    So are you going to address my other key points? Or are you going to conveniently ignore them? Or push the goal post? You have quite the track record of doing this :sisi1

    You don’t get a response in half an hour and you are acting like this? Let’s keep it to boxing not your internet opinion of me.

    So let's go to the next one... If last ones right hand was "No Damage" I'd hate to see what buzzing is... at 20:53 of the fight he is actually "buzzed" (credit) in an animated way his head snaps back from the shot, it wasn't "pushed" like we'll see later, similar to before Ali has hit him hard GF's stunned by another lead right. - Ali lands a 2-1 combo that buzzes (but doesn't hurt) Foreman (2:31). So we agree Muhammad has hit George with 2 good right hands that both visibly effect GF in a game where the idea is to pretend you are not hurt. After this Ali covers GF's face with a glove stiff arming him steering / pushing GF back off balance momentarily. Below is a time stamped video.

    You were quick with the first one (because you thought you had leverage) & disagreed strongly (you always take offense to people who disagree with you - even respectfully). Please address all my many other key points. You asked for someone to do a breakdown of the round. Well I have, & now you're stalling :facepalm:.

    I was quick with the first one because it is Saturday wtf? lol I also already posted, be patient and drop the snark I'm hoping to just keep this about boxing please drop the "Ducking the smoke" "stalling" "I don't like you" narrative, I will need to invest time in this to go over a 7 round fight at a forum snails pace... I don't want to do that with someone acting like a donkey, so I ask politely please stop.

    @Showstopper97 "Minor" damage? how about we talk in *better* more general terms like "flush punch" and "stunned" "buzzed" etc because what is "medium damage" to you? I don't know what your frame is on this, I think a good scoring punch that buzzes / stuns someone showing visible symptoms of brain jiggling is if there isn't a KD what defines a winning round for "damage done" it really undersells what it is saying "minor"

    I hear your point. But you also overestimate how bad Foreman was hurt from the 1st shot. You said:
    The exchange lasts barely 2 secs. In that amount of time, you couldn't tell if Foreman was hurt, seeing how quickly he recovered.

    Well seeing as you call it "minor" our difference in "hurt" naturally is different too "hurt" is a catch all from being stunned to being on wobbly legs that punch hurt him, that punch really hurt him etc change it to "Ali hit him with a good shot and stunned him" and it means the same thing to me. He was visibly shaken up and clinched was the bottom line.

    SPOT-ON when you state that "Ali was just made of something different."

    Isn't that true of all the legends in ANY endeavor?? They have an "energy", a "force", a "spirit"--call it whatever you want but Ali without question was one of those once in a lifetime human beings!!
