One of the things I like about george is his use of old grappling techniques from the older generations of boxing. That forward guard to catch punches, using the hands to manipulate the opponent's position. Only better grappler in boxing was duran
searchoverload8 agree
searchoverload8. Exactly, the old techniques knocked fighters off balance, which gave you more time to land power punches.
Roy Jones Jr used that technique as well I believe. Not for beginners!
His offense was basic as fuck but worked perfectly. Would blind you with that giant Bear paw and wave it Infront of your face and then club you with the right. One of my favourite ever fighters
Klitschko as well is up there. Easterners always produce the best wrestlers.
Foreman doesnt get enough credit for his boxing skills. He wasn't just a big puncher
Of course but let's face it, without his incredible punching power, he would have remained a good fighter, but not one of the best ever.
@@emzid5105 well isnt that just any athlete if you take away their best attribute?
@@Mrgood189 you're right bro. I just meant to say that not many people would say that George really has great skills without his devastating punch.
@@emzid5105 ...no, what you are saying is what appears at a first observation but in reality, if you look closely, his shots enter, even though they are slow, because he prepares the gap with feints or by unbalancing his opponent, and it is this is its greatest dowry... not power, with that you wouldn't do anything without having an opening to pass through.
He creates a pass using his brain and only then does the power of the shot come into play.
He's one of the smartest and most strategic boxers ever, only that you can only perceive him by analyzing him in slow motion.
@@micromymario23 Yes i agree. The more i watch his fight, the more i can notice how much his skills are underrated. I also noticed that he had deceptive handspeed, espcially the left jab.
Luv this, finally some footage of Big George training, what a legend.
It's ironic how they call him "Big george when really he was just the same size as Ali", I'm a fan of "Big George btw"
George was a bigger, stronger man with heavier bone density and power. They were about the same height, that's about it. Ali was a huge guy himself though at 6'3.
Chris Warren foreman was later listed at 6'4
george was/is definitely 6'4
Chris Warren rumble in the jungle both foreman and ali measured 6'3. could have sworn ive seen other fights where he was listed 6'4. but hell who knows
My favourite heavyweight, Big George!! Chin of steel with dynamite in both hands.
This is gold! I always loved how well George used frames, stops, posts, leverage blocks, etc. getting to see him work his active guards in a relaxed, playful setting is fantastic!
Old school is the best school.
❤ oldies sports & athletes greatest ever
The sparing partners is doing a great job working George.
That is Cookie Wallace
@@bbq878 ken norton was way more solid
@@titsmcgee7800 possible earlier in his career?
It's crazy how he's possibly the hardest hitter of all time, yet seems such a nice guy outside the ring
shavers is the hardest hitter, leroy cadwell, ali and lyle who fought both shavers and foreman all said that shavers punch harder,but george is a much better boxer
@Lamont Wilson lookin for attention u sound like a fool follower blockin Me dont work in person fake controller ill just come back fool block me for truth u weird u the troll
make no sense so everybody lookin for attention sense they comment thats why comments is open
@Lamont Wilson An interviewer asked Muhammad who was the hardest puncher he ever faced and Ali replied "A fella named Earnie Shavers, he hit me so hard he woke my kin folk in Africa". Stop being such a keyboard warrior you deluded weirdo.
@Lev _ nobody said it was black and white. But if this was a race to see who hit the hardest Foreman is the number one horse. Good punchers aren't made, and no not every heavyweight can punch hard, been countless heavyweights with a poor ko record. Punchers are born. How can you say the man can't punch after what he did to Frazier? Not once but twice, who apart from Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson is one of the best, slickest heavyweights of all time. Shavers could bang, but wasn't on foremans level, Ron Lyle could punch, but not as hard or as nasty as George.
Foreman, Wilder, Liston, Tyson.
My opinion of course
@@chriswade9871 Take Wilder out of there, that overrated twerking bum. Shavers power makes Wilder look like a toddler.
This is what I don’t see today is boxers that are fighting their own way. They seem to be going by the book but like Rocky George is doing what feels comfortable and effective for him. Fluid and relaxed,ready to fire back at will and making it seem effortless.
Love how hes not even trying to hurt him yet his punches still sound like bombs
yea its not impressive
@@cmoneytheman boi gtfo yo ass tweaking let him hit you with one of them not impressive punches bet it turn yo lil fragile body ass to dust #fuchetaelmbout😂
@@deontesampson1993 😂😂😂😂 on stone
@@cmoneytheman shut the fuck up. Seriously get a grip lmao.
@@oldschoolboxing6048 shut the fuck up Seriously get a grip lmao
Foreman has some of the most underrated boxing skills ever. Wish he had boxed vs Ali a second time
He did
@@HeriB1994 no he didnt
@@cmoneytheman oh i re read (2nd time). You're right
I study foreman’s technique, he enjoys catching punches and parrying, he likes to apply pressure by taking and catching punches
possibly the most patient fighter I have ever seen in any combat sport. He often gets noted for his power, but he was also a very talented fighter. A lot of people forget that Archie Moore helped bring him up as a fighter and were close back in the day and it shows by the way he fought and is sparring here. smooth, calm, not rushing into the action, picking shots, his footwork for a big man that threw with exceptional power is phenomenal, his pivoting and positioning off the jab is just amazing if you pay attention closely... not too many big strong power punchers can move like that. Definitely a top-tier great, his comeback, his years in his prime all of it.... his greatness as a fighter is undeniable.
4:13 beutyful by george
Watched this 100 times and I’m still mesmerized
Foreman was a beast! And nice footwork. Who would of thought
Foreman was an incredible boxer. This is a great video
Foreman looked like he had good footwork and defense in this sparring session something you never saw when he actually fought in his earlier career when he would just step forward and swing
Christopher Earl there would be more pressure in his professional fights then sparring. He would be more relaxed and trying things out in sparring but in the actual fight he probably wouldn't want to risk anything and just go for the kill
Christopher Earl you are incorrect.
Bruce Lee well??? How is he incorrect lol. Dont just say that and not back it up lol
Dat Boi George Foreman had really underrated boxing skills
Big George didn't need defense because his chin was made out of steel.
This is GOLD!
Very interesting footage!
1:42 already would be the first knockdown. never duck george :)
Look at that head movement
Foreman could’ve played OLB he big ash 😂😂😂💯
George,
Was a very good boxer, had a tremendous chin and packed a knockout punch. Early on very committed to training.
Proper sparring not bullying the sparring partner but leaning technique
Tru sparring right here folks...Big George working on weaknesses such as defense head movement....he never fought like that though ...he had a cast iron Chin...and would just annihilate his opponents......he was pretty technical IMHO 😎
Terry Jackson. He would push his opponent away, instead of using head movement. Ali anticipated this technique by using his over hand counter punch.
He never fought like this in his real fights because as soon as bell rang he was looking for KO
@@gv105468 no he wasnt
cmoneytheman yes he was
@@cmoneytheman yes he was
Dick Sadler gets my award for bravery. Christ, Foreman was rattling his brains with a big padded bag protecting him. Can you imagine how Quawi and Bert Cooper must've felt when they took a body shot? Cooper flew sideways about 3 feet when GF unloaded a hook to his side. Check it out. It's here somewhere.....
4:31 WOW, He's a genius..always pulls a rabbit out of his hat.
all the love from me. great to watch and learn from this sparring
Great great sparring
this is gold
Any footage of him sparring with sonny liston? Foreman always threw some awkwards punches, if he worked more on speed and making the punches more straight, he would have those knockouts earlier
Don't you realize that goerge foreman isn't actualy fighting him ? He is learning his deffense, if he would've gone wild on him it would take only 10 seconds to get his sparring partner down. And you aren't allowed to get your sparring partner KO in your club anyways.
yes I know, but tell that to tyson and "liston", lol
I guy I know had footage of Foreman sparring Liston on VHS, the quality was very bad. I haven't found any footage of Liston sparring Foreman on youtube:(
President Oso Can you get the guy to post the footage
@@cremate9051 not only that guy's simply wouldn't want to spar with them if he was to KO them.
I wasn't even born lol foreman Tyson listoon best heavyweights with power
George fights exactly like a bigger version of Sandy Saddler.
Sandy was his trainer
You mean Adam Sandler?
4:12 those would put me in a hospital
the "FRANCIS NGANNOU of the 70's"
Wtf foreman looked like he never threw a punch with more then like 10-25% power and yet they still sounded like a shotgun. Unreal
XxShindouxX agree
He arm punched that's why.
@@mrHoppedupford not impressive
@@cmoneytheman what's not impressive?
@@mrHoppedupford the punches troll
Foreman at this time....don't nobody wanna fight him at his prime like this. Real Monster
stop
gv105468. He was a dangerous boxer.
@@davonbenson4361 trolling bad
@what. nbba u use the word troll to win arguements just stop
Gentle knight
Joshua?Usyk?GEORGE FOREMAN TOP LVL
If Ali beat Foreman by out witting him ...then surely he would come up with a plan to beat a prime Tyson....Ali was way to smart with
boxing knowledge...Tyson had the training and skillset but it's called the sweet science and Ali was a professor...Ali hands down...only young people who don't know boxing would claim Tyson as Victor....😎🇺🇸
Manowa Perez If George Foreman couldn't take Ali on the ropes, I doubt that Tyson could.
blebetach _ Well put!!! My point exactly...I don't care who his trainer is and by the way I've been a student of this wester martial art for a long time and no matter what anybody says ......Ali would have found a way..... period 13 rounds in Manila with water locked gloves ....get real....Tyson would be toast.... guys don't come like Ali Holmes Foreman Frazier Shavers and Norton 🇺🇸👊😎
Terry Jackson Tyson was a very smart boxer aswell. I feel he was smarter then anyone Ali fought. Obviously his boxing iq lessened post Rooney and he just turned into throwing haymakers and always going for the knockout and not actually boxing. But a prime Tyson in my opinion beats Ali. Tyson was just too smart, too fast, too powerful. He's the fastest heavyweight in history.
Terry Jackson so are saying mike tyson was not a very intelligent fighter then?
Every one telling tyson who dont know about boxing
Tyson cant win against ali
But for me if anyone beat ali it definitely forman tyson want to punch 6 or 10 combo to finish but forman just need 1
Watch how he destroyes a 100 pound piwer bag
I don’t mind boxing like George Foreman
Simple, but Effective
If you're tall and have a good reach it certainly helps
@@fredwr not always he got outboxed and would easy by 90s or now
Wow..
Is that Stan Ward sparring big George?
Who is George sparring with here? It looks like Ken Norton.
No Kenny was even bigger than George and trained and sparred out of San Diego and was Joe Frazier's sparring partner when this was filmed.
No, Norton was not bigger than Foreman. They were about the same size, and height. Watch their fight. But watch fast, because it lasted less than 6 minutes
He's just playing
is that Ken Norton
Cookie Wallace
Tyson in his prime before cus died and don King got involved would have knocked both of them out in one round
Interesting style, not common
why is george for not even hitting him so hard
4:50.
So what is here?
@@ГлебДмитриевич-в3н fk all 🤣🤣🤣
@@ГлебДмитриевич-в3н. That’s a weird response.
Is that Liston are what
Cookie Wallace
The noise when George hits his partner is amazing
yea but his punches look bad
You can't persuade me to be a Mr. Foreman's sparring partner.... No.. just no
YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT IN MODERN BOXING, EVEN AT THE WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION. BIG GEORGE, A CLAMSY GUY, IF YOU COMPARE HIM WITH ALI OR FRAZIER, SEEMS TO BE MORE DESTEROUS, THAN DE LA HOYA OR MOSLEY.
Idiot.
1
boom
He had a lot of very bad habits
2
Such an ugly slow clubbing style. But so much power
georgie's punches hurt even if these were not thrown hard.. as holyfield said once, fighting george is like fighting a brick wall.. the man cannot be moved... and when you want to attack him you just hit the wall head first.. even slap punches are very heavy...
Big George was the Francis Ngannou of the 1970's
4:40.
And?
