    To be honest, I do not think Joe Frazier beats him without the layoff. I do not think Ken Norton does either. And I think he outboxes George Foreman to a Decision win or late stoppage.

    If Muhammad Ali had fought on after Foreman, he would, of course, have eventually lost. The Parkinson's and Age would have still caught up to him, perhaps even sooner than it did. Terrible disease!
