Legendary Knockout: Foreman KO Moorer

Below is a few minutes from the HBO Legendary Night of George Foreman-Michael Moorer. This is one of my favorite KOs of all time, probably because of the history that came with it. George Foreman became the oldest man ever to win the Heavyweight Title. I laugh at this segment because Michael Moorer says Foreman is lying about him setting up the KO. What is really funny is Moorer's trainer, Teddy Atlas, tells him to not stand in front of Foreman. Moorer seemed a little bitter in the interview but says he wasn't. I don't know, his corner told him to not stand in front of Foreman, when George sees the footage he describes it as it happens, and even Jim Lampley says George said what he was going to do before the fight. Seems Moorer was the only person of interest who did not see it coming. Oh well.
