Ali-Foreman II: Who would've won?

The question is what Foreman would have done. Norton had a good jab out of an awkward crouch and was very good at using it in order to get openings to the body. Frazier was mean at slipping under straight punches and coming up with a left hook that you didn't see until very late.

Foreman had very little in terms of setting up punches. He usually bullied his opponents into the ropes, which he was very good at, and then let go with everything he had. Well, he tried that against Ali and failed. What next? Well, he did have a good jab, but he didn't have terribly many punches behind the jab. Never saw hin throw a one-two, I think. Ali's jab was better and he doubled or even tripled it if needed to. He also had a mean right behind the jab (or in front).

Foreman's best chance is landing the money shot that ends it all. But even Shavers, who was a superior one-punch KO artist, couldn't do that to an older Ali. How's George going to pull it off?

Exactly. I think that,deep down in his psyche,George realised this.
