yes, agreed <strong>Jerry</strong> did have hand speed over George. But the Foreman who destroyed<br />
Norton had legs that were just as fast as <strong>Jerry</strong>'s. Also, even though the<br />
Foreman-Lyle fight was one of the most exciting and re-watched fights of all<br />
time it was actually George at his worst. He was very rusty after the Ali fight<br />
and had still had some mental things to work out after that loss. He was wild,<br />
slow, and rusty in that fight. But in his next major fight, the second Frazier<br />
battle he overcame all that and looked very good. We can't judge Foreman soley<br />
on the very sloppy (but fun) Lyle fight. It was George at his worst, even though<br />
he won. I saw <strong>Jerry</strong> fight Joe Alexander (who I believe scored a knockdown) and<br />
Randy Neuman and even though he won, they were by no means a fair indication of<br />
how good <strong>Jerry</strong> really was. All fighters have performances like that but they<br />
can't be extrapolated and have their entire career evaluated on that.<br />
Personally I think George peaked with the second Frazier fight. And since he<br />
retired way too early we will never know how good he could have been. |<br />

not sure what you mean by Foreman had just as fast legs as <strong>Jerry</strong>. If you meant<br />
to say hand speed, that is true For Norton, as Norton (not Foreman) was quick,<br />
but if you meant leg speed, while <strong>Jerry</strong> was not quick footed, he could move and<br />
fight backward while Norton (and Foreman also) were more effective moving<br />
forward. That Norton could only move into Foreman made him more varnible to<br />
Foreman's attack than <strong>Jerry</strong> would have been. Remember that throughout <strong>Jerry</strong>'s<br />
career, <strong>Jerry</strong> was very good at Nailing figthers coming in with counter punches.<br />
This is why although Foreman would be a favorite going into a fight with <strong>Jerry</strong>,<br />
I would say about 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 odds, <strong>Jerry</strong> would still have a better chance<br />
of beating Foreman than Norton or Frazier, who also had difficulty moving<br />
backwards in a fight|<br />
|10/25/02 02:24:27 PM|John Gerard|NYC||rock289z@yahoo.com||||10|TO KENT: Agreed<br />
<strong>Jerry</strong> could fight moving backwards much better than Frazier. Not sure about
