I remember all this clearly back in the day. Foreman came out with a bevy of excuses on his loss. He immediately came out with three. The canvas was too soft, the ropes were too loose and the count was too fast. A couple of months later he came out with the "I was drugged" excuse. The truth of the matter was he was outwitted by one of the best tacticians who changed plans after the first round when he realized it would be difficult to stay on the run with Foreman. It was an ad-hoc plan that worked. I was just a teen-ager watching this and saw the plan by the 5th round. Forget the excuses, he was out-schooled.
