Zaire, who else could have beat Foreman that night ?

wrong tactics yeah the same that made him undefeated. george hadn't gone past 4 rounds in 3 years. not many would make round 5 and ali was smarter & tougher than most.

 

How many of those fights prior to Zaire were in 80 degree heat (the fighters said it felt like 100) with high humidity?

 

Get a defensive fighter with a solid chin and he should do the job.

Johnson, Byrd, Young, maybe Machen, Walcott has an outside chance.

Plus I'd favour Louis and Tyson also.

 

manila was a lot worse than zaire. the fight started at 4am. stop making excuses.

 

McCall ?? :huh

 

delete

 

Hes got a serious obsession with Oliver, he also claimed Oliver would beat Tyson too

 

Honestly not too many

Not sure who could have taken the punishment to the body that Ali took without wilting

 

Not many would lay on the ropes and intentionally take body shots.

 

This was part of what flummoxed George.

 

hardly a necessity for beating him

 

:deal the Ali fans need to realise that willingly taking brutal shots and tiring George out is not the only way to beat him as Lyle nearly showed us. I know that's not Zaire Foreman, however styles will always make fights.

Anyone think Bowe has a chance if he stuck to a solid game plan?

 

Bowe was exceptional at lying on the ropes and absorbing punishment. Doesn't bode well for George.

 

It should also be said that Bowe's defence was hardly his greatest attribute. This would result in George knocking him out,in my opinion.

 

I agree
