EDITOR’S NOTE: “There is a tide in the af
fairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on
to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is
bounded in shallows and in misery.
— Julius Caesar, Act IV, Scene III, as recited
by George Foreman.

^qan wants Douglas
HOUSTON — George Foreman is con
cerned that Buster Douglas isn’t aware of the
ebb and flow tendencies of the heavyweight di
vision.
He’s taken to spouting poetry and mounting
a campaign to help Douglas survive the nuances
of being heavyweight champion.
The conclusion according to Foreman’s logic,
of course, is that Douglas’ best move would be to
fight Foreman for the heavyweight title and the
sooner the better.
But he can’t get any response from Douglas
or dethroned Mike Tyson.
“Who was the hottest thing in the world
awhile ago and who is it now?” Foreman asked,
wiping perspiration from his brow after a morn
ing workout at his northside gym.
“Before you know it, the tide is going to roll
out on them. What they are doing is allowing me
to steal their thunder.”
While Douglas and Tyson haggle over mil
lions, Foreman plans to continue fighting for
whatever he can get in hopes of creating a
groundswell of support that will lead to a title
shot.
“While they’re deciding over all these million-
dollar dealings, I’m going to be out there fight
ing and stealing their fans,” Foreman said.
Foreman, 41, says the younger contenders
shouldn’t expect time to catch up with him.
“I’m going no where,” Foreman said. “I’m
getting better. I’m better than I was a year ago.”
Douglas sees no need to defend his title be
fore September and he has announced no plans
to consider Foreman as an opponent when he
does.
The champion has said Tyson and Evander
Holyfield are the only contenders.
“1 won’t be pushed aside because Buster
Douglas has the title belt now and as beautifulas
it is and as important as it is, he can’t eat it,
Foreman said.
Foreman spent months building up a grudg
match between himself and Tyson only to have
Douglas win the title in a shocking lOth-round
knockout on Feb. 10 in Tokyo.
Now Foreman has to start over and build
Douglas and he’s taking his message to the me
dia.
“I was attacking the reign of terror thatlj
son had going,” Foreman said. “But Tyson is
namic. He doesn’t talk but he’s like some human
beings who can be still and they are still dy
namic.
“You can see them and feel the motion
That’s what Tyson has.”
Foreman said his statements created contro
versy in the media, but gained him a followinj
among the people.
“The people came up to me on the street
they said ‘Foreman, we have our ears to tht
ground and we hear the drums.’ ”
