    I came to the right conclusions about you .
    My claim about not jumping to conclusions about you meant that I just don't know whether you have some sort of clinical cognitive limitation (which you probably have , but I did not jump to the conclusion on which sort it is) , or just post mendaciously out of an agenda or for pay .

    COME ON.....!!! :huh

    Foreman was TRYING to hit Ali with his Sunday best frequently. He actually succeeded a few times,as well. Not often enough though,which drained George.

    It seems like Frankenfrank has to be upset to become intelligable. Ironic. If anyone ever doubted he was a Bizarro character, that is... ;)

    I must be doing a hell of a work , only "Ali_" is missing here , amazingly I even brought "Bokaj" out , I even refrained from mentioning his name for months by now , until he got summoned by this thread .

    Is it possible that I deal with 4 accounts of the same 2 people here ?

    But nothing like the full grown brain between yours .

    What the? George's corner had the ropes tightened after the end of the fifth round.It's in the broadcast of the fight.The commentator mentions how pissed Angelo Dundee is at this and that he's screaming at them...

    So at the beginning of the sixth Ali chooses not to go to the ropes and goes to the corners of the ring .


    Also,I don't know about George being able to go the distance with Ali in the most favourable of condition.He seemed to pack on a large amount of muscle in his thighs and hips around 1972.His system was to knock a guy out as quickly as possible....not to conserve his energy and try and go the distance.His bodytype wasn't geared to that...

    I've NEVER said 'fix', just major advantages to the 'Greatest', to the point that, had those advantages not existed, we might have seen a different result.
    Are you saying the ''powers that be'' had Ali set up to win no matter what?
    I don't believe that.

    Foreman was still a kid and he came into the fight out of shape. What is really telling is how Ali avoided a rematch with him at all costs.
