http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04pdc34 Ricky Hatton, Carl Froch and Ricky Hatton talk us through the Rumble in the Jungle. Quality way to make the fight interesting again. First time Froch had ever seen it!
With all due respect WTF would either Ricky Hatton, or Carl Froch know about the genius of Ali? I admire and respect both guys for what they, are and what they do / did, but ffs they ain't Ali.
Seriously? They're not Ali, but are or have been pros on the highest level. That give them insights that you otherwise just don't have.
Or indeed you, so why are you rattling your cage? I SAID I both admire and respect them for what they are and what they do / did, but they are no more qualified to pontificate about Ali / Foreman than anyone else, especially those of us that were alive at the time, and saw what was then a boxing miracle. A win against ALL odds.
There were people at the time with more " insight " than Hatton or Froch could ever dream of and who had performed at a far higher level, ALL of whom were predicting dire outcomes for Ali. Guess what? They didn't know **** either.
'foreman was the betting favorite, and odds on at that' no ****ing **** that the fav was odds on in a 1v1 sport that was cool, they had some interesting things to say, i'd like more shows like this. maybe i should have watched the fight along with it but i seen it enough and i remembered i never watched provo v algieri, pretty similar tho
