    Holmes is the last legendary heavyweight left standing that won a title in the 70's

    You see guys like Jake challenging AJ.

    I'd put good money on Foreman being able to kill a guy like Jake.

    Supposedly Holmes isn't in great health anymore. I'd say it's a likely bet he'll pass in the next 3-5 years.

    In fairness Grants leg was under his body. But I've never seen a broken leg in boxing so I'm not sure why George would have thought such a thing even possible lol

    I thought the same thing. Stopped watching right after. Don King, doesn't know what a friend is. He only views people in terms of what he can get(cheat) out of them.

    When do you think Don last called George? 1974? 1977? 1994?

    Dons going to the funeral?

    Unlikely.

    Remember when Big George went hysterical during the 3rd Bowe-Holyfield fight and literally yelled at Joe Cortez to stop the fight
