As a fighter I always rooted against him. Couldn't stand Pacheco kissing his ass during every broadcast. Sometimes I would turn the sound off. Cosell was bad but at least I got the joke
His early years were remarkable and with a style never seen in the Heavyweight division he took the world over. However like everything else, other fighters adapt and change, and father time always wins in the end.
His waning years were horrible. All his fights were going the distance and were downright boring. Also in 3 fights he was handed victories, Jimmy Young, Ken Norton and E. Shavers.
Frazier, Norton and Ali gone. Long live George Foreman, the last of the great ones.
R.I.P.
My Favs. are Dwight Braxton (Qwaui), Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler.
