One of the hardest punchers in boxing history! During Big George's comeback barely anyone gave him a chance to ever become a champion again but he proved his greatness in his heroic performance against Holyfield and then his title winning stunning KO against Michael Moorer. Big George past his prime but still one of the best! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
@@Bronco_Billy_Jack_Hills George foreman was never number 1 in the era. Ali got his greatness from beating Frazier in the trilogy which was his stylistic weakness. Norton a similar fighter to Frazier also beat Ali to further the point it was his stylistic weakness, but he still overcame it unlike anyone before him or after in the heavyweight division, and also for beating Sonny Liston who was known to be invincible during his era. Cleaning the division defeating 8/10 top ranked contenders, and the other 2 avoided him like the plague. Ali was in his prime in the 60s anyway not 70s. He was sloppy later on
More impressive than his punching power was his chin. I’ll never forget the sight of prime Holyfield unloading 20 punches on Foreman and foreman’s facial expression never changed. I’d never seen anything like it. Foreman was a monster.
@Pisces Mystic that doesn't take away from Foreman, if anything that should only raise Stewart's stock that he could shake Foreman more than the likes of Holyfield, Briggs, and Morrison.
@@30over3 And Foreman just kept coming mangled gore face and all. Reminds me of Marciano vs Charles where his nose was split in half hanging off and he refused to quit.
@Pisces Mystic there was rumours that Alex Stewart had something in his gloves, never proved of course but you think he punches harder the Holyfield or Moorer? You absolute turnip.
@@RikkyNelihan Exactly. Stewart was a decent puncher, but not of the calibre of other heavy punchers that he faced. And his face never mangled up like that.
What I really respect about comeback Foreman was just how much more patient and calm he became as a person. 70s Foreman was an angry and troubled man. He had nightmares after his loss to Ali and wanted to end it all. But you can see multiple times here that when Foreman knew a guy was finished, he didn’t throw a single extra punch, just like Ali when he knocked Foreman out. How many other fighters have that much restraint and respect? Man, could you even imagine a Foreman with 1970s physique and 1990s ring IQ, mental growth, additional defense (a long leverage guard plus a cross guard) and chin? THAT would be the most unstoppable heavyweight of all time!
Young foreman was a heel kind of figure and so was received by the public and he often got booed. When he came back he was a different man and he got a ton of cheers and in a lot of the old foreman fights you can see a big smile on his face when he gets introduced and cheered on. It's cool to see

Foreman at 45 would beat most modern heavyweights in the division today. (2023) A prime Foreman today would be world champion easily. The journey from a hated, surly, angry young man to a much loved grandfather of boxing has been great to see. George is a genuine legend.
George was feared in his prime but not beloved and appreciated, always in the shadow of Ali and it made him frustrated and unhappy. When Old George arrived he was cheered and loved, all the fighters wanted him because he became the money fight. He was smiling and beeming through it, doing publicity, appearing in shows. The public showed him proper love and at last he was truly happy.
You can see the shock in his opponents when his heavy blows landed on them. Their minds were scrambling to figure out, "what the hell did I just get bludgeoned with and what is happening to me? Should I quit?"
Dwight Muhammad Qawi quit because he "saw death". Evander Holyfield had to ask his corner if Foreman had knocked all his teeth out. Shannon Briggs said his vision went black and white from pain and he felt where he had been punched for weeks afterword. Foreman was a different beast as far as power goes.
Archie Moore's teachings really paid off for old George. That cross arm guard was a great way to deflect damage for man whose reflexes had slowed considerably.

What people overlook about George, especially past his prime is that his punches were so ACCURATE and precise. That walking uppercut against Gerry Cooney is, in my opinion, one of the best punches ever captured on film.
Maybe your best one yet! George looks so monstrous here and yet... oddly heroic. Adding that 5 sec bit with George walking in the woods, at peace, was a nice touch.
The music selection is really underrated hanza, those plodding beats help demonstrate how powerful and magnificent this lumbering colossus of a fighter was!

Don’t just believe me look at wilders resume he literally never fought anyone of any note just tomato cans. Fury has done the best with what this era offers but foreman came from the greatest era. And he hits like a freight train with finesse behind him not wilders wild technique feet crossed BS. Sorry man fury doesn’t have the experience. Also like the other guy said fury is now ducking uysk because he knows that man is too technical. 😂
He knew how to pace his offense more more efficiently too. He was not interested in ever getting rope-a-doped again. He also seemed to do better angular work
@@Ihavenoidea12342do you not understand how physics works? He was significantly heavier and still had good technique, thus he would undoubtedly hit harder. Only pseudo intellectuals would argue otherwise.
Man, Old George Foreman did the cross crab defense like his rival Ken Norton and he still had that knockout power along with his iron chin and more patient that impressed him. Comeback Foreman didn't suffered a knockdown even though he was staggered several times since his prime years being knocked out by Ali and knocked down by both Ron Lyle and Jimmy Young.
Young George Foreman was dangerous because he made every fight personal. Mature Big George was even more dangerous because it was just business and opponents were standing in the way of his paycheck.
He might've been past his prime physically, but at this stage his ring IQ and generalship was second to no one. Add that legendary punching power to that ring IQ, plus the character and commitment he had, makes him one of the best heavyweights of all time, even past his physical prime.
One of the most unreal fighters in history. Granite chin, unbelievable determination and unfathomable punching power. The walk off KO's are brutal. Truly one of the greatest to ever box. This is also a testament to how unbelievably durable Holyfield was. To stand toe to toe with Foreman... A mad man.
Old Big George is my favorite boxer in and out of the ring. He got wiser after he retired. He also got tougher and stronger. Holyfield had to ask his cornerman if he'd lost a tooth after getting hit by George's right. Getting hit by him gave people an out of body experience. Thanks for the great tribute video!
@@theslash9210jimmy young was a bum unfortunately George didn’t learn from hot Africa and repeated history. He flew into puerto rico the night before the young fight, didn’t train in that heat/humidity and punched himself out. Then again that’s when the second and more impressive half of his life began so maybe god really did have a plan for him all along…
Young George in his prime was an angry man that's why he lost fights not due to his boxing ability but due to his thinking if you could put a young George foreman body with an old George Foreman's brain he would have been unbeatable
Old Foreman beat Gerry Cooney,Dwight Qawi,Micheal Moorer,Shannon Briggs,Savarase,Alex Stewart,Pierre Coetzer,Bert Cooper...And He schools Evander Holyfield.He becomes lineal heavyweight champion in 45 years old.What a Legend.
I think foreman is underrated I think he's one of the more complete fighters I mean if you want to build a fighter from some kind of factory That's probably one of the blueprints you would use. There are several fights where that man just took a beating and still just kept throwing those hellacious clubbing tree trunk blows. If you haven't been lucky enough to see the TH-cam video where Foreman's beating the heavy bag and the dude behind it is hurting just holding it it's something to watch. I mean it's a full size heavy bag foreman is folding it in half with his punches and the dude behind it is still hurting. In boxing sense during his comeback campaign he was lucky to get the fights he got because none of those young guys wanted to risk fighting him. I don't know if y'all remember there is a while there where Foreman couldn't even book a fight as nobody wanted that. including Tyson.
I can't lift my ass up for training if I miss 2 months of exercise..mostly during monsoons How the hell does a man retire for 10 years and come back stronger in a sport where most guys retire by 40 is beyond me!
What a Legend! Impressive fighter on his comeback, his punches were fast but without seeing so... It was incredibly smart and definitely my favourite boxer in history 💪🏆🥊
The coolest, calmest boxer ever. Foreman learned from his past before his got back into boxing, and won the title back 20 years later like a juggernaut. Truly a great champion who had two primes.
One aspect of Old George that strikes me is his measuredness - so many KOs where you can see he stops and holds back the 2-3 extra punches that the Young George would've thrown. Maybe sounds corny but I feel it's George honouring Ali by not throwing the unnecessary blows once the man is already going down.
Can you imagine getting in the Ring thinking this Guy's to Big,Fat and Old to Box then he Hits you with one of those Bombs then you get your Teeth Knocked out😊
This is that 40-50 yr old old people strength people be talking about. It exists, trust me. They may not be as fast as they used to be but if they crack you, you going to sleep. Their strength is like a broken bone that’s been ossified and fortified😂😂
Geoerge foreman looks like a sweet humble soft guy. With an Insane crushing power and chin That would kill, Mike Tyson. This guy Is a Juggernaut in the Rung
That’s cause during their first fight there was a lot of shady stuff that went down. And Ali knew he couldn’t beat George Foreman twice without “help”.
@@bossplayermfs5972 No, Ali won the Rumble in the Jungle fair and Square. Foreman lost the fight that would have given him a title shot and then retired. But yes, I think if Foreman had beat Jimmy Young and gotten his second crack at Ali he would have won; Ali was fading fast by the late 70's and another war with Foreman would have gone very badly for him.
@@hansm.henrich2140 Big George Foreman said that he drinking water before the fight had medicine in it. Go watch the video here on TH-cam called “Rumble In The Jungle Fixed?” Here it from Big George Foreman himself.
I would’ve rather been in the ring with the younger foreman depending on the day tbh. Cause i feel like old foreman definitely hit harder with that old brute strength that most people get in their 40s and 50s
Anyone who stands in front of Foreman gets KO'd. It doesn't matter what jaw you have. Moorer got his tactics wrong in the last couple of rounds and did this. Foreman never got beat by anyone who did this.

Can you imagine getting in the Ring thinking this Guy's to Big,Fat and Old to Box then he Hits you with one of those Bombs then you get your Teeth Knocked out😊
Once could argue his 40's WAS his prime
Athletically it certainly wasn't.
Hand speed goes but punching power is forever.
This is that 40-50 yr old old people strength people be talking about. It exists, trust me. They may not be as fast as they used to be but if they crack you, you going to sleep. Their strength is like a broken bone that’s been ossified and fortified😂😂
Geoerge foreman looks like a sweet humble soft guy. With an Insane crushing power and chin That would kill, Mike Tyson. This guy Is a Juggernaut in the Rung
King of Boxen 🥊🥊🥊
Ali had a rematch with Frazier, Norton and even Spinks.
But he never gave Foreman his rematch. That says everything about this monster.
That’s cause during their first fight there was a lot of shady stuff that went down. And Ali knew he couldn’t beat George Foreman twice without “help”.
@@bossplayermfs5972 No, Ali won the Rumble in the Jungle fair and Square.
Foreman lost the fight that would have given him a title shot and then retired.
But yes, I think if Foreman had beat Jimmy Young and gotten his second crack at Ali he would have won; Ali was fading fast by the late 70's and another war with Foreman would have gone very badly for him.
@@hansm.henrich2140 Big George Foreman said that he drinking water before the fight had medicine in it. Go watch the video here on TH-cam called “Rumble In The Jungle Fixed?” Here it from Big George Foreman himself.
@@bossplayermfs5972 bullshit Foreman said he didn't want it in his own mouth. Don't talk about things you have zero knowledge about.
@@bossplayermfs5972 Foreman lost fair and square stop being a baby and a hater making up bullshit scenarios in your own head.
That Coetzer fight was f ing crazy!
He was a more violent version of no mas 😂.
I would’ve rather been in the ring with the younger foreman depending on the day tbh. Cause i feel like old foreman definitely hit harder with that old brute strength that most people get in their 40s and 50s
Past his prime but still formidable as F
GOAT legend iconic
George was a different breed 😂
Congrats on the 98 bro 👍✌️
So close to the 100!
@@hanzagod with everything you’ve put out over the years bro you’ll be there in no time.👍✌️
Second hardest hitter ever, second most badass boxer and the best boxer ever after Ali and a few others maybe
We should probably give glass-jawed Michael Moorer credit for lasting as long as he did against Big George and scoring very impressively.
Anyone who stands in front of Foreman gets KO'd. It doesn't matter what jaw you have. Moorer got his tactics wrong in the last couple of rounds and did this. Foreman never got beat by anyone who did this.
