Joe Frazier's son Marvis said that his father always had nightmares about that title fight at Kingston Jamaica on 22 January 1973 and woke up screaming.Son Marvis had to calm him down.
George Foreman is the greatest heavyweight of all time. The fact that he could come back in his 40’s and win the title again demonstrates what a skilled fighter he was. Probably the hardest puncher in history as well.
Foreman had to be tremendously strong. In the very first round he was "pushing" Frazier off, and consistently keeping him at bay with a punishing jab. Slow starter or not, up to this point no fighter had done that to Joe.
You cannot beat Foreman without a right hand no matter how great your left hook is. Cooney learned that painful lesson. That’s why I give a young Tyson or Lennox Lewis a good chance against a young Foreman. Even Lyle who ended up on the canvas against Foreman, gave George the fight of his life because he could deliver effectively from both sides. Frazier won a lot of his fights by physically dominating and wearing fighters down and ultimately finishing them off with the hook. But against the tremendous power of Foreman, he could not move forward and apply pressure without getting knocked out first.
foreman's got a really unique style. He reaches, which you're not supposed to do, but he's trying to trap and parry hands or hold their shoulders, get to an angle, and then blast the body. He shoves frazier back over and over, like holyfield did to beat tyson and offset that forward pressure bob and weave style.
Precisamente por esto fue que la victoria de Ali vs. Foreman fue tan impresionante. Nadie pensó que le iba a ganar a este demoledor de hombres. Miren lo que le hizo a Joe Frazier, increíble. Y así era Big George, increíble. Por eso luego de tantos años volvió del retiro a competir y nunca cayó más a la lona, solo con Ali. Foreman, una bestia gigante, que los golpes no parecían afectarles y sus golpes eran tan pesados que eran capaces de tumbar a un elefante. Un gran tipo también. Gracias a estas 2 leyendas por darnos tantos momentos gratos en el deporte del box!

Bob Hope once joked, "I paid $300 for a ringside seat to see that fight in Jamaica, and Frazier sat down before I did" LOL!
