    Is there any Heavyweight you'd favor over Old Foreman with a Parrot on his Shoulder?

    Do tell what the difference was between 73 Foreman and 74 Foreman who Ali schooled? Well, besides Foreman being a little better and more experienced ;) He was coming off a devastating stoppage of poor Kenny Norton in just his second fight post Frazier.

    1973 Foreman was PEAK when he destroyed Prime Frazier And Prime Norton! :deal

    1974 Foreman was OVER-TRAINED And teh Heat-exaustion give him less stamina to. PLus - before teh fight George was given yucky tastin' drink what tasted like medicine he said + his muscles ached bad after drinking it during/after fight- IMo he was poinsoned with some stuff what bad for muscle And Foreman had lot of muscle. And Dundee made teh ropes v.loose so Ali can spring back in them to take-away Georges' power in his punches So Ali could survive on teh ropes. Only Ali on one night of cheating in 1974 beat Peak Foreman [not Peak in fight cos he was poinsend/over-trained/heat-stroke/loose-ropes].

    Well - teh parrot could help make Old George better H2H by telling him stuff from Dundee during teh rounds what it remembered for him. BUT - Ali would beat Old Foreman cos he would run away with his speed...George would have a punchers'-chance as he says "all you need is one-big-punch"!

    Louis was capable of starching, destroying and demolishing ANY heavyweight of history...Foreman, Ali, Frazier, Lewis, Dempsey, anybody he caught, that is....and I think that he would have caught big George.

    I think Foreman could be stopped in 73 I could see Ali doing it. With 52 Marciano & 38 Louis, probably the same outcome would occur but I think the fight would be longer. Louis had some pretty good handspeed & could counter but Marciano's will would never be broken. It would be a good fight with likely the same outcome when they did fight I'm not gonna make excuses for Joe just because I'm a fan. He was old though btw lol.
