    Articles written about ATGs bring about nostalgia and the finest era of boxing.

      Norton always froze like a deer in the headlights against big punchers. Foreman, Shavers, Cooney. Zero heart, much like Tin Man Lennox.

          Big George was no joke
          I do believe he could have beaten Ali, obviously with a different fight plan, but he really did have the tools for it
          Thoroughly enjoyed the movie, even with some of the fiction

              Lennox fought massive punchers like Tua,Briggs,Bruno,Ruddock and Mercer and beat them all. And even the guys he did get knocked out by he came back and stopped them as well

                He got a gift against Mercer. Was Morrison ever really that good? He got Razor after Mike chewed on him a little. Bruno was a stiff. I don't think he ever fought Briggs as a professional. Briggs was a stiff too.

                  I would have loved to have seen Prime George vs The Klits, Mike, Wilder, Ike

                    It wasn't easy, other monsters walked the earth. Ron Lyle vs George was earthquakes and aftershocks. RIP.
