    Are you going to even address this Russ? I see you starting threads left right and center so assume you have seen it? It's not the first time you've made the claim and a shitload of us would like to be educated.

    Christ, Ali iced Foster with a pair of rights in the 8th rd..... It took a week to thaw out Bob Foster after being stopped by Ali..... Ali got a nick from Foster, however, it was no biggie........ Ali whupped his ass..... Peace...

    Out of curiosity, is every version of this fight blurry? Every time I've seen it online or on DVD it's been blurry.

    Close in size? No way patterson was easily a natural 190 pounder ,foster was too. Fragile ,patterson by ko and easy.

    Foster and Ali never fought as amateurs this is a myth.

    Didn't Reg Gutteridge mention in the earlier clip that they had SPARRED and Ali had been dropped by Foster? I have to admit, I have never heard that before.

    Maybe Ali was very young and a sparring knockdown means very little, really. I thought Ali's jab looked very sharp in this fight, by the way.

    When Ali mugs his opponent after being hit it means he was hurt. Absolutely no doubt that right hand staggered Ali. Foster never beat a hwt and he was not starting with a win over Ali.
