    In some criminal boxing fan act, I had never seen that before either!

    Thx for posting it.

    Couple things it made me realize.

    1. George had awful technique...or Ali made him look awful maybe?

    2. Ali is a bigger man than I realized, and a iron chin. George landed some bombs that he just walked through...whew!

    3. Ali had great punch slipping ability. I've always thought Tyson was the master, and he was good, but Ali looks like he may have him beat. Would have to see him in with a quicker puncher to say for sure.

    Anyway, your video had me online looking for highlights and I ran across this video.

    Look at the physical size of the 3 fighters. Also, Tyson and Ali have a pretty cool discussion and Mike manages to get all the through without saying anything stupid. Sugary Ray on the other hand...not so much. :lol:

    1 yes he did, in all fights he did..he learned how to box in his second combat a bit more.
    2 yea ali wasnt small..but, foreman wasnt as huge as people imagine..he was about 220
    3 yes ali slipped well..but he pulled straight back a bit too much..but helli..it mostly worked for him. But you can find plenty of video of Ali fighting quicker guys....Jimmy Young, Patterson,..really..most guys where faster then foreman..but lots of footage to be found

    Apparently it has Hagler-Hearns too and Marciano's 'never seen before' KO of Jersey Joe. :shock:
