For you youngun's, way before the Grill, George Foreman was the sickest one punch knockout artist I've seen, almost lifting Joe Frazier of the ground with each punch.
Of course he was kind of slow, but no one wanted to be hit with the force of a baseball bat and he had a very long reach. Scary.
Muhammad Ali also had a long reach and was fast as hell, but not a real hard puncher.
Rather than risk taking a knockout blow on the way in, he came up with a plan.
(Supposedly), his team loosened the ring ropes and he leaned back and dodged the ponderous but potent blows, bobbing his head, covering up, teasing him while he threw more punches in the air.
Foreman punched himself out, got wobbly and was knocked out in the 8th round, totally spent.
While I was screaming to run the ball, was BB forcing Merriman and the blitzers to rush on every single play on purpose?
I noticed there wasn't much of anything towards the end.
Thoughts?
