George Foreman Career one
I was always impressed by Big George Foreman. The humble man from a quiet upbringing rose through the ranks taking no prisoners. Finally he was to get his chance against the Champion Joe Frazier.
Frazier was the big favorite even though Foreman had 25 knockouts in 4 rounds or less. I heard Foreman was very nervous the day of the fight. But when the fight started he just let his hands fly and he destroyed a heavyweight great on that night. I believe there only a couple heavyweights in the history of boxing that might have survived a fight with George Foreman that night. And even though he had just destroyed the best heavyweight on the planet, he was still as humble as ever.
