"kindly old george" ? george might be old, but your analysis of 1912 and bareknuckles misses the mark. george is very much about modern boxing and promotion, every nuance of sport, in fact. today's sport. that's why he's on the show. if he was as you've portrayed, he'd be in a rocking chair somewhere and guys like jim lampley would not be holding a microphone in front of his face asking for his thoughts. and you've said as much yourself, 5. you've often remarked about foreman's astute observations. don't suddenly ridicule him simply because he thinks your favorite fighter is ducking a fight and is going to lose if he does get it. that doesn't make sense."ROFL - GMAMFB. Foreman saying that makes it so?" saying something makes it so. (no more than you calling mike tyson "a ring monster" makes him one.) but we do tend to quote boxing people here on this thread to add validity to a position. and i wasn't quoting the ring announcer, or a cornerman, i was quoting george foreman. there's considerable ring savvy there, much more than you are caring to admit.
