George is one of the very unique former champions who has all of his wits, his faculties, retired as champion.
Roy Jones is a good example.
And Roy, you know, Roy famously after Gerald McClellan was hurt when the Nigel Benn fight, he was really concerned because Gerald McClellan was the guy that a lot of people thought was a giant threat to Roy.
I know that that loss that McClellan had and the subsequent medical issues, the stroke and the aneurysm, all that stuff really disturbed Roy and made him think about getting out early.
Who else in recent memory led with left hooks?
But his talent was insane.
But it was also like he was just showing people he was kind of playing with his food He's like I gonna play a basketball game and then go and easily win a fight same night It's interesting to use the phrase playing with his food.
I mean, his speed was so preposterous.
When he would forego the jab to lead with left hooks, which was just so crazy.
How about the Vinny Pazienza fight when he didn't get hit for the entire round?
The only round in CompuBox history where someone never got hit.
