its a shame george never had that period where his boxing skills and his physical abilities were in sync....make no mistake dude knew basic boxing and he was well schooled...young george threw with murderous intentions but he was wild and didnt pace himself well...thats what did him in against Ali and Jimmy Young...shyt almost did him in against Ron Lyle..old george was 10x the boxer and a lot more patient but his fitness was not where it needed to be at times on top of age..esp post holyfield fight which led to the dubious decisions (stewart, schultz, savarese)

Foreman should have never been beat but he lacked in something's, fixable things.

crazy thing is i believe 97 Foreman was better than 92-95 Foremann

yeah he got outboxed by Stewart (early knockdowns saved him), Moorer (before George split his lip) and Schulz (robbery)

but i thought he swept most rounds in the 2nd half of the Savarese fight (had it 115-112 Foreman) and clearly beat Briggs
