Forman a freak of nature

True he is a class act.

He never complained about pulling his head down but it doesn't change the fact that it was an excesive, blatant, illegal tactical move from Ali, as admitted by Dundee.

Have you never heard George's complains about the ropes and the count?

 

I've heard OTHERS make such complaints, but I don't ever recall hearing George make any complaints about the fairness of the bout.

 

What I would give to see Ali in his prime in a live fight :bart

 

Well he did. Can't be assed to look for links now but trust me on this one. He did.

 

get outta here with the crying ****

You do what you get away with, Forman pushes you into place to nail you, also resorted to pulling Alis guard down with an open glove

He was counted out so there can be no complaints

 

One of the absolute bullshits of sports is thinking that you do what you get away with and it's all ok as soon as the official score goes down on cards. It's laughable actually. An idiot thinks this way, sorry.

And I'm not crying, pal. Just stating facts. I don't find Ali better of the two. But if you want to be a media influenced sheep and cheer up just their heroes in the spotlight - then go ahead, not my business.

 

the point is that foreman broke rules too, it always happens in boxing.:yep

Alis jab is what bothered foreman the most and his straight accurate shots slipped in between formans caveman like winging

skills pay the bills and forman was far less skillful, Ali took care of all those neanderthal types

 

if foreman didn't hit so hard, who would win?

 

Ali was a very smart man, he was very lucky that night and knew he had to duck Foreman till he retired.

 

Foreman DID get tired.


AND, he was trailing after 8.

Ali was out-boxing him.

And this was prime Foreman and past prime Ali.

The Ali of 65-68 would have had a field day with him.

 

that's kinda the point. it's a what if that really doesn't matter and it DID happen. i mean, no one made foreman get tired: he did. whether through poor conditioning, lack of training, heat, etc. he got tired and ali was smart. victory was 100% earned

 

I suggest you go and watch some non contact sport like netball or something.Poor fragile George having his head pulled down by that bad man Ali.Of course you couldn't marvel at the punishment Ali took in there against a man at the time who was considered a monster.Then out think,out manoeuvre and out last the man and then knock him out something most critics at the time thought he had no chance of doing.No you have to bleat on about how George was cheated in there and try to rewrite history.

 

freelaw's opinions are truly revolutionary. i would bet the next 20 years of my salary that Ali Foreman is the only Ali fight he's watched

you don't find Ali better? ok, just keep it to yourself next time.
