RIP to Big George. I must say I didn't expect this cause he looked to be in good health

That's RJJ vs Ruiz when they were in there trying to discredit his win

Right! Thank you! They said Ruiz was a paper champ. George replied “everybody’s a paper champ”. I almost fell out of my chair. They got silent. George didn’t play with them dudes at all!

Yall know how Roy head is shaped? In the first Tarver fight George said “Roy’s got some swelling in the back of his head.” :dead: dude was just funny whether unintentional or not.

There were 4 men that intimidated fighters before the bell rang. Jack, Sonny, George, and Mike. There may be others but not on this level. These guys struck pure fear in hearts. I always admired George for retiring that first time.

RIP Big George....What a icon, what a legacy :wow:




^Dope doc right here...Easy watch not overdone and dope commentary especially from his son...

He lived a long stable life for someone who fought as many bouts as he did...Its clear from watching the doc and his other interviews taking that 10 yr break did wonders for him life and style wise...

He wasn’t the most objective but I loved him as a commentator on HBO. He wasn’t like Roy or Manny Steward, he used to get on merchant and lampley. He was also hilarious. One fight he was talking cash shyt to them when he said “yall help built up this fight now you gonna tear it down. Don’t do that!” I always wondered did HBO have him as their foil? Because it definitely wasn’t staged.

He was out there with his commentary, and hilarious

Trinidad-Vargas:

Lampley: Cathy Duva is in the audience, telling Vargas to take the full 5 minutes to recover from the low blow

Foreman: can you imagine a woman now is giving instructions?

DLH-Quartey

Merchant: Oscar isn’t doing much

Foreman: Not much is a lot for Oscar De La Hoya. Not much is a lot.

RJJ-Lucas

Foreman: look at Roy and his brow, totally different

Merchant: what do you mean by that George?

Foreman: Sometimes sweat falls pitifully, sometimes it just falls

Cotto-Torres

Lampley: Torres is overselling the low blows and making an act of it. Makes sense.

Foreman: it makes sense if you don’t have dignity

Probably my favorite, during one of Cathy Martin’s fights

watched both of these live on the hotbox :wow:



I remember when Holyfield fought Foreman, he said after a round ended, after Foreman landed a huge punch on him, Holyfield asked if all his teeth fell out :dead: :dead: :dead:


RIP to the Legend. Was so sad when I heard about his yesterday. I love this man
