The Fix In The Jungle?

no, i dont really like ali but i cant see this fight being fixed

 

It was absolutely a fix,and anybody who denies it was such is clearly on the same type of medicine that Foreman got spiked with.


And for what it's worth,Foreman was also drugged in his fights with Peralta and Young.One time is a coincidence,but three times is clearly evidence of dirty,underhanded tactics.

 

So what? Dundee ended up doing foremans corner when he won the title back off moorer. Doesnt mean a thing

 

Of course it wasn't ****ing fixed. George tried really, REALLY hard to knock Muhammad out. It was really, REALLY hot and George got really, REALLY tired.


Where is the ****ing mystery?


A forum full of ******s.

 

Dont u think its a bit of a coincidence, the guys who think the fight was fixed, are mainly Ali haters anyway?

 

It just seemed that the boxing establishment was against Foreman.The only logical conclusion is that many within that establishment were white,liberal,counter-culture types that were still upset at George waving that miniature American flag at the same event that his "brothers" were making a momentous stand.

 

Foreman fought one of the dumbest fights of all time that night in 1974...

 

Rocky Jim,

Not one of the dumbest,,,,,,,

But 'The Dumbest'

George made it is sooooooo easy for Cassius Clay.

Even Rudi Lubbers would have defeated 'Big George' in Zaire.

 

George Foreman younger, stronger, the Champion with a average of 2.1 rounds of combat per bout in his previous 10 fights before faced Ali, finds Ali rope a doping, Foreman must have thought all his Christmases had come at once, a static Ali, Foreman did what any murderous puncher would do he unloaded and unloaded.

Lets not forget all apart from 3 of Foremans previous 40 opponents had failed to reach end of fight, so a static Ali was in Foremans mind going to be not seeing the bell at end of 15 rounds.

Alis effectiveness at covering up and ability to absorb punishment, was not on Foremans radar, all Foreman saw was a victim eating his leathered fists, then once tiredness set in, Ali is initially using his brain by talking to Foreman, belittling his attempts, which made Foreman try harder, thus he tired quicker.

Once Foremans threat expired Ali unloaded, brains over brawn.

Foreman, Tyson, Liston...blew away their foes wrecking ball style but when a certain opponent dug in, the above all 'strong in the arm became weak in the head' and capitulated.

Foremans loss was no fix, Foreman merely lost to The Greatest.

 

Nature Boy Buddy Rogers. Yeah, me too. I found a neat interview with him on Youtube. Killer Kowalski is probably my favorite wrestler from the golden age of wrestling, though - and George sure put on a great act, that flamboyant homo act of his. You mentioned his wife before, but the fact that he was married and perfectly normal - well, sort of normal - was kept top secret at the time. I love that expression he's wearing in the photo as he adores himself in the mirror. Perfect. The guy playing the role of his valet, by the way, was his childhood friend.

 

Only a disrespectful arsehole with an agenda will vote `yes` or `probably`

 

Only a (no offense) ****ing slack jawed ****** with a politically correct agenda would vote "no" or "probably not".

 

:yep:yep

 

Foreman Hook voted yes? Thought you liked teh gr8test there m8.
