idea what all he got or any extras because he was inducted in 2016 and he was killed in 2012. I'll ask my grandma and get back to you if he got anything he gave it to her.
@@RogerYeahmon You call him useless in boxing and I agree he was not good but taking those hits is a feat. You try taking hundreds of punches like that guy did and still stand.
@@RogerYeahmon being able to take damage is an elite skill itself. It doesn’t matter how good you are, if you can’t take damage then you’ll never be able to showcase it, that’s why people give credit to anyone who can take it, because most men would fold like a lawn chair from just 1 of those punches.
@@deleqtronica8733 and especially after being hit by probably the hardest puncher ever in big george. As for chuvalo, i'm croatian and he comes from a croatian family from bosnia and herzegovina, which is a neighbouring country and there's a stereotype about them having heads tougher and harder than a rock. So, i guess the stereotype is true, you couldn't knock chuvalo(čuvalo in croatian) out 🤣
And once again Heavyweight Champion of the world!! That line gave me goosebumps everytime,Heavyweight Champion at Age 45 That's truly legendary and I dont see anyone would break that record in a very long time
This is one of those records that I will believe it was broken when I see it. I do not think that I will be seeing it though, as this is extremely difficult feat to accomplish even once let alone 20 years apart. You have to win it young, retire, come back and do it again. Hard to see anyone doing this any time soon, if ever. In addition to cementing his own legendary status, he cemented the status of all those '70's fighters, that one of their own also managed to conquer the division two decades later.
For a someone perceived as a bully, Foreman had a tonne of heart. That Ron Lyle fight was as good as it gets watching two warriors trying to impose their will on each other.
I kept telling my dad he is going to KO Michale Moorer…He can’t keep running into Foremen’s right like that and my dad was like No way he is too old and it’s not hurting Moorer…Not even a second or two after he said that Moorer got dropped 😂😂😂
I saw that fight with my dad too! Except we were the inverse.. I thought George Foreman was fat and washed up and my dad kept saying "no you watch." Good memories.
@@mariocervantes8101 no kidding. The 90s was probably the best decade for heavyweights in all of boxing history. They had Tyson, Foreman, Holyfield, Lewis, Bowe, etc.
He was such a great man a demon in his youth and an angel in later life he’s so lovely and kind and funny like he could’ve been an actor or comedian or presenter
For a seek-and-destroy puncher? He had a truly impressive defence. Great parries, good head movement, terrific jab to destroy his opponent's rhytm -- and then you have his repertoire of old-school tricks like leverage blocks, stops, and pushing/holding. Kenny Norton fight is a great example: legendary boxer who got completely disarmed and destroyed. I still see George stopping Norton's left hook by putting his glove on Ken's elbow joint before it could land.
100% agree, Ali was the greatest entertainer boxing ever had, Foreman was the greatest fighter, Chin of steel and Rocks for hands. His unparalleled comeback seals it.
It brought a tear to my eye when the announcer said "And ONCE AGAIN, HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD..." The man is truly inspirational and deserves all of his good fortune in the ring and in business.
Foreman vs Lyle was like it was from a movie. You don’t usually see that type of back and forth in a fight, where one moment one fighter looks like he’s about to win, then the next it’s the other, and so on.
Forman is a smarter boxer than people realize he used a lot of old school basics and even some wrestling body pushing in his arsenal in the beginning of his career also when he came back he perfected the style in which he fights and learned to pace his self and pull his punches at times. Arguably underrated for his fighting technique and smarts in the ring.
Tysons punchs snapped off fast and caught you faster than you could guard them. Foremans punches came in like a guy swinging an ax, slow but they went through your guard no matter who you were.
He was such a great man a demon in his youth and an angel in later life he’s so lovely and kind and funny like he could’ve been an actor or comedian or presenter
@@oldschoolhiphop2275 he never got knocked out in his career, he fought ali twice, frazier and foreman once. Was never a good boxer, but probably had the best chin ever
These are really well done documentaries make as a great overview of these champions and the narration is epic. Also "6 knockdowns and 2 rounds saw George take Joes championship like Debo borrowing a bike" lmao, I wasn't expecting that reference😂😂😂 subscribed.
That is correct. Foreman made the mistake of throwing his heaviest artillery from round 1 against Holyfield and Morrison and that scared them and made them fight cautiously. Nearly everyone in the division took notice and realized outboxing Foreman with lateral movement wasn't that hard. Moorer got cocky because Foreman didn't put a lot on his shots to give him a false sense of security. Once Moorer stopped moving around and tried to take Foreman out, it was like stepping on a land mine.
I became a fan of George Foreman when I was a kid during his comeback. Every fight I saw was so entertaining because of how he can masterfully control his opponents and read their movements so well to the point he is like a psychic in the ring. Then when he throws his punch its like being buldozed by a run away truck. One of the Kings in boxing indeed!
Foreman is undisputedly one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Having lost his title to Ali, he came back 20 years later to win back the title from a man who was almost half his age. That's like seeing a 40 year old running back making a 100 yard sprint through a gauntlet of the best defensive lineup to make a touchdown in the closing seconds, helping his team win the NFL title by a single point. There's a word for that: incredible.
Love it. Walking uppercut. I didn't really see any other boxer throwing punches like this. Uppercuts are pretty much exclusively thrown in infigthing/short range. George is truly unique.
I've heard Foreman described as a monster from a horror movie, you keep hitting it as hard as you can but it just keeps lumbering towards you for the kill. He was terrifying to watch, slow and mechanical and precise. An absolute machine.
It's the narrator's style. Minutes later he said young George was like Michael Meyers stalking. Of course these are references newer than the time period he is speaking.
That's all that needs " SAYING ONCE AGAIN! HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD BIG GEORGE FOREMAN" What an achievement watching his comeback when I was younger I knew he'd do it massive respect to you George. ..YOU GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!
There has never been a boxer with so much power in relation to lesser hand speed. He just didn't need it because wherever he hit them shook them all the way down to their boots.
I watched him in his 40's when I was around 8 years old get the belt back defeating, Moore. I'm an avid sports nut, following all 4 of the major US sports, and every bit of combat you can possibly watch. With that being said, the 3 craziest things I have ever seen in boxing live.... Tyson biting Holyfields ear, Tyson Fury rising from the dead and Old man George Foreman beating a 25 year old champ in his prime. I'm glad George is a loved a revered person today, because he could be the opposite of. Avenging the defeat that Ali gave him all those years ago while wearing the very shorts he lost in.... You can't make this stuff up. Legend.
Ali would still be the goat, he was past his best when he beat George, I'm confident that Foreman could have put him down had they signed a rematch in an actual ring with correctly sized ropes
@@dylanthetyrantking1001 i don't think Ali would still be considered the GOAT if he lost to Foreman, people literally thought Ali was going to die in the ring, betting odds were like 7-1 in Foreman's favour. It was after that upset that people started seriously considering Ali the GOAT.
I don't know. You might be right, but Ali beat every top heavyweight of the 60s and 70s. George and Joe and several other legendary fighers from that era can't make that claim tho. I think there would be more people in the Joe Louis camp for sure.
I was 13 and I remember buying the fight poster in 94, I said Foreman is going to win this fight! I watched it with my grandma, God rest her soul. She dosed off and I was jumping up and down saying I told you so! What a great fight!
Your videos are spectacular and bring back great memories! I love how you give specific, detailed info about the fighters and in your stories! Enjoying them very much! Thank you!!
will always remember Foreman's comment on the Ali stare down Ali - Oh George you was in high school when i was knocking out Sonny Liston" The LENGENDDDDDD!!!!!!
He didn’t it was all from the rotation of his shoulders especially when he was older. It kept him from being really off balanced when he threw huge shots.
Never tracking boxing very much as a young man and I am grateful for it. Now I can watch everything like it's brand new and it's awesome to learn about all of these great fighters. Yall are doing great work and I appreciate these videos.
I remember when he beat Moore. I worked at a newsstand, it was playing live on my shitty radio behind the cash register. 7 of us listening. It was amazing.
Next to Ali, big George is the most extraordinary heavyweight of all time. Two whole separate careers at heavyweight ten years apart, absolutely unheard of, and he regained the heavyweight world title! Robbed against Shannon Briggs in his final fight. Sad affair that was.
What people forget is all Michael Moorer had to do was stay away, and not trade punches towards the end of that fight. Instead, Michael Moorer showed the heart of a champion. Moorer has the heart of a lion, but George has the heart, body, head, and fists of a Silver Back Gorilla that has been around the block a few times and then some. Foreman was a freak of nature, and an apex predator in a jungle full of dangerous animals. I will always love seeing the old lion that is long in the tooth school the younger lion that underestimated him/her. The lesson is to never mistake an older man's strength for weakness.
My friends dad grew up in 5th ward around the same time as George Foreman. He said George’s street was Monkey and he had a reputation of catching guys coming out of the bars and literally would pick dudes up by the ankles and shake them down for everything they had on them.
Amazing video, dude. I never watched these matches when I was younger, since I wasn't born until his last few years - but I remember my pops telling me about all the greats, and George was one that he brought up regularly. It's crazy how well respected these dudes were all over the globe, even in my home country where boxing isn't as big. Of course Tyson was a favorite, still my favorite up until this day. Anyway, love your channel dude.
I remember hearing about this in junior high school. George won his title back! Was all over the news. I didn't know at the time just how special that feat really was. I was 14 lol. I'm glad I lived to see that happen.
This man is probably the greatest narrator of all time, nothing but quotable lines lol. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a ghostwriter for a rapper lol or was a MC back in the day
Could you imagine the fight between Marciano and Foreman. Man, that would be an amazing watch. I wonder if Foreman would be able to hit Marciano hard enough for him to go down.

Never tracking boxing very much as a young man and I am grateful for it. Now I can watch everything like it's brand new and it's awesome to learn about all of these great fighters. Yall are doing great work and I appreciate these videos.
“6 knockdowns and two rounds saw George take Joe’s championship like Debo borrowing a bike.” Classic!
i have to admit. the debo part was just great. it made me both smile and laugh :-D
That walk n' stalk attack, was perfect for Big George
This narrator has got to be THE BEST NARRATOR I have ever experienced announced boxing history 💪🏿💪🏿💯
"Like D-Bo borrowing a bike." 😂😂
I remember when he beat Moore. I worked at a newsstand, it was playing live on my shitty radio behind the cash register. 7 of us listening. It was amazing.
A very well put together mini documentary, narrator sounds perfect, epic soundtrack and proper fx.. thanks for sharing!
HTF is George Chuvalo still standing let alone still alive after that 3 rounds butchery from Big George I'll never know. One tough SOB.
He took Frazier's title ". . . like Deebo borrowing a bike" I love it!
Man this channel is underated as
Next to Ali, big George is the most extraordinary heavyweight of all time.
Two whole separate careers at heavyweight ten years apart, absolutely unheard of, and he regained the heavyweight world title!
Robbed against Shannon Briggs in his final fight. Sad affair that was.
George Chuvalo is probably the most durable dude ever. No one could drop that dude I swear.
I always watch George foreman documentaries even though ive seen many already I just love his story.
What people forget is all Michael Moorer had to do was stay away, and not trade punches towards the end of that fight. Instead, Michael Moorer showed the heart of a champion. Moorer has the heart of a lion, but George has the heart, body, head, and fists of a Silver Back Gorilla that has been around the block a few times and then some. Foreman was a freak of nature, and an apex predator in a jungle full of dangerous animals. I will always love seeing the old lion that is long in the tooth school the younger lion that underestimated him/her. The lesson is to never mistake an older man's strength for weakness.
7:48
In his youth.. he Fought like michael Myers!!😂😂😂
I love it.😂😂😂😂
There will never be anyone like Foreman.
My friends dad grew up in 5th ward around the same time as George Foreman. He said George’s street was Monkey and he had a reputation of catching guys coming out of the bars and literally would pick dudes up by the ankles and shake them down for everything they had on them.
Good work Rhythm Boxing! Prime George Foreman was a different monster.
I love these videos thank you
Glad you enjoy the videos brother 💪
Great video. I really enjoyed that.
Thank you
George punches effortlessly, but that hand is so heavy.
I can only imagine the scenes.Probably one of the greatest champion wins of all time just by the context of it
"like Debo borrowing a bike" subbed immediately hahahah 😂 this commentary is gold "ragdoll physics" in reference to Cooney hahah 🤣
Amazing video, dude. I never watched these matches when I was younger, since I wasn't born until his last few years - but I remember my pops telling me about all the greats, and George was one that he brought up regularly. It's crazy how well respected these dudes were all over the globe, even in my home country where boxing isn't as big. Of course Tyson was a favorite, still my favorite up until this day.
Anyway, love your channel dude.
I remember hearing about this in junior high school. George won his title back! Was all over the news. I didn't know at the time just how special that feat really was. I was 14 lol. I'm glad I lived to see that happen.
This man is probably the greatest narrator of all time, nothing but quotable lines lol. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a ghostwriter for a rapper lol or was a MC back in the day
8:35 the look of panic in the refs eyes really tells you all you need to know about Foreman
One of the greatest sporting stories of all time imo
His hands are so heavy that you're stunned and disoriented even if you block
Could you imagine the fight between Marciano and Foreman. Man, that would be an amazing watch. I wonder if Foreman would be able to hit Marciano hard enough for him to go down.
I am a simple guy. I see Foreman. I click.
He fought like a stone Buddha lmfao love the commentary 🤣
George is a boxing icon, pop culture icon not too mmention a straight up icon in general
Pops trippin.. He want me to ask for my bike back. You know I wouldn’t trip
