George Foreman vs Scott LeDoux in a ten-round non-title bout
Date: August 14, 1976
Venue: Memorial Auditorium, Utica, New York
George Foreman stance: orthodox
Scott LeDoux stance: orthodox
Just two months after his rematch with Joe Frazier, George Foreman stepped back into the ring in a ten-round, non-title affair against Scott LeDoux. The comeback was in full swing, and his management team hoped to secure a rematch with Muhammad Ali.
Scott LeDoux's boxing resume reads like a who's who of heavyweight fighters from the 1970s to the early 1980s (his five-round bout with Muhammad Ali was an exhibition). Unfortunately, he lost to most of the elite level boxers he faced. His best wins before he fought Foreman were the fringe contenders Terry Daniels, Ron Stander and Larry Middleton. In his two most recent bouts before sharing a ring with Foreman, he lost on points to Duane Bobick, who was 34-0 at the time, and then on points to John Dino Denis. As LeDoux's nickname was "The Human Punching Bag", the main point of interest was could LeDoux take punishment until Foreman ran out of steam.
