      It was amazing how he came back after retiring at the age of 28 is crazyness and 10 year's later he came back into the ring showed real determination despite his age and never gave up till he finally won the heavyweight championship again amazing story

      Judges ruin fights when they have an agenda going into it. Fairly obvious to me that Briggs knew he lost, George knew he won. There’s no way Briggs won 5 more rounds than George, anybody who watched the fight knows it. For being 48 years old and taking it to the young guns, Foreman is a living legend. #2 Heavyweight, ever.

      Most already know.But Foreman didn't have many skills in the ring other than the crossed elbows guard.He lacked head movement or any fancy foot work.He achieved a phenomenal boxing record by sheer brute clubbing power,and a heavy chin.That in itself is an amazing feat in pro HW boxing.

      If he was going to retire there would be a motivation to give it to Briggs if the fight was competitive. After this Briggs unified with Lewis which won won. If you let the lineage retire with Foreman you end that unification bout and you get the choatic 2000s situation a few years early.

      I know, and they always say if you want to take the belt off the champ, you need to show that you did it decisively. Did any of those judges watch Foreman doing most of the punching in the fight, following that ball of muscle around and bloodying his nose right up until the final bell, and truly think Briggs had taken the belt from the champ? I find that hard to believe. Maybe they just thought the young gun was a more plausible champion than the age defying Foreman, felt that it was ridiculous that Foreman was able to out score Briggs and didn't want it to be so.

    George Foreman is just class you can not buy. One of the hardest punchers boxing has ever seen. Devastating power in the golden era of the division... His humility after the fight in the ring, is so remarkable. Its not age, its just class, he didn't want to sour the moment for Briggs, when so many people were ready to tear down Brigg's performance, on HBO and in the crowd, George was there to uplift him.... & the performance, at 48, in the most dangerous of divisions, iconic.

    George was the most brutal, fearless, and powerful boxer I've ever seen. I was listening to
    him tell a story of him playing with his "pet Lion" in his yard. The Lion all of a sudden attacked
    his bother and was going to kill him. George automatically attacked the Lion, and took a big
    swing but just missed the lion's head. He said, that the Lion knew he meant business, and a
    fight ensued between George and the Lion. He said he "dispatched" the Lion, but did not say how,
    so I don't know if he used a gun, or a knife or what, but "very few" guys would have the guts to
    attack a full grown lion that weighs 500 lbs. George was fearless, and nothing intimidated him,
    and he never has a bodyguard,like many other fighters. I truly admire this mountain of a man,
    and also really a gentleman with a good sense of humour. We'll never see another like him.

      wild and far too dangerous. In this

      going to go -- him or the Lion. Luckily for

I grew up watching the best fights in boxing history on "The Wide World of Sports" e.g., Frazier, Foreman, Ali, Duran, Sugar Ray, Hearns, Hagler, Benítez, etc until Don King's corruption entered the ring-that's when things went from bad to worse.

    This was Foreman's LAST FIGHT! It was his last fight after decades of boxing! How many boxers do you know, perform this well at the age of 48 with one eye on retirement? Almost nobody... Not only did he perform well, it's quite obvious Foreman won this fight to almost anyone who watched it. This fight was fixed. It was fixed by Foreman and the boxing community. Foreman was ready to be done. Boxing was ready for him to be done. He merely wanted one last great performance to show the grand kids how bad ass, even at 48, he still was. Foreman landed harder and more often. How Briggs got the win, leaves a person scratching their head. Foreman's performance though... just.... Amazing!!!

    Big George is such an enigma. He is literally the opposite kind of fighter in career two as compared to career one. Young George was a wild swinging impatient, mean spirited raw machine of power. Older George is patient, calculated, throws mostly shorter punches, lots of jabs and a kind heart. Man I miss watching Big George. Such a unique great champion.

    George was a class act in this fight. The way he took defeat just put him right up there in the eyes of the masses. Shannon Briggs was declared the winner of the contest but George left the ring a true champ. Sometimes it's just the man and the moment.

    Correction to the comment at 4:45 “….considering Foreman had only ever been knocked out once, 23 years prior, by the great Mohammed Ali…”
    True, Big George hit the canvas but he was worn completely out and could barely stay on his feet. Ali knocked him down but even while he was lying there, his head was off the canvas and he was looking around. He wasn’t “knocked out”.
