    just watched an old george foreman fight..

    and my god larry merchent and jim lampely were incredibly disrespectful to george. it was his fight before he fought holyfield i believe. larry merchant referred to foreman as "a joke", his comeback as his "worst nightmare", and the worst boxing can offer. They were talking about how old he was, and how he should be in a rocking chair, and he was 41! how many guys fight successfully past 40 now that its common place. wow times change. Then when lampley asked why he thinks the crowd seemed to cheer Foreman so much he said it was because "everyone likes a jolly fat man". It was just one smarmy comment after another. Foreman didnt look in bad shape whatsoever. He looked more fit and solid then say, Arreola on his best night. they went on and on with these fat jokes about how his robe was so big it could probably cover Albania. Then he ends up knocking the guy out in 2 rounds, way faster then Holyfield knocked him out not too long before, and their comment on the guy who lost is "well thats what rodriguez was here for" "yeah, he did his job, he lost" and im just going what tha hell are they talking about? not a big deal or anything but total disrespect to the sport of boxing and the two fighters that got into the ring. i really hope they've learned alot since then, even tho they werent exactly rookies in 1990. kinda funny that years later they had to put him over for doing exactly what he said and winning a heavyweight title

        Are you really a female? Anyways, yeah Merchant was an ass like always but it was a different era and Foreman & Nolan Ryan were like the only 2 old guys doing **** back then. It shows you how much of a beast that Georger was though, I would pick that old version over the Klit brothers
