Exactly bro. I saw this shit on boxrec the other day and I was like hold on let me investigate. Ik it had to be bogus and that's why Lenox lewis ate his ass up the very next fight
He 10000000% lost this fight. Even by just watching this video of “highlights” which should be re-names to “lowlights”, you can tell Foreman’s old ass out-boxed him.
He was robbed however, at that time there was real concern that if Foreman continued winning and fighting tougher opponents at his age he could get severely hurt or worse, so this was the commissions way of telling him to retire for good and that he would never win another decision, right or wrong

And Tyson still has great speed as he’s shown in his few training videos so I’d be 100% sure he would beat foreman at his current age (71).

It would've been almost impossible for Tyson to ko him as he had a steel chin in his older years, hell Holyfield threw some of the biggest bombs I've ever seen, yet George was still standing, those were the same fist that had Tyson out on his feet in the first fight.

yuppp, even evender who has fought Tyson and foreman (40yo foreman). said that Foreman hit the hardest in his career. imagine if young foreman hit yo face, neil armstrong wouldnt need an airspace for goin to the moon
If they had given the fight to George he would have been in line to face lewis ! We all know that George was great at landing the right hand and lewis wasn't good at taking them ! I heard the wbc and boxing insiders made sure George didn't get the fight. Shame George would have done well against Lennox lewis !
MAYBE but my money was on big George ! Lewis wasn't as good as George in my opinion. George had the style to beat lewis even at 50 that right hand of George would have landed and that would have been that. but we will never know as the best man doesn't always win in boxing.
+Daniel S Ive always seen lewis as a naturall just as strong fighter as foreman but he was more athletic, much better skilled and had faster hands. foreman imo hit harder and could take a punch better but would be chanceless in a fight with lewis. He would have to try to chase lewis and trap him in the ropes but i doubt he could do it. lewis has the longer arms and the better jab
@@CPyRo His arms couldn't have been much longer because GF had an 80+ inch reach. George's jab was a Helluva punch, too. He knocked 6 foot 6 Gerry Cooney down the 1st time with that telephone pole jab......

I never saw the fight when it happened back then, but I just watched it now. You could not have put it better!! Foreman robbed!!! Even the commentary in the last round say "briggs is probably behind on the score cards and needs a knockout". This is a disgrace to boxing and George Foreman.

I agree, and commented my thoughts on it, before I saw and replied to yours. Briggs out in 5 rounds, tops. As a bonus thought, I strongly believe Joe Frazier would have Smoked him badly, too.
The way the old school HW threw blow's. They throw them from anywhere with no real effort, but with alot of intensity. How did Briggs take so many blows here.. 💯👏💰💰 anyway, foreman is worth 300-400 million to date. What's with the lineal decision ffs.
Is there any way to take more punches than Briggs took in this fight? Is there any way to have worse defense than this?:D He just ate absolutely everything what Foreman threw. He took more punches in this fight than statistical boxer takes in 5 lifetimes:D
George is a legend. In my opinion the greatest fighter. I haven’t seen anyone knock down George in his second coming. What a heart and what a punch. Could stop a tank.
Foreman won, also old relic Foreman can go toe to toe with a modern big durable HW and still come out on top, thats incredible, as in he forced Briggs to box because briggs cant stand toe to toe
It goes to show how good the golden age of boxing was. When one of its fighters (and there were quite a few as good as foreman) can come back decades after his prime and reach the top.
Lol I don't know what fucking fight the judges watch but it wasn't this one. I've seen the original fight and briggs lost. He's got terrible boxing skills and relys on his concrete head to carry him through the fight.
He 10000000% lost this fight. Even by just watching this video of “highlights” which should be re-names to “lowlights”, you can tell Foreman’s old ass out-boxed him.
Shannon wasn’t a great fighter but he damn sure was a boxer who can take knockout punches without getting knocked out and a professional human punching bad😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯🥊🥊👌🏿
Over Da Edge Broadcasting He told them to give Shannon the win George made millions and was already rich from the grills and I’m not sure if this is true but Shannon’s mum apparently died and he was going through some shit so George must have felt empathetic for him and gave him the win
Dreadful decision. the Politics of boxing is indeed corrupt. Foreman won this fight. Briggs did no where near enough for it even to be considered in his favour. Foreman comfortably dominant.
No f***ing way Briggs won. Those “judges” were either bought off or watching some other fight. Foreman pounded him all over that ring. A horrible decision.

George's physical strength is in its own league. Instead of stepping back to reset he just pushes the other guy back- sometimes with one arm!

He was a lumberjack. He chopped a lot of wood and did a lot of unconventional strength training.

The way the old school HW threw blow's. They throw them from anywhere with no real effort, but with alot of intensity. How did Briggs take so many blows here.. 💯👏💰💰 anyway, foreman is worth 300-400 million to date. What's with the lineal decision ffs.
Robbed Big George....
Is there any way to take more punches than Briggs took in this fight? Is there any way to have worse defense than this?:D He just ate absolutely everything what Foreman threw. He took more punches in this fight than statistical boxer takes in 5 lifetimes:D
Krzych Then he starts to rant "Lets Go Champ"
You should watch Briggs vs Vitali.... brutal beat up man
Briggs is like what khabib said to diaz people jus come beat him up and go
Im glad that Briggs won tho, cause we got to see him vs Vitali, more specifically we got to see him get fucked up and get brain damage
George Foreman got robbed of that fight.
For me Foreman is that winner
George is a legend. In my opinion the greatest fighter. I haven’t seen anyone knock down George in his second coming. What a heart and what a punch. Could stop a tank.
Foreman won, also old relic Foreman can go toe to toe with a modern big durable HW and still come out on top, thats incredible, as in he forced Briggs to box because briggs cant stand toe to toe
Lets go champ 😂💪
It goes to show how good the golden age of boxing was. When one of its fighters (and there were quite a few as good as foreman) can come back decades after his prime and reach the top.
Lol I don't know what fucking fight the judges watch but it wasn't this one. I've seen the original fight and briggs lost.
He's got terrible boxing skills and relys on his concrete head to carry him through the fight.
This alone proves the corruption of boxing judges.
This fight was robbed from George foreman.
He 10000000% lost this fight. Even by just watching this video of “highlights” which should be re-names to “lowlights”, you can tell Foreman’s old ass out-boxed him.
I don't know what y'all talking bout. Briggs chin gave Foreman's gloves a beating
How can foreman lose the Fight?
Being out boxed..but he won this fight..no argument there..was beating briggs ass the whole fight.
Shannon wasn’t a great fighter but he damn sure was a boxer who can take knockout punches without getting knocked out and a professional human punching bad😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯🥊🥊👌🏿
Big George won that fight!
George Foreman won that one, no question, he landed more blows and was dominant. Great athlete and a great character.
this is only half decent thing Briggs has ever won and old almost 50 out of shape old George foremen nothing to be proud of tbh
Foreman was not really out of shape he was hitting him hard just he got robbed from judges.
Over Da Edge Broadcasting He told them to give Shannon the win George made millions and was already rich from the grills and I’m not sure if this is true but Shannon’s mum apparently died and he was going through some shit so George must have felt empathetic for him and gave him the win
Judges: "After all he is too old to actively defend the title. So let us do what is best for business by rewarding the young man".
Shameful decision shame on those judges absolute wasters
Dreadful decision. the Politics of boxing is indeed corrupt. Foreman won this fight. Briggs did no where near enough for it even to be considered in his favour. Foreman comfortably dominant.
Briggs has by far one of the toughest chins ever!!! I want a chin like Briggs
Lennox Lewis broke that chin 😄..Foreman couldn't even knock Briggs down at all.
Cory Anthony Because he was old as shit
Briggs chin against Vitali was ridiculously good too. He took a huge beat down and was still standing. His brain must be mush by now.
No f***ing way Briggs won. Those “judges” were either bought off or watching some other fight. Foreman pounded him all over that ring. A horrible decision.
well wbc does stand for we be crooks
+David Gomez hey james toney, is this your new Facebook page?
Or Whatta Bad Call.....
What are those judges smokin ? 116 - 112 I didn't know Ray Charles was scoring the fight 😄
The judges were Ray Charles, Stevie wonder n Helen keller
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS LIVE! AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT "GEORGE" WON BY AT LEAST 4 ROUNDS!
This was some of the best boxing George did in his second career. He wasn't looking for a KO he was taking him apart. Shannon knew who won.
