George Foreman NABF History

RexWalker · Post by **RexWalker** » 30 Jun 2003, 13:30

The Boxing Records Archive shows "Big" George fought for the NABF heavyweight title on three separate dates:
May 10, 1971 v. Gregorio Peralta
January 24, 1976 v. Ron Lyle
June 15, 1976 v. Joe Frazier

Can anyone verify this as the NABF has no record of these being NABF title fights. I need this info for an article I'm writing for the NABF newsletter.

The CBZ does not show those as NABF title fights, although the Peralta fight was for something called the PAN AM TITLE

RRB 1979 has the Frazier II and Lyle listed as being for the U.S. Heavyweight Title.
Anyway, they are reported here at Boxrec as being for the NABF title, should it be removed?
