FOREMAN: ?Boxing was invented for the underdog? That?s why I give it to Pacquiao.? PhilBoxing.com Thu, 30 Apr 2015  Big George. Yesterday (April 28), two-time World Heavyweight Champion George Foreman was on CBS Sports Radio?s ?The Doug Gottlieb Show? with host Doug Gottlieb, where he talked about the Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight on Saturday, May 2nd in Las Vegas. Below are some highlights from the interview: On the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Fight: Talking honestly about what he thinks about ?The Fight of the Century?, Foreman said: ?This is major? boxing deserves something like this? I?m just happy the fight is happening, and it?s happening right now. Because everyone will get a chance to see what they wanted to see. If it had happened five years ago, there would have been some too young to enjoy [and] some old enough to say, ?Hey, there was better days.? But now everyone?s hungry for the matchup of the century. [These are] evenly matched fighters. It?s a fan?s fight, and it should be. It?s big.? Foreman continued later on in the interview: ?That?s true? [Mayweather?s] got everything to lose. But boxing was invented for the underdog ? for the smaller guy who doesn?t have a chance ? to come up with a way to beat the bigger, stronger guy. That?s why I give it to Pacquiao. The sport was invented? for the lesser.? On Advice He would Give Pacquiao: Gottlieb asked what advice Foreman would give to Pacquiao for this match: ?Hey, just win this round,? Foreman said. ?Every time you come back to the corner, you sit down on the stool, wave the towel over him and don?t say anything. The bell rings, go get him again. Do the same thing you did the first round all the way through the sixth or seventh round, and you?ll win.?  |
