George Foreman Quotes

Ha ha ha !!!


...."Hey, Kathy Duva is one of the most knowledgable ... in the sport."

-Jim Lampley

 

if you wear shorts in tiger colours it messes with the opponent

 

You know what - again, I think something to it. If you've ever sparred with someone with crazy patterns and multicoloured stuff on it's slightly off putting. Not contest deciding, but George is giving a fighters perspective there in his own crazy, entertaining way.
:hammert:

 

That knockdown came at the end of the first round.

It did continue.

 

not the Jameel fight?

Lampley's response: "don't be...."

 

"Not Much IS ALOT for Dela Hoya"



REED:notallthere:

 

"Talk to Me when U've Won just ONE Fight, Larry"

"I Wish Somebody would Show me My Words So I Could EAT Them"



REED:mj:

 

Not a goofy Foreman quote, but my all time fav one:

"Woooooooo..... unheard of! Un.... heard.... of!"

 

(About Reggie Johnson, who Grew Up in the Same Area of Texas that Foreman Made Famous, 5th Ward)

"I Could WHIP his Daddy"



REED:mj:

 

A few (one reported by Dick Saddler) off the beaten track...

During a car trip...

Sonny Liston: "Stop smacking that gum in my ear."

George Foreman: "If you seen the way I whupped that German, you wouldn't speak to me that way."

In the run-in to Zaire...

Reporter: "Would you continue Boxing even if you would lose over there?"

George Foreman: "Beg your pardon?"

Reporter: "You would continue Boxing, even if you would lose over there?"

George Foreman: "I beg your pardon!?"

-----

Jerry Izenberg: "Have you fought many guys who were talkers in the ring before?"

George Foreman: "No, I never get a chance to talk much. (Looks down, smiles to himself) By the time you get to know a fella, it's all over."

Interviewed post-fight at his pro debut...

Foreman: "Man, I'm tough. Look at that punch to the body, look at that. This boy better quit, Lord have mercy."

Howard Cosell: "Are you too cocky, too young, too soon?"

George Foreman: "Yeah."

Howard Cosell: "You are?"

George Foreman: "Yeah."

 

@ don't be

 

Same here! That was the definitive Big George moment for me! UNHEARD OF!:bears:

 

Someone should make one of these about Merchant.

I loved it when Lamps first shaved his head and Larry was a prick the whole night stiffling laughter until eventually he can't hold it anymore and says, "back to you...BULLET HEAD"

 

I think it was Bowe-Gonzalez where Foreman asked loudly "Where's the fire?"

 

"sometimes where there is smoke... theres just a whole lot more smoke" ::

 

Larry Merchant: Rahman has come in too heavy for this fight

George Foreman: NO LARRY, you can never be too heavy. You were never heavyweight champion of the world.

 

35 seconds into Norris-Taylor:

George Foreman: I think Norris is feeling him out just a little too long.

Larry Merchant: The fight just started George!

 

Thats been covered mate.:truce:

 

Check that out, it looks like they clipped the youtube account of whoever created those clips. I hope it wasn't Erratic.

 

Man, I forgot about this thread. What a classic! ::

 

Weird

 

Don King productions had my other account taken down for putting too many Tito fights.

 

Foreman has that honesty you don't find too often in more educated sorts. You have to appreciate that.

 

Fuuuuuurther Evidence of Merchant's Verbal BULLYing...He'd NEVER Hesitate in Trying to 1 Up Big George, yet when Foreman RETURNED the Serve, Merchant would Always MEEKLY Say, "Don't Pull Rank on ME, George"...



REED:shit:

 

I thought he said that to Jones?

 

The "Don't Hook With A Hooker" stuff was uttered by Kellerman.

 

Erratic, are you "ErraticBoxing"?

I've watched some of your fights up there, if that's the case

nice:bears:

 

Years after George said it.

 

Well sort of like Holyfield with Moorer.
