      If he was going to retire there would be a motivation to give it to Briggs if the fight was competitive. After this Briggs unified with Lewis which won won. If you let the lineage retire with Foreman you end that unification bout and you get the choatic 2000s situation a few years early.

      Judges ruin fights when they have an agenda going into it. Fairly obvious to me that Briggs knew he lost, George knew he won. There’s no way Briggs won 5 more rounds than George, anybody who watched the fight knows it. For being 48 years old and taking it to the young guns, Foreman is a living legend. #2 Heavyweight, ever.

      I know, and they always say if you want to take the belt off the champ, you need to show that you did it decisively. Did any of those judges watch Foreman doing most of the punching in the fight, following that ball of muscle around and bloodying his nose right up until the final bell, and truly think Briggs had taken the belt from the champ? I find that hard to believe. Maybe they just thought the young gun was a more plausible champion than the age defying Foreman, felt that it was ridiculous that Foreman was able to out score Briggs and didn't want it to be so.

    George Foreman is just class you can not buy. One of the hardest punchers boxing has ever seen. Devastating power in the golden era of the division... His humility after the fight in the ring, is so remarkable. Its not age, its just class, he didn't want to sour the moment for Briggs, when so many people were ready to tear down Brigg's performance, on HBO and in the crowd, George was there to uplift him.... & the performance, at 48, in the most dangerous of divisions, iconic.

I grew up watching the best fights in boxing history on "The Wide World of Sports" e.g., Frazier, Foreman, Ali, Duran, Sugar Ray, Hearns, Hagler, Benítez, etc until Don King's corruption entered the ring-that's when things went from bad to worse.

    George was the most brutal, fearless, and powerful boxer I've ever seen. I was listening to
    him tell a story of him playing with his "pet Lion" in his yard. The Lion all of a sudden attacked
    his bother and was going to kill him. George automatically attacked the Lion, and took a big
    swing but just missed the lion's head. He said, that the Lion knew he meant business, and a
    fight ensued between George and the Lion. He said he "dispatched" the Lion, but did not say how,
    so I don't know if he used a gun, or a knife or what, but "very few" guys would have the guts to
    attack a full grown lion that weighs 500 lbs. George was fearless, and nothing intimidated him,
    and he never has a bodyguard,like many other fighters. I truly admire this mountain of a man,
    and also really a gentleman with a good sense of humour. We'll never see another like him.

      wild and far too dangerous. In this

      going to go -- him or the Lion. Luckily for

Not only did he perform well, it's quite obvious Foreman won this fight to almost anyone who watched it. This fight was fixed. It was fixed by Foreman and the boxing community. Foreman was ready to be done. Boxing was ready for him to be done. He merely wanted one last great performance to show the grand kids how bad ass, even at 48, he still was. Foreman landed harder and more often. How Briggs got the win, leaves a person scratching their head. Foreman's performance though... just.... Amazing!!!

    George was a class act in this fight. The way he took defeat just put him right up there in the eyes of the masses. Shannon Briggs was declared the winner of the contest but George left the ring a true champ. Sometimes it's just the man and the moment.

    I am Foreman's biggest fan having watched him since I was a kid in the 70's. I remember the AWE, the fear of this man, the power, the energy surrounding anything he did. He was the scariest thing anyone had ever seen since Liston. I reveled in great joy at his comeback, and the great matches. Yes he won this fight. And as a true fan of the man, I am glad he was robbed and I'm glad it was over. I love big George.

    The way i see it George Foreman is one of the greatest heavyweights of all time , if not the greatest . In entertainment value for sure the greatest . I mean ..... George always goes for the KO , always tries to get into the slugfest, he never backs down , never gives in not an inch , , he blocks punches with his face half the time and doesn't even flinch about it , there is only one way he fights and that is forward ..... U woud never see george dance around the ring with some tactical stuff . He is a real brawler , a bulldozer ,an unstoppable force ....... Even the great Ali didn't wanna slug it out with Foreman , but tried to avoid the slugfest . Cause he knew if he would slug it out with foreman , george would have knocked him out . He was the king of making knockouts and headhunting .
    I mean for an audience what is better than that ?

    George Foreman a grest puncher, no one beat Fraizer in two fights like George,but more so upon his first return from an early retirement he became a wonderful being, as I met him in the 1968 olympics while working for the Medical mexican Olympic Committee at the Olympic Village, he had a chip on his shoulder and was very
    dislikeable, later I found out from him It was a hurtful reaction due to his early Life suffering, I therefore developed a great respect for him due to his honesty.

    I can only imagine George in his prime knocking Briggs through the ropes.
    From what I could see, Formans left racked up a ton of points.
    It was clear to me he won that fight, but what was awesome was his reply to losing the decision.
    He showed concern for Briggs loss of his mother over any other thing.
    That is a true champion forever in my book.
    Big George did not seem to throw that huge upper cut that lifted men off their feet in his younger days.
    The only reason he lost to Jimmy Young was that the network asked him not to take him out early.
    Normally, forman would knock his opponents out early in his younger days. He would get gassed when someone clinched and held,well, the network needed more beer commercials, so they wanted the fight to last as long as possible.
    Young was not a threat with any power,he would run and clinch.
