George Foreman acting crazy

[lefthook2daliva]

God love him, Big George Foreman doesn't just act crazy. He is crazy. Only a crazy man would name his sons George 1,2,3,etc.

But he's rich too. So is he crazy like a fox?

bump this awesome vid

Well the video skips much actually.

Foreman was able to bomb the first few out of there quickly but had trouble with 1 or 2 of the others and just got the ref to stop those. So boxing-wise it backfired as he tired. When this was promoted to help show that he was a new man and wouldn't tire out now.

Dubbed The Toronto Five, this was merely a circus act and surely Foreman wasn't gullible enough to believe that defeating five sub-par fighters would lead to an eventual Ali rematch. As was mentioned previously, we cannot understate the mental-collapse suffered by Foreman due to his loss to Ali. Self-admittedly, he became an introvert and sunk into deep-depression. The loss to Ali, his eventual mental issues, the Toronto charade, his brutal war with Lyle and his subsequent loss to Young made him question his stamina, chin, heart and eventual worth in the game.

that was bad ass

[shogunn]

haha! george was the man. No one would be able to get away with a quarter of what they did that night compared to today.

Was that supposed to be a buildup for a rematch with Ali? I wanna see the whole thing in its entirety. I liked the fighting off the clock, george really was crazy back then.

[Phil Ivey]

LOL that was hilarious.

Yes indeed. Very few fighters, if any, would have the galls to even think about pulling off such a risky stunt.

Foreman definitely believed he should have received a rematch against Ali, but fighting five sub-par fighters in an obvious circus doesn't really translate well into a substantive claim at warranting a rematch. Some say Foreman should have received a rematch after he defeated Lyle & Frazier, but Ali was nearing the end of his career and wasn't exactly running away from challenges himself, he fought Young, who eventually went on to defeat Big George, he also fought Norton & Frazier for the 3rd time and the heavy hitter Shavers. Foreman had become out of contention at that point.

Vitali Klitschko during a kickboxing tournament once knocked out 7 fighters in one day. Vitali Klitschko would have beat all 5 of those bums and George Foreman, then beat up half the Kiev city council, read a book, play some chess, spar with Wlad, and then eat lunch.
