George Foreman breakout fight

Today’s question: The 1968 Olympic gold medallist in the Heavyweight division was George Foreman, who entered the 70s with a perfect 13-0 professional record, mostly against unknown fighters. In August of 1970 he fought his first world top-ten ranked boxer, who he knocked out in the third round. Who was it?

Yesterday’s question and answer: The first round of the 1996 National Football League draft included linebackers Kevin Hardy (No. 2), John Mobley (No. 15) and Reggie Brown (No. 17), but this MVP lasted until pick No. 26. Who was he? The answer: Ray Lewis Also in that draft, George (#14) & Marvin Harrison (#17) were taken behind RBs like Nebraska's Lawrence Phillips & Michigan's Tim Biakabutuka.
