    Why TF have I been hearing for years how Ali didnt have his legs any more, was pretty much washed up and people act like he was 67 years old. He was 32. I was shocked when I seen that. Well I guess Tyson was washed up at 20 or whatever that they like to claim.

    Tyson was never washed up, he just lost the desire. He was even questioned about the end of his boxing career dealing with age and Tyson said it had nothing to do with age, just desire.

    Ali was beating him to the punch and landing most of the clean shots to the head throughout the fight. He absorbed some viscious body shots, but the revisionist history surrounding this fight is ridiculous.

    Ali was winning even and making Foreman look stupid even before Foreman gassed.

    NOPE ali had george's number.george's confidence and spirit was destroyed so much so that he fell into a deep depression after he lost to ali.if they had a rematch ali would have gotten inside's george's head and found another way to beat him again.:deal

    Think all those people questioning the conditioning of both guys in the Rumble tend to forget that in the first 3 rounds there was more action than youd find in the last three fights of Wylodomyr combined.
