I think that era of 154 pounders is one of the best eras for that weight class.What a fight! I watched it for the first time the other day. My new favourite of all time!
Here's the Stewart fight. George was in surprisingly tough in this one.Been watching quite a few of Foreman’s fights and one memorable one to me is George Foreman v Ken Norton, not only does it depict how styles completely make fights it also is interesting the power and strength difference between two men who are a similar size.... as ken norton is quite big however during this fight is overpowered in every way possible
Was going to post some the Vasques vs Marquez wars. Can’t seem to find them.
Jesus, I didn’t realize Vasquez lost the use of an eye. Talk about putting it all on the line.Geeze, not sure how many other boxing quadrilogies there are, but these guys sure take the cake for the most brutal.
Talk about brain damage, and not to mention Vasquez lost sight in one of his eyes when all was said and done. smh
Corona still over us, so I decided to rewatch Holyfield-Tyson I ... I didn't realize how much of a pain in the ass Evander was with his God talk in the post fight interview ...
Interviewer: This is one of the biggest surprises in boxing we ever had.
Evander: Well you know, I give glory to God. And for everyone to know that: You can't choose against God. When God involved, Jesus alive, and I thank God...
Interviewer interrupts him: Why did you guanratee...?
Evander: Because my God is the only true God and anything must bow to God.
Interviewer getting annoyed: Well apart from that and apart from religion, because God is I hope for all of us. Let's get off that, let's get on to boxing. How did you fight such a brilliant fight?
Evander: Well, with the spirit of God. Like I told everybody, whatever the spirit leave me to do, that's what I would do.
Interviewer: Did you see him getting tired?
Evander: It's not about getting tired. It's about what God wanted me to do.
What would yall recommend from this man? ^ Finito

I remember yelling at my TV during this one. Slow starter but worth sitting through.
