When it comes to the world's heavyweight boxing champions, most boxing fans first think of Tyson, Lewis and Holyfield, and then boxing champions Ali, Fraser and others. These are all well-known legendary superstars, all of which have been beaten down by iron fists. Today's editor is going to talk about George Foreman, who is known as the "devil". This 192 cm tall American strong man, iron fist man.
Foreman is famous for his infinity, and many people compare him to Tyson. Foreman was born with divine powers, and once carried a heifer of more than 400 pounds, which most boxers could not do. Today's focus is on his jungle battle with Ali. Because there are always netizens who are relishing this game, one netizen said that he has watched Ali and Foreman fight 4 times, and always feels that Foreman is going to win the game, how can he suddenly lose? Foreman had never played such a tough game.
In October 1974, Foreman was the king of wbc/wb boxing at the time, with a record of 40 total victories, and was regarded as a god-like figure, but was defeated by Ali for 8 rounds. Indeed, many people thought the game was weird, because Foreman had played very aggressively before, and the heavy punches kept bombarding Ali's body and head, and Ali was almost knocked out of the boxing ring. Who would have expected that Ali staged a Jedi counterattack in the eighth round, knocking out the exhausted Foreman combination punch, when Foreman seemed to be drugged, his limbs were weak, his body was weak, and he could no longer continue the game.
More than 43 years later, Foreman himself recalls the game and still finds it a little difficult to understand. He said: "I've watched this big fight 100 times, and every time I think I'm going to ko him, but in the end I still lose. That's what Foreman really thinks. In an interview, Foreman said he had been drugged before the match, resulting in weakness in throwing. Later, he also asked for a second war, but Ali did not agree. Therefore, this game has also been speculated and debated by people, and Foreman's heart, of course, is not obedient to Ali.
After many years, Foreman is still grumpy, especially when the boxing fans discuss, Foreman is more enthusiastic, but Ali is long gone, revenge is impossible. However, there is a fact that Foreman once called Tyson, who had just been released from prison, and as a result, Tyson's coach said that it was better not to let Tyson and Foreman fight, or to avoid it, and Tyson himself acquiesced. It shows that Tyson is also afraid of Foreman in his heart.
Foreman's heavy punches, fight resistance, physical fitness and physique are incomparable to Tyson, some people say that Tyson is very strong, Foreman is stronger, Tyson's resistance is generally in the first few rounds, remember Tyson was Douglas, Hollyfield Ko scene? The further Tyson went, the more he finished, and Fuhrman's staying power became stronger. Unfortunately, we didn't see this super duel at the peak of the two.
