There's this handy thing in browsers called bookmarks/favorites. You might try it. Even if you close the tabs you don't need they'll still be in your browser's web history in case you need to revisit those sites later (you can manually clear this history but your bookmarks will remain).

I didn't know that he was in line to fight Lennox, that would have been a bad one for him.

You never know. Especially because Lennox had a tendency to pick the wrong strategy at times.
If he boxes George in the same manner he boxed Tua, he certainly takes the decision. But what if Lennox gets brawlish and gets into a dog fight like he did with Bruno?

And just like with Ali, it would have changed our perspective on that era because Lennox came out as the most dominant of his era.

One thing people overlook: If George wins in Kinshasa, we look back at the whole era in a different way.
And I believe if he takes a step back and jabs instead of going all out, he wins the fight.

He was always throwing a lot of leather and never got tired.
He couldnt train for a couple of weeks after an injury which affected his cardio going into the match with Ali.
 
i had a fair bit of back and forth with George back when i ran my own boxing website, he was extremely friendly guy and was always willing to offer his opinions on things and did a few Q and As with me.

will always be remembered as a terrifying man who could punch like a mule, there arent many people to scare the shit out of Mike Tyson, but Foreman was one of those
 
76 is a good age to reach but I was surprised to see him go. He's such an integral part of modern boxing.

His biopic flopped but I watched it twice, it's actually one of the better biopics I've ever seen. Biopics don't always sell that well though. I loved it, great casting, and the dude playing george did a great job and even underwent the physical transformation between old and young george. It's a great boxing film.

I don't know, Lennox was so smart, I only saw him in a real brawl with Klitschko and that was only because he was fat and out of shape and getting desperate. He generally was very smart about how he fought. He fought great punchers like Tua, Tyson and fought smart, of course a bigger guy is going to have advantages they didn't but Lennox usually fought smart. I never watched the Mercer fight, that was one where they say he should have lost.
