    Still though, it takes some skill to do that to a machine like Joe Frazier, especially considering this was just over a year after the biggest win of his career.

    If Ali could have, he would have. He couldn't, so he didn't.

    I can't believe the Ali hype still builds to this very day.

    Ali fans are significantly worse than any Pacquiao or Mayweather fan ever was...

    :smoke he had a great stiff JAb and was a tremendous uppercut and hook thrower . It matched up well with JOE . but he was slow and clumsy which was highlighted by ALI and BIRD . Now imagine him getting outsized and outgunned in almost every department . That is what he would face with either KLIT . Imagine RON LYLE with more speed power and skill ??? GEORGE would be a sitting DUCK for either brother .

    What Foreman had, which is something Arguello also had, is a consistency about him, now you couple that with a good chin, heart, and devastating puncher power, which both had, and they are formidable fighters regardless of skillset.

    To current fighters who have a consistency about them, are Froch and Vitali Klitschko.

    Talking about in style, not direction of his career.

    Ali was within a few pounds of what Foreman weighed in at against Frazier and Frazier managed to beat Ali. Buster Mathis was bigger than Foreman, Frazier stopped him.

    LMAO

    Foreman collapsed from exhaustion he was not knocked down or out. He then quit. Foreman took the fight lightly, came in injured and simply was not in shape come fight night. Yes he lost and Ali deserves credit for the win......but Ali was smart and ducked him for the rest of his career.

    Ali had 10x the chin of Wlad and 10x the ring smarts of either Wlad or Vitali.
