A hypothetical question about George Foreman

The words Ali and duck shouldn't remotely be in the same sentence.

 

If you lived through those times and were able to understand the timeline you would know Ali did not duck a Foreman rematch.

The great boxer which was Ali up to and including his bout with Frazier would beat any Foreman no matter how he threw his punches. The big issues in Zaire were the very small ring and heavily padded canvas which favored the puncher. (Punchers ring). Zack Clayton always said he never understood why Ali's management would have agreed to fight Foreman in such a small ring. He said the ring appeared to him as being 16x16.

 

Ali would beat foreman anytime

 

Cant say If George would have beat Ali or not if say he started out under the guidance of an Eddie Futch Dundee ect. I really would have liked to have seen that though

 

I don't think it was a question of his punching mechanics so much as his stunning lack of ring smarts, especially his inability to adapt and react to Ali's tactics and take advantage of the opportunities that Ali provided him. A smarter fighter blessed with his strength and power would have won that fight.

 

You know absolute $hit about boxing. Foreman had Archie Moore, Dick Saddler and later Gil Clancy as trainers in the 70's. All these guys were world class trainers dip$****. Ali never ducked a rematch with Foreman either.
Now as for his comeback weight Foreman weighed 235 against Qawi, but said that was too light for him, and he needed to be heavier. George said himself in his comeback that a designer body is not neccisarily a boxer's body. If it was Frank Bruno and Mike Weaver would be undefeated.
Why don't you read up on the sport, watch some fights, do some research before posting here you $hit for brains.
God I'd stick my size 13 foot hip deep up your a$$ you're so dumb!

 

Thank you.

 

I always thought foreman was pretty one dimensional until I read this.

So 1981 Ali beats 1974 Foreman?

 

Foreman in an interview said Ali personally called him, as in called his home and offered him a rematch if he'd beat Ken Norton again. Foreman declined as he thought he was through with boxing.

 

Not just beats but destroys, annihilates, renders unconscious

de·mol·ish
dəˈmäliSH/
verb

1. pull or knock down (a building).

That's 100% percent true. I think it was in his autobiography By George. Ali said he was going to have to fight Norton again for a 4th time and couldn't beat him. Ali even invited Foreman to use his Deer Lake training camp to train. Foreman had lost to Jimmy Young though, and declined in order to become an ordained minister.
