The KO of Cooney was more like an execution. George got wobbled and then he decided OK time to get serious. He annihilated Frazier, Ken Norton and then there was that incredible slugfest with Ron Lyle. Punches flying, bodies hitting the canvas and getting up. Just crazy.. As Howard Cosell said, " what an incredible fight utterly without boxing skills" I'm thoroughly convinced he would have beat Ali in a rematch.
I remember Big George after the fight with Frazier saying he was getting worried because Frazier kept getting up!
A true "heavy handed" heavyweight, he hurt people badly.

thanks to liston ali was prepared for foreman, frazier wasn't because he never faced a true heavyweight puncher before. he looked really helpless, poor frazier.
Foreman got robbed badly against Briggs but yet when people discuss robberies on this site, that fight isn't mentioned.
schulz was robbed too, but i guess they thought he is a bum and doesn't deserve to become world champion.

They also never mention Hearns vs Leonard 2.
Thanks for that, I enjoyed watching it.
Foreman was such a beast, it's crazy what he did in his comeback too, 2 generations of heavyweights brutalised. Still can't believe he KO'ed Moorer, we'll never see that happen again.
