Hall of Fame Promoter Frank Warren is the latest to remember the great George Foreman following his death.
Former passed away at 76-years-old and has caused an eruption of respect, grief and prayers for him and his loved ones all over the world this weekend.
Speaking to Talk Sport Frank Warren noted:
“George Foreman was one of the iconic names in heavyweight boxing—in all of boxing. You just mentioned his record—phenomenal. He did it at every level: won the Olympic Games in 1968, turned professional, and beat Joe Frazier, another great fighter. In the fight where he won the world title, he destroyed him. It was the most unbelievable two rounds of a fight I’ve ever seen, with the shots he was throwing.”
He certainly did, absolutely lifted Frazier off the ground literally with an uppercut at one point.
Going into that fight too many were tipping Frazier to win at the time.
