Foreman's boxing career was full of big moments. He won the world heavyweight title at 45, knocking out Michael Moorer after a 10-year break from the sport. He also beat undefeated champion Joe Frazier by knockout in the second round. And who can forget his famous 'Rumble in the Jungle' against Muhammad Ali? Ali won that fight, using his 'rope-a-dope' tactic to stop Foreman in the eighth round.
After his boxing career, Foreman became a born-again Christian and an ordained minister. But he's still got plenty to say about boxing.
When DAZN asked him who the most skilled fighter ever was, Foreman didn't hesitate. He said:
"The most skilful boxer of all time would be Joe Louis. A lot of people say Sugar Ray Robinson but Joe Louis, he'd hit you with one shot you'd be assured to be hit with three more."
Joe Louis, known as "The Brown Bomber," was the world heavyweight champion from 1937 to 1949. He defended his title 25 times during that period, which is still the longest single reign as champion in boxing history.
Foreman's praise for Louis' skills shows just how impressive "The Brown Bomber" was in the ring. His ability to land multiple shots after the first one landed made him a formidable opponent.
While other great boxers like Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and Joe Frazier often come up in discussions about the best of all time, Foreman's pick of Joe Louis offers a unique perspective from someone who's been in the ring with some of the greatest.
