And exactly how old do you think George was when this guy was his sparring partner?

Older than God's dog I'd imagine.

I sparred Ali in 2014 and he really wasn't as fast as they made him out to be. I was shocked.

Same guy had sparred Lewis, Tua, Holyfield and fought Bowe in the Ams

He said Wlad hit hardest overall.

Me too!

He got me with 6 jabs in a row. Incredible, we both only saw one coming.

Well if that's the case he must have been pretty old by the time he sparred with Wlad, so probably seemed like he hit hardest.

It's very subjective, it's not really worth a huge amount.

What is beyond doubt, is that when Foreman hit people, they used to fly around like rag dolls, he made Frazier look like a child in both their fights.

vlad. never could stand the guy one bit.

as much as i was hoping for every single of his handpicked victims and the mandatories to luckily catch him and end his mindnumbing reign of hypercautious jab & hug, when he as rare as he did, was letting his right hand go, it was a fvcking wrecking ball.

I read an interview from a guy, who knew a guy who knew a girl who dated a guy who walked his dog past the Man Utd training ground once and saw Gary Neville score and Ronaldo didn't in a 10 min 5 a side, therefore, Neville is the better finisher
