    I've seen this fight many times. Only now I did realize that Foreman refuses to greet Jimmy after the fight at 40:45 ...... He was obviously disgusted. Jimmy made him sound like a fool during the fight.

    Young confirmed that Foreman part one, was over rated and one dimensional.
    I know alot of folk will disagree. Ali dethroned him , Lyle confirmed the doubts, Young closed the show.
