George Foreman, the walking tank. Insanely tough, insanely strong, Holyfield fought a great fight because he was fighting for his life against a real life monster.
@@fooball24H Freak of nature ay, he would have dominated the 90's if you made him even just 10 years younger (from 45-35) he'd have that bit of extra fitness and speed, would have caught Holyfield and ate him for lunch.
No doubt about it. His will and determination would have beat anyone else that night except for a Great in his Prime Holyfield. He is like a brick wall.
Probably the toughest heavyweight of all time. Not my favourite and stylistically not the best. But this just shows how tough he was, tommy morrison and holyfield literally gave everything they had to beat him and not once did he ever hit the deck and he was in his 40s
hmm...I don't see young Foreman able to physically bully Holyfield like he did Frazier. Holyfield was only a half inch shorter than Foreman and an absolute physical specimen... A match between the young foreman and a prime Holyfield would probably be more competitive, but only because Foreman would have increased speed and cardio ... but otherwise they would be mostly the same size. Holyfield was much more explosive and athletic than young Foreman ever was, so maybe the result be the same. Just my opinion.
Foreman at 44 fighting 12 rounds , this dude was next level. Holyfield was at his prime 28 years old and couldn’t beat the old man even after throwing Lots of bombs.
@@nicklasandersson690 dude doesnt change the fact that one was already an old man at 44 and the other was in his prime young years 28. All thode famous elbows COULDNT knock out Foreman. Pathetic.
@@fooball24H pathetic? Yeah well at least he dared to meet him,i guess Lewis Bowe Tyson was even moore pathetic since they didnt even dare to fight Foreman....and all others that didnt k.o Foreman was pathetic,yeap sounds about right,you know zero about boxing thats for sure 👍😃
@@nicklasandersson690 not being able to knock out an old 44 years old boxer when you are still in your physical prime at 28 is pathetic. And Holyfield was also a professional boxer not an amateur taking up on the challenge.
@@fooball24H yeah well,again no one else did it either,and others who tried was natural heawyweights,Holyfield wasnt.and still the other 3 big stars of the 90s didnt even dare to try it.

Not to descredit Foreman,but Holyfield was a big k.o puncher at heawyweight. It amazes me moore that Holyfield takes Foremans best punches,no other from the 90s would have done that.
some dudes just have natural strength that comes from DNA and not the gym: think Samoans or someone like Mark Henry. I'd hate to ever fight a guy, skilled or not, built like that.
That last punch rocked holyfield so hard that he thought that all his teeth had fallen out. He clinched foreman until the fight ended so he wouldn't get knocked out.
How the heck did either man absorb that many clean punches? They left it all in the ring that night. Wow! Foreman still has his speech intact, but Holyfield's damage from too many wars is more evident. Both are true champions.
Foreman did not win. But he shook the whole boxing world. To fight an enormously courages and strong man like Holyfield toe to toe like this, needs to be more than a hevy weight boxer with punching power
That's because holyfield cheated to beat Mike that's why Tyson did Justice to that disgraceful cheater in the rematch holyfield is a shame to boxing he doesn't even count as a legit fighter
i had never seen this before its one of those things that seems impossible to fight like george did at that age he must of been one of the all time greats.
For the life of me I don’t know how George stayed up !! We went down by Ali and was younger and stronger. Holyfield hit him and kept Hitting him. One of the greatest fights ever. These fighters wouldn’t last against Holyfield
George foreman.. this great man must have a skin of a rhino that a even bullet can't penetrate. Those punch were devastating and still couldn't take down the big George that too at 42years age. Nothing but respect to this legend.

Personally, I think Evander is much better than he is given credit for. If he wanted to, he coulda fought like a bitch, and grabbed 300 times a fight, like 99% of pro boxers do, but he was going in the ring to stand in front of you, man to man, and the best man was going to leave on his feet.
Its a very underated effort by Holyfield,just look on all casual comments here. Foreman was a big heawyweight with insane power,Holyfield was a cruiser that didnt take the power up to heawyweight,its moore strange that Holyfield still stands after round 12 then it is that Foreman does,no one knocked Foreman so that a cruiser dont isnt strange at all. And remember out of the 90s biggest stars in Holyfield Lewis Bowe Tyson it was ONLY Evander that dared to take a dance with old George...the other 3 just didnt dare,and their fans can try to have as many exuses they want for that 👍
This fight is incontrovertible evidence that heavyweight boxing champions in the 1970s would beat champions in same weight class from 1990s to the present time.
What people don't understand that Holyfield is a blown up heavyweight. He was really always a cruiserweight. When he met real heavyweights like Bowe and Lewis, it was difficult for him to deal with. When he fought Mike, Mike was finished. This is why he couldn't hurt Foreman.
A fighter from the Muhammad Ali era fighting the next generation of young fighters. Ali might have fought if he had no Parkinson. George Foreman regaining world title is phenomenon and I would consider him the Greatest. His loss to GOAT was unfortunate though.
@@sageantone7291 actually speaking to an Ali fan without much knowledge makes you look stupid! I've heard foreman himself say he just didn't want to fight Ali. Get your facts right
Boxing has always been exciting to me but there comes a point when 2 beings are beating the living hell out of the other where to me it becomes not only uncomfortable to witness but absolutely senseless. Especially when some of these men have so much to offer the world. But hey I guess that’s boxing.
No he wouldn't. Foreman himself admitted that he was overal better boxer when he came back. Smarter and more experienced. Sure, young foreman was more physically capable but he was also impatient, he would rush for ko but wouldn't score one against Holyfield, eventually gas himself and end up the same he did against Ali.
Holyfield in his prime against a prime Foreman… Holyfield would get destroyed hands down… the Foreman who put down Joe Frazier would put down Holyfield
Holyfield hit Foreman with every ounce of strength and Forman soaked it up like a sponge. Respect.
George Foreman, the walking tank. Insanely tough, insanely strong, Holyfield fought a great fight because he was fighting for his life against a real life monster.
For real dude Holyfield was throwing bombs non stop on him and Foreman just keep walking towards him. Wtf lol.
@@fooball24H Freak of nature ay, he would have dominated the 90's if you made him even just 10 years younger (from 45-35) he'd have that bit of extra fitness and speed, would have caught Holyfield and ate him for lunch.
Al Mackay didn’t like Holyfield throwing elbows non stop at him though. Dirty boxing.
Holyfield was hearing raid boss music the entire fight
Al Mckay Foreman would have dominated 80s to if he hadnt retired.
In this fight, Foreman clearly shows that he's one of the best heavyweights in history
His composure and instincts from a lifetime of boxing are amazing. He is slow at this age but still a beast.
No doubt about it. His will and determination would have beat anyone else that night except for a Great in his Prime Holyfield. He is like a brick wall.
I thought the same, Foreman was a fucking human tank dude, his strength is simply impressive.
Probably the toughest heavyweight of all time. Not my favourite and stylistically not the best. But this just shows how tough he was, tommy morrison and holyfield literally gave everything they had to beat him and not once did he ever hit the deck and he was in his 40s
@@Joshua-jd1de it’s even more impressive that George was one of the only boxers that didn’t take drugs like steroids
What a legend 42 years old. Only one KO from Muhammed Ali.
This is a classic fight underrated
For about 42 years old, Foreman is still very strong ... if Holyfield met Foreman when he was young, his fate would be like Joe Frazier
Goku is cool
I would agree
really cmon holyfield too smart for that

Forman, not known for his speed, would have landed several more punishing blows against Holyfield if he were younger.

George forman is a real gentleman.Who let's his fists do the talking.
George foreman is a tank those punches from holyfield will knock anyone out.
If not kill the average person
Strongest hefty foreman n his fore arms

This was a great fight! Big George was 42 here!
One of the greatest chins in the history of the sport.. Just unreal how tough and durable big George was in the ring
Bro the background theme is fire 🔥
George’s nose wasn’t even bleeding! What a monster
Foreman's a beast. Doesn't even look like he's punching hard. Heavy ass hands.

Shook Holyfield's ancestors up
BOOOM!💥
Those guys could sure take a punch.
holyfield juiced to the gills
I think so but not as much as in the second Tyson fight. Those guys were so juiced in that fight I'm not sure they qualified as human.
How the heck did either man absorb that many clean punches? They left it all in the ring that night. Wow! Foreman still has his speech intact, but Holyfield's damage from too many wars is more evident. Both are true champions.
holyfield is a proven PEDs abusing cheater and a shame to boxing he's a disgrace to the sport
Holyfield had some of the hardest punches I’ve ever seen. He could probably knockout an elephant but not Foreman.
No he didnt have that.
Foreman did not win. But he shook the whole boxing world. To fight an enormously courages and strong man like Holyfield toe to toe like this, needs to be more than a hevy weight boxer with punching power
When you think about it, Foreman did better against Holyfield than Tyson did.
Right 🙂😎 foreman was legend

Exactly those weren’t short punches he kept throwing elbows.
@@carlossierra2812 Only reason he won.🤔
He's a dirty fighter.. Snuck in lots of nasty and painful attacks like that. I almost think that Tyson was justified biting off his ear
Amazing sound too
Imagine hitting George like Holyfield did with that 8 punch combo And hè keeps walking up to you while you do it.
Seeing old man Foreman go 12 rounds against prime Holyfield is probably the most impressive thing I've seen in a boxing ring outside of a Rocky movie.
Esse é o verdadeiro box, pura técnica e força.
Evander was too smart to stand in front of George for long, like Moorer. When he did, he got rocked.
Two warriors going at it.
3:30 could have a homerun
I really like the 17 punch ultra combo holyfield throws starting at 2:24!
Come on how Foreman still standing what a legend
Foreman tomou tanto soco, e ainda assim não caiu. É muita força pra uma pessoa só
3:25 If that one would have landed George would have won by knockout. Ok almost certain
😱👏👏👏 que luta amigos, que luta....
Old George Foremans Brain and Young George foremans body. Combine them two and you get the best boxer to ever come to this planet.
i had never seen this before its one of those things that seems impossible to fight like george did at that age he must of been one of the all time greats.
Sylvester Stallone no doubt kept that fight in his memory bank until he released Rocky Balboa.
The Brute strength of Foreman is ridiculous. See how he pushes Holyfield with one arm like he's a child @ 0:31? Wow

Grande George , un gran boxeador , lo mismo Evander . Si Foreman , hubiera tenido 10 años menos , la historia hubiera sido otra..a mi parecer .
Man could George take Punishment.
Can you imagine that Ali beat George when George was in his PRIME!!!!!.....enough said.

could you strech more wide please it looks so slim

he learned it from archie manning

Crazy how big George can just stand there with his guard up to take Evander's hits until he wears out. 2:23
One of the greatest fights ever .Dont know how Foreman took them punches or Holyfield
That 4:00 dodge man 🥶
What about 4:07 ? Absolutely amazing
I just realized after all these years foreman had his shorts to his chest
молодой холифилд даже в нокдаун не смог уже старого для бокса формана, я даже не представляю выдержал бы он хотя бы один раунд против формана молодого
Холифилд бил сильнее Али, но Форман почему-то не падал, с годами держалка лучше стала что ли
who is who
Imagine How Good Ali was beating a Prime Foreman
ali was a media hype and nothing else
He wouldn't have done well at all with an aged Foreman like Holyfield did.
Ali got lucky
Whenever George Foreman landed a punch, it's like Evander Holyfield staggered across the ring. Evander Holyfield has one hell of a chin
Lesser men would have fallen from the shots both men threw. HWs back then we’re built different.
Actually here are 2 winners!!!! 🥊 🥊 🥊
