Were there any boxers that never sat down between rounds?
George Foreman never sat down between rounds because he believed it gave him a psychological advantage.
He would be able to look over at the other corner, looking physically big, and the opponent would think “here I am tired sitting and this guy is standing.”
Foreman said that, due to his size, he would have wasted too much energy getting up and down so he just stayed on his feet resting on the post.
“Big George” had the greatest chin in boxing history. Knocked down 3 times. Knocked out only by Muhammad Ali in 81 fights.
He was completely outclassed by Holyfield, too slow to do much of anything, but, he took Holyfield’s best punches and walked through most of them.
A giant immovable object.
