    George Foreman is very underrated, people don't talk about him as much as about other boxers, he is living in the shadow of Ali and Tyson, but if you look at Foremans's boxing record, it is incredible, and what really stuns me the fact he skipped 10 years in his career, then he returned as strong as before even in his older age. Foreman was basically fighting against two things: his opponents and his age, and in his 40's he still did very well and his last two maches were when he was 48 years old.
    For me he is the greatest boxer and also as a human he is a great, nice person, while Tyson had a gangster mentality, who even committed crime, but his fans just ignore it of course.

    George is so right Ali was the greatest show on earth. He single handedly did more for boxing than anyone as Archie Moore stated. Ali was also gifted with more natural ability than any boxer that was the reason he was able to do what he did as only he could do it. SRR was the boxer he wanted to be like, and just like RJJ and SRL after Ali you started seeing another version of skills like Muhammad Ali. Ali was not a big puncher but man would he hit you a lot of times. Hardly ever went to the body and never really had a trainer that was giving him instructions. Dundee was clever in the fact that he knew he couldn't tell Ali what to do or how to fight. He let him be him and that's all he needed because Ali was a genius in that ring.

    George is no dope. He fell victim to the " peek a boo" with the peek being a defensive strategy to bring George closer and the boo being the powerful counter punch, most often the fast right cross. Unlike Marciano , the great Ali threw many straight right hands, not that many overhand rights with full power. Peak physical condition and determined Ali was the only one who could make George look small.
