Once again The British displays “Civilization” Win, lose or draw we are still Humans. Wished I’d been big enough to embrace Ali, after he KOd me. Cheers AJ
Say what you want; criticize as you will; But the fact of the mater is; Mike Tyson was the most spectacular athlete I have ever seen.Power & speed like someone from another planet.All other sports were put on back burner.when fought
Here was a man, more than just a Hero to me; If ever there was someone I tried to imitate it was The Great Jim Brown. Condolences to his wife & children.
Just a loss; Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson; Muhammad Ali and yours truly kissed the canvas. But we all made a better comeback. It has has never been about just winning. The true Champs always get up and try again. Who’s that on the floor? What a lonely place to be. Flat on you
Boy 45,years later this fight lives on. I was so tired; Muhammad was so brave. Africa was so far away. I’m a great-granddad now; hoping to guide friends and family through up and downs. Miss Ali,It’s a good life.
See we were always friends; That right hand punch of his was no way to show friendship though. Miss Ali big-time; but I still have all of you out there to say “Love you.”
I’m 70, years today; all we ever had was The USA. So thankful:John D. Rockefeller

I leave Africa about 25 years old; I was not happy with my life; even if I’d won the fight; winning had not made me happy. But The defeat made me sad. Then I realized what I’d Lost. 20 years later on this date (1994) I was World champ again most important “I was happy”
I was at Ringside. The most exciting night of boxing I’ve seen. They were giants. Both undefeated, both real life Champions; the winner were the fans.Thank you NYC The fight of the century

Hello Champ, once a Champ always a Champion; You’ve done so much for boxing. Losing is painful; but you’ll be back, even Greater. And I know.
50 years later I’m standing in the same corner I stood while winning my Olympic Gold medal. ‘Arena Mexico’ still there; I saw the Ghost of the 1968 Games, Mexico City
Saw the Joshua/Usyk fight: AJ seemed afraid? He lost his identity. (should I be cautious (go 12) attack with my power?) Usyk typical southpaw “if you won’t hit me I’ll be award and hit you” something’s wrong not AJ he took his punishments. Who are you AJ?
Hard to imagine I did something 50,years ago I’m still proud of,. I’d never had a dream to come true; mom & Dad we’re proud. My Olympic team loved it. A Gold medal.
47 years ago; I fought Muhammad Ali (Africa ) 1/2 hour of my life I have to give account of yearly; Ali & I never spoke of it; “The right hand he hit me with was like an electric shock on my chin.”I never shared this: stick around next year I’ll share more. I love it
So Marvin Hagler, How much did your haircut cost? Not much cause he can do it in the dark. So glad this guy was not a Heavyweight, never would I have come back. RIP
Anthony Joshua “Boxing is about adjusting “Nuts & Bolts” you’ve proven you have the machine, to be Champ. Just tighten up. (It’s called a tight circle) call me.
On this date 50, years ago I captured The world heavyweight title from Smoking Joe Frazier ( whom I miss dearly ) Everything changed for me.
Celebrated with friends and family.
There’s no country that has given so much to a sport for so many years than Scotland; if Scotland win the Rugby World Cup, and the big man calls me home, I’d smile.
When I first saw “Pernell Sweetpea Whitaker” in Training Camp; it was like watching a Cat with boxing gloves. Best balance I’d ever seen in a Boxer. RIP Great one. My Love won’t die
“Russell Mora” His weight was not listed; But the referee in the Fury/ Wilder Fight, Saturday night was the true “Giant” of the night; non-bias from start to finish; accurate on the stoppage. Thanks From Boxing
Tyson Fury has resurrected The Fight game, Moves like the middleweights and punches with the best of them. Size is Gigantic. Would not want to face him even a dream.
Great visit with my Granddaughter; we did church. A “Happy Birthday” with Joy.
For those of us who are advancing in years; I say with truth “The best is yet to come.”
George Foreman
I made a change 41, years ago, and I am better for it. I had the “Killer instinct, now I have this kissing instinct.” Wish I could hug the whole world.
One man said “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.” It’s a chore to be remembered for saying something “positive”
Asked by TMZ, This morning what I thought of The Wilder match on the weekend ( Showtime ) Wilder punched Dominic so hard,I closed my mouth and ran under the bed for fear he’d come after me.
You stand in front of a Hotel; 20 men of all sizes come in; every shape and form. The 21st person for some unknown reason “mesmerizes” you get up and ask “who was that or what was that?” 52 years later, never another Ali
It’s been over 46, years; Foreman vs Ali. Every year I’m questioned about the fight. What happen George? All I can say is “I hope I’m here to be asked the same question next year.”
Joe Calzaghe was a fighting machine; other than Henry Armstrong; boxing has never seen such; no one could beat him; not Even The great Roy Jone Jr. Roy Jones was about as good as the come
I dabbled into a few generations of Boxing; won some, couldn’t beat Ali ( 70s) came back won the title; but couldn’t beat Holyfield (90s) but so proud to have rubbed shoulders with great men. Archie. Sandy & Joe
