    He was a bit 1 dimensional before his 10 year retirement, he was a little more versatile when he came back though, he was also much more relaxed and smarter in his come back years.

          I think he was a little one dimensional, he was just extremely good at that one dimension. Sometimes that can be enough.

              one dimensional or not. he was an awesome prizefighter in his prime.

              people make one dimensional seem like it's the end of the world. some of the greats are one dimensional. just depends on how good you are in that one dimension.

                Foreman had an triphammer jab so technically he could outbox his opponents if he wanted to... but he wanted to KO his opponents instead.

                    When you hurt everyone you hit, it is easy to think you are invincible. George paid the price for that against Ali.
