1975 in Toronto Foreman took on 5 guys scheduled for 3 rounds each. It was a crazy night with Cossell and Ali doing the commentating for TV. This was not long after the fight with Ali in Zaire. Crazy night.

Big George was seriously pissed off at that point in his career.

It was amazing the transformation he went through the 10 years he took off after the Jimmy Young fight. All for the better.conan_the_cribber wrote: ↑23 Dec 2020, 08:12 Big George was seriously pissed off at that point in his career.

This was mocked by many people at the time, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Yeah it was a real fiasco but it was entertaining. Ali at ringside doing the commentary was comical. He was telling the opponents lay on the ropes like i did and taunting George throughout the contest. George was deeply mentally hurt after his loss in the Rumble in The Jungle and it took many years for him to recover from that loss. I have the video and have enjoyed it it was another situation like the Ali-Inoki fight it did nothing good for the sport of boxing.
