I admire both men.

Frazier was “Smokin Joe” and his greatest fight was his Miami victory over Cassius Clay in 15 fierce rounds.

Foreman made buckets of money with his Lean Mean Grillin Machine. As a very young man he proudly waved the flag during his Olympic victory while some other athletes were giving the Black Power salute during the medal ceremonies. My favorite Foreman fight was when he rose from the canvass to beat a tough Ron Lyle in a non-title match. That fight was a bloody five rounds and at one point it looked like a Lyle victory as Foreman barely made it to his feet.

Holyfield said that NO ONE hit him as hard as George Foreman. Keep in mind, George was pretty old when he fought Holyfield.
