    True,Danmann. Don't forget though,that Ali in earlier times,had to put up with similar,if not worse,sitauations. Before the second Liston fight he was being threatened with assassination. And the nutty pillow case heads were giving him the same treatment prior to Quarry I in Atlanta.

    Answer what, mate?

    Everything you've said has been replied to multiple times.

    You ask why it's legendary, you were told why.

    You asked why George didn't hit Ali, you were told that he in fact battered him from pillar to post and that you were mistaken.

    What else do you wish answered?

    There really is no controversy here. Foreman did not have stamina to fight a tough fight past 5 rounds. Those huge arms became very heavy. Ali outfought and outboxed George and then knocked him out. Ali is the only fighter ever to ko George which just adds to his greatness.

    Do you mean the same nutty pillow case heads Ali addressed their rallies as a friend and ally?
