Answer 5

most definetely.....there are not many boxers who would stand a chance against a prime george foreman, he was one of the most dominant champions ever.....joe frazier was considered by many to be one of the greatest boxers of all time (he still is) and george foreman made him look helpless. He had rare God given power in both arms and he managed to regain the world title at the age of 45, he is definetely in the top ten list of best heavyweights ever.

Answer 6

Absolute legend.  Gold medal, 2 world titles, KO wins over Frazier, Norton and the impossible to KO George Chuvalo.

In his 40's he more than held his own with the top fighters of the era.

Answer 7

it is best to refer to george foreman as a living legend in the history of heavyweight boxing.
