someclown Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 He is not going to fight anybody that can hurt him. I have so much respect for Foreman though. That dude should definitely write a book about his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djprotege Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Originally posted by vicman anyway, wtf is he doing fighting at 55? ugh. good question...but i'm not gonna critcize him for doing it. When you have a passion in life (Foreman and boxing in this case), its so hard to give up and walk away from it for life. Its why you see so many pro athletes embarrass themselves by playing way too long and past their prime. Think about the one thing you love to do more than anything in life. Playing a sport, music, reading, writing, video games (bad examples but you get the point) ...how would you feel if someone told you tomorrow that you werent allowed to do that any more for as long as you live. Wouldnt be a good feeling would it? Just the same, it would be hard to give it up on your own and never do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
