Somewhat, in that fight his mindset was especially after being knocked down "what are they going to say if I lose to this guy" that willed him to get up and fight even harder and knock Lyle out. But its different when you're facing a crafty boxer like Holmes. I feel once the fight goes into the later rounds and Foreman is made to miss and number of times and nailed again and again with a solid jab he'd begin to break mentally. Not that he wouldn't keep trying to win just he'd lose his composure become more wild and tire himself out further leading to Holmes being able to stop him.
