Heavyweight Division Circa 1997

I was surfing through some youtube boxing videos and I found this nice little hw scrap. This was George Foreman's second to last fight against a very game Lou Savarese. For everyone who's complaining about the hw division, here's the videos:

There have been some good fighters/fights in the modern era, unfortunatley there have also been the klitschko brothers.

Foreman turned into a bit of a sideshow after he vacated the titles.

I thought he won the Briggs fight, it's also on youtube.

He was a very fan friendly fighter to watch I thought. I loved the way he arm punched and could hurt you with a jab.

It's a pity he never fought Holmes.

It's a pity he never fought Holmes.

Holmes came very close to beating McCall until he ran out of gas. It would've been funny to see two 40+ year olds unifying the heavyweight division.

A 1978 fight between prime Holmes and Foreman would've been great if not for Foreman losing his motivation and retiring from boxing.

When i was a kid I thought Foreman winnin the title back was gonna set up a big fight between he and Mike for the crown when Mike got outta jail. Too bad that one never happened.
