You never hear about george or see him on documentaries like you do others.

That's because he went life and death with Norton, a man 6 yrs older than him in his absolute prime. Foreman DESTROYED Norton and Foreman DESTROYED Frazier. This is why you see Foreman and Ali in documentaries and you don't see Holmes.
Holmes was a great champion, and a great HW, but far from the greatest and he gets the respect that he imho deserves. Much more than Liston, who would walk right thru him.
